Section 5-B2503. POLICY FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTIONS

 

2503.1All disciplinary actions shall be effected pursuant to the rules in this Chapter.  Disciplinary actions that do not result in removal from the classroom for more than half a school day may be effected through procedures established by the principal at each school. The principal shall establish such procedures in writing and provide a written copy to students and parents. Procedures shall include a process for appealing such disciplinary responses to the principal.

 

2503.2Principals shall ensure that accurate, appropriate documentation is maintained of all disciplinary actions.

 

2503.3The Chancellor, at his or her discretion, may review and modify any proposed disciplinary action.

 

2503.4Disciplinary responses for all tiers of behavior may be assigned only after consideration of the factors involved in the inappropriate behavior as outlined in § 2500.9, and after consideration of prevention, intervention, and remediation responses as outlined in § 2500.6.

 

2503.4Disciplinary responses for students with disabilities shall be imposed in compliance with § 2510 of these Rules.

 

2503.5Records of all disciplinary actions taken shall be maintained for each student in a student discipline file that is separate from the student’s official record and cumulative file. Disciplinary records are primarily for the use of the school that the student attends. Disciplinary records shall be maintained by the school until the student is promoted to the next educational level, e.g., from Elementary to Secondary.
