In addition to the above list of Student Code of Conduct violations, the Campus Director has the authority to suspend a student for up to five days for any of the following additional reasons:
- the need to further investigate an incident,
- a recommendation to expel the student, or
- an emergency constituting endangerment to health or safety.
Prerequisites to Suspension
Prior to suspending a student, the Campus Director must attempt to hold an informal conference with the student to:
- notify the student of the accusations against him or her,
- allow the student to relate his or her version of the incident, and
- determine whether the student’s conduct warrants suspension.
Notification to Parents
If the Campus Director determines the student’s conduct warrants suspension during the school day, the Campus Director will make reasonable effort to notify the student’s parents that the student has been suspended before the student is sent home. The Campus Director will notify a suspended student’s parents of the period of suspension, the grounds for the suspension, and the time and place for an opportunity to confer with the Campus Director.
Credit during Suspension
A student shall receive credit for work missed during the period of suspension if the student makes up work missed during the period of suspension within the same number of school days the student was absent on suspension.
