Student Code of Conduct
Student Conduct
The School District is committed to programs that will encourage the development of citizens who have self respect and respect for others, who comply with existing laws and who accept their corresponding rights and responsibilities.
The District will develop and maintain a Uniform Code of Student Conduct which sets forth rights and responsibilities, as well as the rules and regulations to which all students are subject. The Uniform Code of Student Conduct will formulate clear expectations for individual students and student groups and will specify the processes to provide and regulate student rights and responsibilities.
The rules and regulations described in the Uniform Code of Student Conduct will not limit the authority of school personnel to deal appropriately with types of conduct not specifically described in the Code. The principal or designee in each building will treat conduct violations not specifically covered in the Code uniformly and fairly.
In order to assure that procedures used by the School District to deal with student conduct and discipline are current, procedures will be established by the administration for periodic review of all disciplinary and conduct rules and regulations.
