Section 2: The adjustment of major behavioral problems is the joint responsibility of teachers and administrators.

In each case, the administrators shall give the teacher effective and consistent support. When a student is excluded from class, as per the above paragraph, the teacher shall notify the principal in writing the reasons for such exclusion. Before said student may be readmitted to class, the principal may summon the parents or guardian, if deemed necessary, for a conference with the teacher and principal regarding the student’s behavior problems. Any punitive action will be in accordance with Section 10-22.6 of the Illinois School Code.
