Disciplinary Guidelines - Types of Discipline - Conditional Probation

Students who are determined by the Administration to have engaged in gross misconduct or disobedience warranting a recommendation for expulsion from school may, at the Administration's discretion, be offered conditional probation as an alternative to expulsion.

  • Whether or not conditional probation is offered by the Administration depends upon the student's academic record, past disciplinary record, school attendance, and attitude toward corrective conduct.

  • If conditional probation is to be recommended, it shall be reviewed and approved in advance by the Superintendent or his/her designee.

  • To become effective, conditional probation must be offered by the principal or his/her designee and accepted in writing by the parent/guardian and the student following an explanation of the conditional probation program.

  • Conditional probation shall be granted only when the student and parent/guardian:

  • Acknowledge and agree that the student had engaged in gross misconduct or disobedience warranting expulsion;

  • Agree to waive the right to any hearing before the Board prior to being place on conditional probation;

  • Agree to sign a Conditional Probation Agreement which sets the terms and conditions of the probation; and

  • Agree that any violation of the terms or conditions of the probation agreement shall result in revocation of the probation and subsequent expulsion from school.

  • A copy of the completed conditional probation agreement shall be sent to the Superintendent for distribution to members of the Board of Education.

  • Should it become necessary to revoke the conditional probation because of a violation of the written agreement, the student will be offered the right to a hearing before the Board, or a hearing officer appointed by the Board, to determine if the probation agreement was violated.

  • If probation is violated, the Board may expel the student on the basis of the original act(s) committed as specified and admitted to in the conditional probation agreement. No notice or hearing shall be given the student and the Board may act only on the original offense(s) and the student's admission of those offense(s).
