Referral of severe cases. TAAAC agrees that the motivation of students toward worthwhile learning activities helps significantly in preventing disciplinary problems. The teacher, therefore, shall exercise professional competence toward such motivation and thereby assume responsibility toward the establishment of effective discipline for the student and an atmosphere conducive to learning and disciplinary control in the classroom. A student who refuses to obey a reasonable request of a teacher may be excluded from class and shall be retained in the office for the remainder of the instructional period. A serious disciplinary infraction or disruption by a student whom the teacher can no longer control shall be referred to the principal or to another staff member designated by the principal to deal with such a case. Both the teacher and the school administrator shall be involved in the final resolution of such problems. A pupil whose needs cannot be met by the school shall be referred immediately to the Department of Pupil Personnel for prompt action. The principal, with the advice of the Faculty Advisory Council, shall review periodically the handling of discipline in the school to assure that this policy is being effectively implemented by teachers and administrators.
