5610.02 - IN-SCHOOL DISCIPLINE

It is the purpose of this policy to provide an alternative to out-of-school suspension. The availability of in-school discipline options is dependent upon the financial ability of the Board to support such a program.

In-school discipline will only be offered at the discretion of the School Principal for offenses found in the Student Responsibilities Handbook. 

No student is to be detained after the close of the regular school day unless the student's parent has been contacted and informed that the student will be detained. No student shall be refused transportation services until the parent has been notified and other suitable transportation arrangements have been made. Notification to the parent is the responsibility of District personnel and should be made prior to the departure of school buses. If a parent cannot be contacted, the child should be detained on another day.

The Superintendent is to establish guidelines for the proper operation of such programs and provide for appropriate due-process procedures to be followed as applicable.
