Reports/Disciplinary Probations
Parents will be notified when a student’s behavior is unacceptable. Flagrant or repeated offenses will lead to various in-school sanctions, including disciplinary probation. Unsatisfactory behavior while on probation may lead to suspension, which may be in or out of school. Suspension will continue until a satisfactory parent-student conference is held with administration. Students will then continue on disciplinary probation for a period of nine weeks, at which time behavior will be reviewed. Failure to make satisfactory progress may lead to expulsion.
Suspension and Expulsion
The following conduct may lead to immediate suspension or expulsion. Fines noted where they apply:
1. Possession or use of weapons, fireworks, tobacco products, alcohol, or illegal drugs.
2. Defacement of school property. Fine assessed.
3. Tampering with fire extinguisher or pulling fire alarms. $50 minimum fine.
4. Physical violence.
Searches and seizures related to weapons, fireworks, tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs may occur when there is suspicion of student possession or use. Areas of search include a student’s vehicle, locker, personal effects, and person. An administrator and/or his/her designee will be with the student when a search or seizure occurs. Effort will be made to communicate with the student’s parents. Failure to cooperate is cause for immediate referral to local police and expulsion.
