1.15 Organizational Chart (revised) 6.18 Student Discipline (revised)



6.18 Student Discipline (revised)

STUDENT DISCIPLINE (Expulsion, Suspension, Emergency Removal, Permanent Exclusion, and

Alternative Discipline) During the time of suspension, expulsion, or removal, the student (if he/she is eighteen (18) years of age or older) and/or the parents, guardians, or custodian are responsible for the conduct of the individual. While suspended, expelled, or removed from school, students are not permitted to attend or participate in curricular or extracurricular activities, or be on school property for any reason unless a prior appointment has been made with school officials. If a student is removed only from a particular class or activity, the student may not attend the class or participate in the activity for the duration of the removal. A suspension or expulsion shall result in the student’s total removal from the education program. Credit may shall be given for work missed, and eventually completed, due to out-of-school suspension without a point reduction stemming from the suspension. For an in-school suspension restriction, credit will be given for all assessments and classroom assignments that can be completed during the in-school suspension restriction or as homework if the student collects the assignments. Teachers, school bus drivers, and other employees of this Board having authority over students may take such action as may be necessary to control the disorderly conduct of students in all situations and in all places where such students are within the jurisdiction of this Board and when such conduct interferes with the educational program of the schools or threatens the health and safety of others. Discipline on Board vehicles shall be the responsibility of the driver on regular bus runs. When Board vehicles are used for field trips and other Board activities, the teacher, coach, advisor, or other Board employee shall be responsible for student discipline. A student who is suspended or expelled from the Joint Vocational School District is also to be regarded as suspended or expelled from the School District. The District may deny credit for post-secondary courses, any portion of which were taken during the period of an expulsion imposed by the Superintendent or Board. A. Definitions

1. Suspension is defined as the denial to a student for a period of at least one (1) but not more than ten (10) school days of permission to attend school and to take part in any school function.

2. Expulsion is defined as the denial to a student of permission to attend

school and to take part in any school function, for a period exceeding ten (10) school days but not exceeding the greater of eighty (80) school days, or one (1) year in certain circumstances, or the number of school days remaining in the semester or term in which the incident that gives rise to the expulsion takes place, unless the expulsion is extended pursuant to O.R.C. §3313.66(F).

3. Emergency Removal is defined as the denial to a student whose presence

poses a continuing danger to persons or property or an ongoing threat of disrupting the academic process taking place either within a classroom or elsewhere on the school premises.

4. Disciplinary Removal is an action less severe than suspension, expulsion,

or emergency removal and defined as the denial to a student of permission to attend the classes in which he/she is enrolled, or participate in an extracurricular activity in which he/she has been involved, for a period of less than one (1) school day.

5. Permanent Exclusion means the prohibition of an pupil forever from

attending any public school in this state that is operated by a city, local, exempted village, or joint vocational school district.

L. In-School/After School Restriction/Saturday School/Detention In-school/after school restriction, in-school suspension, Saturday school,

1. Lunch Time Detention

The principal (or faculty member) may designate an area in which the

student must remain during the lunch period. Students are to have an opportunity to eat their lunch. Failure to report for or to complete the detention may result in an in-school restriction, Saturday school restriction, or an out-of-school suspension.

2. Before and After School Detention

The principal (or faculty member) may require a student to serve a

detention before school or after school provided the parents have been given at least one (1) day’s notice and have agreed to be responsible for the child’s transportation either to or from school. If the student is a bus rider and the principal cannot verify that the parents agree to be responsible for the student’s transportation before or after school, detention should not be used or should be delayed until verification is received. Failure to report for or to complete the detention may result in additional school discipline up to and including out-of-school suspension.

3. In-School/After School Restriction/Saturday School

The Saturday school will be in session from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

12:00 noon. Attendance is to be taken from the attendance sheet and recorded by the

supervising personnel. Any discrepancy noted should be promptly reported to the administrative personnel.

A student missing any portion of his/her assigned time in Restriction or

Saturday school may be subject to additional school discipline up to and including out-of-school suspension.

The rules and procedures regarding participation are to be published in the

student handbooks. Rules should include but not necessarily be limited to the following:

1. Students are to have sufficient learning activities and materials for the

period of their restriction or Saturday school.

2. Students are not to communicate with each other unless given special permission to do so.

3. Students are to remain in their designated seats at all times unless
