Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards of conduct
				for students and prescribe the substantive and procedural due process rights of
				students at the Washington school for the deaf. The procedures and standards set
				forth in this chapter shall govern the imposition of discipline. "Discipline"
				means all forms of corrective action other than emergency removal from a class,
				subject, or activity, suspension, or expulsion and shall include the exclusion of
				a student from a class by a teacher or administrator for a period of time not
				exceeding the balance of the immediate class period: Provided that the student is
				in the custody of a school employee for the balance of such period. Discipline
				shall also mean the exclusion of a student from any other type of activity
				conducted by or on behalf of the school. Discipline is considered part of the
				school's educational process. In every case of misconduct, the nature and
				circumstances of the violation will be considered and appropriate discipline will
				be administered on a less restrictive alternative basis including, but not
				limited to, time out, detention, behavior contracts, restriction of privileges,
				reprimand, restitution, suspension or expulsion.
