Disciplinary Guidelines - Types of Discipline - Out-of-School Suspensions

Students who engage in gross misconduct or disobedience may be suspended out of school for a period not to exceed ten (10) school days pending review by the Board of Education or a hearing officer appointed by the Board. Any such suspension shall be reported to the Board of Education, or the appointed hearing officer, and to the parent/guardian of such student along with a full statement of the reason for the suspension. Students may have an opportunity to reduce a first time out of school suspension by participating in community service or a counseling program. This must first be approved by the administration. Students and parents/guardians will be required to provide written documentation from the community service organization or counseling service upon completion of service or program.

• A suspended student may not appear on District #87 property or at any school sponsored activity without administrative approval. The student will be required to make up all work and tests missed, and it is the student's responsibility to make arrangements with teachers for such work.

• Regardless of previous offenses, upon the third suspension during the school year the parents and student may be notified that if the student engages in any further acts of gross misconduct or disobedience, an expulsion from school may be recommended.

• A parent/guardian and student conference will be necessary prior to the suspended student's returning to school.
