Every individual throughout the school system must take a direct, personal, and active responsibility for discipline. Discipline begins in the home between parent and child, and continues in the classroom with the relationship between the teacher and the student. Each has the mutual responsibility for the maintenance of that discipline. Therefore, in order to specify and clarify the fundamental guidelines of student behavior in our school and to establish procedures to be followed should serious disciplinary action by school authorities become necessary, the following rules and regulations have been adopted for Midpark High School under the direction of the Board of Education. Rules and regulations are necessary to maintain good order and discipline and to promote a healthy educational climate.
Students are responsible for their actions.
Violation of rules will result in disciplinary action which may include parent contact, after school or Saturday School make up, out of school suspension, expulsion, referral to appropriate law enforcement authorities, etc. Many discipline situations will be referred to the I.A.T. team who may decide upon a personalized form of discipline. The discipline procedure will be organized into two areas, Administrative and Non-Administrative Offenses. Since the school environment is an extension of the public community, any legally unacceptable behavior, demonstrated in a school setting, will also include the intervention of public law officials.
