XXXXXXXXXX STATE STATUTES AND STATE BOARD REGULATIONS. School staff shall maintain good order and discipline at school so as to provide an optimum learning atmosphere. Staff is empowered to hold students to a strict accountability for disorderly or anti-social conduct. Staff may counsel, conference, and/or detain students for reasons of resolving excessive misconduct. Pursuant to WAC Chapter 392-400, teachers can remove a student from class for behaviors that disrupt the learning process after they have attempted to help the student meet behavioral expectations. Exclusion from the classroom or school is viewed as a last resort, but can become necessary when the student’s behavior is a danger to others or a threat to the learning process. Our staff strives to use positive behavior supports and regularly engage in professional development and best practices in preventative measures, love and logic principles, and positive interventions.
