5600 - STUDENT DISCIPLINE
The Board of Directors acknowledges that conduct is closely related to learning - an effective instructional program requires an orderly Council environment and the effectiveness of the Council is, in part, reflected in the behavior of students.
The Board believes that the best discipline is self-imposed and that students should learn to assume responsibility for their own behavior and the consequences of their actions. The Board has zero tolerance of violent, disruptive or inappropriate behavior by its students.
The Executive Director shall promulgate administrative guidelines for student conduct which carry out the purposes of this policy and:
| A. | conform to reasonable standards of socially-acceptable behavior; | |
| B. | respect the person and property of others; | |
| C. | preserve the degree of order necessary to the educational program in which they are engaged; | |
| D. | respect the rights of others; | |
| E. | obey constituted and respond to those who hold that authority. |
The Student Code of Conduct/Student Discipline Code designates sanctions for the infractions of rules, excluding corporal punishment, which shall:
| A. | relate in kind and degree to the infraction; | |
| B. | help the student learn to take responsibility for his/her actions; | |
| C. | be directed, where possible, to reduce the effects of any harm which may have been caused by the student's misconduct. |
Teachers and other employees of this Council having authority over students shall have the authority to take such means 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.
