| The following student code is primarily a statement of the code of conduct, responsibilities and procedural rights. While it relies heavily on Board Policy, it is not a restatement of that policy. For a complete text of the Board Policy on Students, each administrative office of the school corporation has a copy of School Board Policy for review. |
Recognizing that the behavior of some students may be so disruptive that it interferes with school purposes or educational functions of the school corporation, school officials may find it necessary to remove a student from the school. In this event and in accordance with the provisions of I.C. 20-8.1-5.1, the Board of School Trustees authorizes administrators and staff members to take the following actions:
a. REMOVAL FROM CLASS OR ACTIVITY - TEACHER: A middle school teacher or high school teacher will have the right to remove a student from his/her class or activity for a period of up to one (1) school day if the student is assigned regular or additional work to be completed in another school setting.
b. An elementary teacher will have the right to remove a student from his/her classroom or activity for a period of up to one (1) school day if the student is assigned regular or additional work to be completed in another school setting.
c. A staff member with approval of the building principal or his/her designee may remove a student from a school activity, function, event or class that he/she supervises is supervised by a teacher or another staff member.
d. SUSPENSION FROM SCHOOL - PRINCIPAL: A school principal (or designee) may deny a student the right to attend school or take part in any school function for a period of up to five (5) school days.
e. EXPULSION: In accordance with the due process procedures in this handbook, a student may be expelled from school for a period no longer than the remainder of the current semester plus the following semester, with the exception of a violation of Subsection 3 listed under grounds for suspension and/or expulsion in this handbook.
Note: In addition to the foregoing actions, school officials are authorized to take additional disciplinary actions, including but not limited to, counseling, conferencing, rearranging schedules, detention, restriction of activities, removal from transportation and removal from any activity or event in accordance with Indiana Code 20-8.1-5.1-18 and Board Policy. Some of these specific disciplinary alternatives are set forth in this Code in greater detail.
