Policy for Addressing Disciplinary Actions

The Policy for Addressing Disciplinary Actions outlines the school’s approach to managing student behavior and addressing violations of school rules and policies. The policy may cover topics such as the types of disciplinary actions that may be taken, such as verbal warnings, detention, suspension, or expulsion, and the criteria and process for determining the appropriate level of response. It may also address issues related to due process, appeal procedures, and alternative disciplinary strategies, such as restorative justice or positive behavior interventions and supports. The policy may include information about the school’s efforts to promote a fair, consistent, and equitable approach to discipline, to address the root causes of behavior problems, and to provide support and resources to students who struggle with behavior. The purpose of the Policy for Addressing Disciplinary Actions is to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment, to promote positive behavior and personal responsibility, and to ensure that disciplinary actions are used as a last resort and in a manner that is appropriate and proportionate to the offense.
