Posted on 05.16.10 by Christa
The following update has been approved by The Academy School Board on April 12, 2010, and takes effect in the 2010-2011 school year. Changes noted in red.
Discipline Steps Toward Suspension or Expulsion
Movement onto Step 1 below and from one step to the next occurs either with the third detention or because of very serious behaviors calling for immediate intervention and discipline. The counting of the detentions starts over after a student has gone five (5) weeks without a detention.
Step 1 -
The student serves one day suspension. Following this suspension, a conference is held with the student, teachers, parents or guardians, and the principal. The parents or guardians are made aware of the procedures that will follow if the problem continues. The step is recorded in the student’s file.
Step 2 -
The student serves a two-day suspension. Following the suspension, a conference to discuss the matter is held. The parents or guardians and student are counseled that the next step (3) will place the student only one step from expulsion. The action is recorded in the student’s file.
Step 3 -
A conference is held with the student, teachers, parents or guardians, principal, and administrator. The student is suspended for three days and the parents or guardians are informed that the next step (4) is expulsion. This action is recorded in the student’s file.
Step 4 -
The parents or guardians are notified that the student has been expelled. The School Board is informed, and the action is recorded in the student’s file.
At Step 3, the parents or guardians may appeal to the School Board at the next scheduled meeting for a review. The appeal must be submitted at least five school days before the next school board meeting.
