The Student Respect and Responsibility Code is essential to the progress of all students. Respect for law and the observance of school policies, procedures, and local school regulations. Respect for public and private property rights. Student behavior that unduly disrupts the school environment or invades the opportunity for others to learn cannot be tolerated. Privileges reflected in this document are not necessarily legal rights but reflect the expectation of the school system and are afforded by the school district to its students.
Community residents have a right to privacy, private property and freedom from abusive behavior.
Students must not loiter, litter, trespass or create nuisance conditions for residents of the community. Schools have a responsibility to cooperate with law enforcement agencies to which law violations affecting community members are reported. In the best interests of students, lines of communication between the school, police department and appropriate service agencies shall be open and accessible at all times. Denial by the Board of Education of the right to attend school for more than the period of suspension. Denial by the school administration of the right to attend class or school for up to 5 school days, except if a notice of expulsion has been sent which may extend this up to 15 days.
