Policy JICDA Code of Conduct Issued 3/15
Purpose: To establish the basic structure for a code of conduct and discipline for students.
The district's code of conduct and discipline is established to achieve and maintain order in the schools. In administrative rule JICDA-R, the board and the administration offer a list of offenses along with the required or recommended dispositions for the information of students, parents/legal guardians and school personnel.
Disciplinary actions will include appropriate hearings and review. The removal of a student from the learning environment will occur only for just cause and in accordance with due process of law. The administration will consider extenuating circumstances when taking disciplinary action.
The administrative rule is effective during the following times and in the following places.
on the school grounds during and immediately before or immediately after school hours
on the school grounds at any other time when the school is being used by a school group
off the school grounds at a school activity, function or event

Clover High School expects all students to observe rules of good behavior. These rules are consistent with school board policies. It is impossible for the school to anticipate every possible situation regarding school discipline. Therefore, the school reserves the right to adopt, adjust or create consequences, within the guidelines of school board policy, as necessary to handle discipline situations. Examples of adjusted consequences may include imposing modified in-school suspension, shortening, lengthening, combining consequences, imposing work details, or adjusting for students with disabilities. The school reserves the right to add, delete, or modify rules when necessary during the course of a school year.
NOTE: Each member of the staff of Clover School District Number Two has the authority and responsibility to correct any student at any time and at any and all school functions.
