C350 - Student Discipline
Posted on 02/21/2022

The School Board acknowledges that conduct is closely related to learning and that an effective instructional program requires an orderly school environment, which is, in part, reflected in the behavior of students.

The Board requires each student of this Corporation to adhere to the Code of Conduct promulgated by the administration and to submit to such disciplinary measures as are appropriately assigned for infraction of those rules. 


The Superintendent will designate sanctions for the infractions of rules, excluding corporal punishment, which:

 

A.

relate in kind and degree to the infraction;

 

B.

help the student learn to take responsibility for his/her actions;

 

C.

are directed, where possible, to reduce the effects of any harm which may have been caused by the student's misconduct.

The Superintendent shall publish to all students and their parents the rules of this Corporation regarding student conduct, the sanctions which may be imposed for breach of those rules, and the due-process procedures that will be followed in administering the Code of Conduct. Teachers and other employees of this Board having authority over students shall have the authority to take any action that is reasonably necessary to carry out or prevent an interference with an educational function. 

All discipline imposed shall be in accordance with federal and Indiana statute and regulations.
