Expelled students will be placed in another educational program. If expulsion is recommended, the student will have an administrative hearing. The Board of Education makes the final decision to expel a student. During the expulsion process a student may be placed in another school program or be out of school for up to 40 school days. Students in possession of any real or replica firearm, knife, explosive or other dangerous object will be recommended for expulsion.
State law mandates expulsion for students who knowingly possess a firearm.
Students found using or in possession of controlled substances or other intoxicants will be suspended. Students providing or selling controlled substances, or substances represented to be controlled substances, will be recommended for expulsion. Upon the request of a parent and physician, an authorized school employee may administer medications to a student. Students found with these substances will be subject to discipline. Some people, at some time during their life, may have an adverse reaction to a supplement or medication.
