STATEMENTS:
Principals, as part of their investigation, shall make all reasonable efforts to speak with the student and with the student’s parent or guardian (unless the student is at least 18 years old, or is 16 or 17 years old and has withdrawn from parental control) prior to making a decision regarding long-term suspension or recommendation for expulsion, of that student. However, the authority and decision to discipline is that of the Principal (for suspension) or that of the Board (for expulsion), depending upon the circumstances.
A copy of the Board’s Suspension Guideline, Suspension Appeal Guideline, Expulsion Guideline, Expulsion Rules, Suspension Investigation Guideline and Expulsion Investigation Guideline, will be made available upon request to the Family of Schools’ Superintendent.
