Common use of Disciplinary Response Clause in Contracts

Disciplinary Response. Out-of-school suspension: 6 days (minimum) - 10 days (maximum) and/or notification to civil authorities, parent conference, and/or recommendation to the Board of Education for expulsion. The School Board approved Discipline Policy will be presented and explained thoroughly to the student body at the beginning of each school year by the proper administrative authority. A copy of this Discipline Policy will be made accessible to all parties concerned. It must be agreed that the School Board, Administration, Teachers, and others Involved follow the prescribed guidelines of this policy. Consistency is the key factor. It must be adhered to by all involved. Serious violations of established policy on a lower level may require a higher level disciplinary response, however, a higher level disciplinary response cannot be used for a minor infraction. In doing so, we will have an effective policy which will be beneficial to the Greater Nanticoke Area School District. The provisions of this policy apply to all students except to the extent that a provision is inconsistent with either 22 PA Code Chapter 14 or 342. The provisions of those chapters of the Pennsylvania State Law take precedence over District Policy in those cases where policy and the Code contain inconsistent provisions. One of the sanctions for misbehavior is withdrawal of permission to participate in field trips. The student will remain in the care and custody of the parent(s)/school that day. Another sanction of misbehavior is the exclusion from attendance and/or participation in special programs. * Any student in a position of Level IV Disciplinary Response will not be allowed to participate in any grade level extra-curricular project or activity. ** All disciplinary actions involving drugs and/or alcohol will follow the Drug and Alcohol Policy Guidelines.
