5610.02 - IN-SCHOOL DISCIPLINE

In-school restriction, Saturday school, and detention are progressive discipline options that the principal may use to improve attendance and/or to modify student behavior and to monitor the student's behavior during the disciplinary process. (see Form 5610.02 F1)

Students who have violated the Code of Conduct/Student Discipline Code may be assigned to in-school restriction, Saturday school, and detention by the principal.

Detention

	A.	Lunch-Time Detention
		The principal (or faculty member) may designate an area in which the student must remain during the lunch period. Failure to report to or remain in the area may lead to in-school restriction, Saturday school, or out-of-school suspension.
	B.	After-School Detention
		The principal (or faculty member) may require a student to remain after school providing the parents have been given at least one (1) day's notice and have agreed to be responsible for their child's transportation at the end of the detention period. If the student is a bus rider and the principal can not verify that the parents agree to be responsible for the student's transportation, after-school detention should not be used or should be delayed until verification is received. The student is to be given definite assignments or duties to complete during the detention period. Failure to report for or to complete the detention may result in:

		1.	an in-school restriction;
		2.	assignment to Saturday school;
		3.	an out-of-school suspension.

	C.	Early Arrival Detention
		The principal (or faculty member) may require a student to come to school early providing the parent(s) have been given at least one (1) day’s notice and have agreed to be responsible for their child’s transportation to school before the detention period. The student is to be given definite assignments or duties to complete during the detention period. Failure to report for or to complete the detention may result in:

		1.	an in-school restriction;
		2.	assignment to Saturday school;
		3.	an out-of-school suspension.

In-School Restriction/Saturday School

Assignment to in-school restriction means that the student is removed from the classroom but not from the educational program. S/He will report to the assigned location where the student will work on classroom tasks assigned by the teacher(s) all of which are related to a course of study in which the student is currently enrolled. When completed, the assignments are to be turned in to the teacher(s) for review and grading. Thus, the student continues his/her academic program albeit in a different setting and receives full credit for the completed work.

In-School Restriction

As a means for keeping a student in school rather than suspending him/her the District has established an in-school restriction program. The student is not only removed from the classroom and assigned to a designated work area, s/he is also denied participation in any school activity for the length of the suspension. The teacher(s) is to assign work related to a course of study for which the student will receive full credit.
