Document:
The Board of Education authorizes the administration of the Grand Island Public Schools to utilize emergency exclusion, short or long term suspension, expulsion, or mandatory reassignment for certain situations or conduct prohibited by the board’s rules, standards established pursuant to the Student Discipline Act [§79-254 to §79-294] and applicable federal regulations.
The student is known to have a dangerous communicable disease transmissible through normal school contacts and poses an imminent threat to the health and safety of the school community (See also Grand Island School Policy 8513–Communicable Disease Control).
The student’s conduct presents a clear threat to the physical safety of himself, or others, or is so extremely disruptive to make temporary removal necessary to preserve the right of other students to pursue education [§79-256].
Mandatory reassignment shall mean the involuntary transfer of a student to another school in connection with any disciplinary action [§79-256].
Repeated violations of any established rule if such violation constitutes a substantial interference with school purposes [§79-267].
Any of the above listed activities may constitute violation of the Nebraska Criminal Code and as such will be cause for law enforcement involvement and parental notification as per §79-293 and §79-294 of the Student Disciplinary Act (see below).
Any suspension or expulsion under this policy shall comply with the requirements of the Special Education Act and the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 20 U.S.C. 1401 et seq. [§79-259].
In all matters involving exclusion, suspension, expulsion, or mandatory reassignment of a student, the student will be given procedural due process as per the Student Discipline Act Section §79-259 to §79-294.
The principal of a school or the principal’s designee shall notify as soon as possible the appropriate law enforcement authorities of the county or city in which the school is located of any act of the student described in section §79-267 which the principal or designee knows or suspects is a violation of the Nebraska Criminal Code.
The principal, the principal’s designee, or any other school employee reporting an alleged violation of the Nebraska Criminal Code shall not be civilly or criminally liable as a result of any report authorized by this section unless (a) such report was false and the person making such report knew or should have known it was false or (b) the report was made with negligent disregard for the truth or falsity of the report.
§28-405 is a lengthy listing and description of several hundred controlled substances by official, generic, common, chemical, brand, or trade name. This information will be available in the district central office.
