Community School Discipline Policy 

 (Effective 1/26/07)

The following lists provide examples of offenses and their consequences.  They apply to on-campus, off-campus/school-related, and, in the case of Level Three offenses, off-campus/non-school related offenses.  The lists are not necessarily all-inclusive and, therefore, teachers and the director are not limited in application because an item was not on the list.  A student whose general attitude and conduct demonstrates an unwillingness to follow the principles that govern the school, as determined by school officials, may be dismissed from the Community.
