5610.02 - IN-SCHOOL DISCIPLINE

In-school suspension and detention are progressive discipline options that the principal may use to improve attendance and/or to modify student behavior and to monitor the student's behavior during the disciplinary process.

Students who have violated any section of the Code of Conduct may be assigned to in-school suspension or detention by the principal.

Students who violate the drug abuse section of the Code of Conduct may be assigned to in-school suspension in total or in part, if they agree to participate in a voluntary alcohol/drug education program approved by the principal.

Detention

  1. Lunch-Time Detention

    The principal (or faculty member) may designate an area in which the student must remain during the lunch period. Failure to report to or remain in the area may lead to in-school restriction, Saturday school, or out-of-school suspension.
  2. After-School Detention or Early Arrival

    The principal (or faculty member) may require a student to remain after school providing the parents have been given at least one (1) day's notice and have agreed to be responsible for their child's transportation at the end of the detention period. If the student is a bus rider and the principal cannot verify that the parents agree to be responsible for the student's transportation, after-school detention should not be used. The principal shall also ensure that there is adequate supervision of the student until such time as transportation arrives. The student is to be given definite assignments or duties to complete during the detention period.

In-School Suspension

As a means for keeping a student in school rather than suspending him/her to a probable, unsupervised out-of-school situation, the District has established an in-school suspension program. The student is not only removed from the classroom and assigned to a designated work area, s/he is also denied participation in any school activity for the length of the suspension. The same due process provided for out-of-school suspension shall apply.

The teacher(s) is to assign work related to a course of study for which the student will receive full credit.
