TITLE: 307.02.02 Procedures to be Followed in Cases of Suspension

In-school or out-of-school suspension may be assigned at the discretion of the principal for chronic misbehavior or when the actions of a student are deemed a serious violation of the school discipline code. Written notification will be sent to parents and student indicating the reason for suspension. It will include the length of time of the suspension. When a student’s behavior constitutes a threat, physically endangers himself/herself or others, or causes serious disruption to instruction, he/she may be removed immediately, with due process requirements being fulfilled as soon as practical. Students who are suspended for violations of the discipline code may not be permitted to return to school until a joint conference with the teacher, parents and principal has taken place. Work will be provided for the student. Credit will be given for work that is completed during the suspension if the work meets the standards set by the teacher and is completed on time. The pastor will be notified of all suspensions.

During the time of an in-school or out-of-school suspension, a student is ineligible to participate in any and all school activities such as sports, choir or field trips. It is the responsibility of the parent/s to notify coaches, choir directors, scoutmaster, etcetera of suspensions. Failure to do so will result in further disciplinary action.
