Consequences determined according to District Policy
This code defines prohibited conduct. The conduct is prohibited if it occurs on school property, while using School District approved transportation, during participation in or attendance at a school-related activity anywhere, while traveling to and from school or school-related activities, at any time or place if the conduct has an adverse impact on the school community, or while the student is otherwise under the school jurisdiction. For transfer students, if sanctions imposed by a prior school are deemed insufficient or if additional steps are appropriate for protection of the safety of the school community, disciplinary steps including expulsion may be implemented based on conduct that occurred while the student was enrolled at a prior school.
This code provides guidelines to students, school employees, and administrators, but will not under any circumstances be considered a limitation on the authority of school employees, administrators, or the school board to define misconduct and determine the appropriate punishment for any particular misconduct. The misconduct listed under each level shall not be considered exclusive, but merely provides examples of misconduct that may be considered under the specified level. Depending on the circumstances, misconduct listed under a particular level may be treated as a higher-level offense, and a student may be subject to suspension or expulsion for a single incident or for misconduct not specifically listed under Level II or Level III. The penalties set forth should be considered minimum penalties for designated offenses.
