Code of Discipline

Procedures, Consequences and Disciplinary Codes
....

Discipline is most effective when it deals directly with the problem at the time and place it occurs and in a fair and impartial manner.

Disciplinary action, when necessary, will be firm, fair and consistent in an effective manner to positively modify student behavior.  In determining the appropriate disciplinary action, school personnel authorized to impose disciplinary penalties will consider the following:

  • The student's age.
  • The nature of the offense and the circumstances that led to the offense.
  • The student's prior disciplinary record.
  • The appropriateness of other forms of discipline.
  • Information from parents, teachers, staff and/or others, as appropriate.
  • Intent, mitigating factors or other extenuating circumstances.

Discipline will be progressive, meaning that a student's first violation will usually merit a lighter penalty than subsequent violations.  School personnel may impose a more severe penalty for a first violation depending on the specific facts and circumstances of the incident.
