Common use of Student Suspension Clause in Contracts

Student Suspension. The judicial extension of Fourteenth Amendment protection to students in the public school emphasizes the need for school administrators to protect the procedural due process rights of students in discipline cases. The policy of the School District must be consistent with the due process rights of students and must provide proper machinery for fair and consistent treatment of students. The term "out-of-school suspension" refers to removal out of school for a period not to exceed one calendar year for offenses involving firearms and the remainder of a current semester and the succeeding semester for all other offenses. ALTERNATIVE IN-SCHOOL PLACEMENT, DETENTION, AND SIMILAR DISCIPLINARY OPTIONS OR CORRECTIONAL MEASURES ARE NOT CONSIDERED BY LAW TO BE OUT-OF-SCHOOL SUSPENSION AND DO NOT REQUIRE OR INVOLVE THE DUE PROCESS PROCEDURES SET FORTH WITHIN THIS POLICY.
