Document:
The following disciplinary measures may be applied as appropriate to the pupil's violation of school rules. The measures are sequential and are organized in order of severity. The age of the pupil, nature of the offense and circumstances surrounding the offense will all be taken into account when discipline is being applied.
A school staff member in authority may admonish the pupil for his/her unacceptable conduct and warn the pupil that additional misconduct may warrant a more severe penalty. Teachers will settle less serious discipline issues in the classroom. A conference, a phone call to the parent or a teacher assigned detention will settle most cases. Students will be sent to the office in more severe cases.
c. Repeated Offense: Parent conference will be required. Possible deprivation of privileges as articulated below or appropriate to the situation.
d. The administrator in charge of discipline will interview the pupil and determine which, if any, additional disciplinary steps are indicated.
b. The pupil may be excused from detention only for an unavoidable commitment previously made; any such excused detention must be made up on another day.
A pupil who has cheated on a test/assignment, plagiarized material, falsified sources, refused to submit assignments, or otherwise indulged in academic dishonesty or negligence will have to complete the assignment or a comparable assignment to demonstrate level of proficiency. The parent(s) of the student will also be contacted and informed. If the behavior continues, student may be subject to loss of privileges and further discipline.
b. In-school suspension is a deprivation of the pupil"s right to a thorough and efficient education and will not be imposed without the due process set forth in Policy and Regulation 5610.
