Note: A teacher may choose to handle the academic honesty infraction himself or herself or refer it in written form to the administrative office. If referred, however, the infraction becomes a permanent part of the student's disciplinary record and appropriate discipline will be enforced. Teachers and administrators reserve the right to respond to the wrong doing with punitive action of varying severity including temporary suspension or permanent removal of the student from the class, school, or special program depending on the nature of the infraction and the number of previous infractions.
