Common use of Student Grades and Discipline Clause in Contracts

Student Grades and Discipline. When the substitute teacher is responsible for grading, and issues student grades in accordance with District policies, a supervisor shall not change them unless a substantive reason exists. This provision shall not be interpreted to allow a substitute to assign grades in any manner which deviates from general district-wide practices. A substitute teacher shall have the same rights in administering student discipline and student health procedures as the teacher for whom they are substituting. The building discipline plan shall be included in the substitute building folder at each site and such plan shall conform with District policies and regulations. 1. An allegation that a student has committed assault or battery upon a unit member shall result in the removal of the student from the responsibility of the unit member pending administrative investigation of the incident. The administrator shall exercise appropriate progressive discipline. If the investigation shows battery did occur and the unit member so recommends, the student will not be returned to the affected member's responsibility. 2. Any student making a serious or menacing threat of harm to the person, property or family members of a substitute teacher shall be immediately subject to appropriate discipline in accordance with the Students' Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. 3. Student behavioral records shall be accessible to the receiving unit member. School officials will set up procedures so that information about students with records of violence including weapon violations will be available, in accordance with the law, to members who "need to know" as a result of an assignment to teach or supervise the student. 4. Any student found to have committed assault or battery upon a unit member shall be immediately subject to appropriate discipline in accordance with the Students' Rights and Responsibilities Handbook. However, there shall be a minimum of five (5) days suspension for a threat (assault) and mandatory expulsion for the remainder of the year for battery. The Superintendent may modify the disciplinary consequences on a case- by-case basis.
