Students who are being removed from encore classes in elementary or PreK-8 schools, may be removed from that classroom for up to two (2) instructional periods. There will be a simple REI form (Appendix F) supplied to all teachers to be sent with the student, unless the student is escorted to the office by an adult employee who provides the Principal or his/her representative with the necessary information. The form must be submitted electronically within 24 hours where the teacher has access to appropriate technology. If the teacher does not have access to appropriate technology, the teacher is to send to the Principal a hard copy of the completed REI Form by the end of the school day. This form will also be used for the purpose of collecting data regarding the REI process and making data-driven decisions regarding possible improvements to the process. The LMC will conduct a quarterly review of the aggregated data of the REI process. Under no circumstances may a teacher have more than three students removed from his/her class at any one time without the permission of the Principal. The REI shall not be refused. Teachers will be provided training regarding the appropriate use of the REI. The administration is to ensure the due process rights of the student are honored. This includes the due process rights set forth in the Student Code of Conduct and rights guaranteed to students with disabilities under federal and state law. Under no circumstances is the student to be returned to that class before the end of the REI period. In secondary schools, the student shall be sent to the office and the administration shall ensure during that period of the day the student will attend no scheduled class, excluding the Planning Center room, nor be used as an office helper, for the appropriate number of REI days.

However, if the teacher makes a recommendation concerning the consequences, the recommendation shall not be unreasonably refused.
