Additional Causes for Disciplinary Action
ADDITIONAL CAUSES FOR DISCIPLINARY ACTION
The Education Code specified violations, which may result in suspension. In addition it is the school’s obligation to refer violations of existing criminal or civil laws to the appropriate authority. Some of the offenses, which involve only school rules, may call for disciplinary action other than suspension, expulsion, or referral to law enforcement authorities.
OTHER DISCIPLINARY AND PROTECTIVE MEASURES
DETENTION: Students may be detained for disciplinary or other reasons up to one (1) hour after the close of the maximum school day.
IN-HOUSE SUSPENSION: Students may be assigned to school-site suspension depending on the severity and nature of the violation and as determined by the school administration.
EXPULSION: The removal from enrollment in all schools of the district as ordered by governing board. The board may order expulsion when other means of correction have repeatedly failed to result in acceptable conduct or if the continued presence of the student causes danger to the safety of others. Pupils may be expelled only for those reasons for which they also may be suspended. State law provides for full due process and rights to appeal any order of expulsion.
SEARCH AND SEIZURE: In order to maintain safe school environments, students and their property, in addition to their locker and vehicle in the Student Parking Lot, may be searched by school officials when there is a reasonable suspicion that the search will uncover items which violate the law or the rules of the district. School officials may enlist the assistance of law enforcement (including search dogs) whenever deemed necessary. The Board believes that the use of metal detectors offers a reasonable means to deter students from bringing weapons to school and will be utilized at various times throughout the school year.
