JICDD - Student Discipline - Out of School Actions
The Board recognizes that out-of-school and off-campus student conduct is not normally the concern of the Board. However, the Board also recognizes that some out-of-school and off-campus conduct may have an adverse effect upon the school, school property, or school staff.
Therefore, it shall be the policy of this Board that the Board or school administration may impose disciplinary measures against students for some out-of-school or off-campus conduct.
Discipline may be imposed if, in the Principal’s opinion, such out-of-school conduct causes a significant disruption or substantial interference with the school’s educational mission, purpose, or objectives. Additionally, any off-campus or out-of-school behavior that has a strong potential to disrupt normal school operations may also be met with appropriate disciplinary actions by the Board or school administrators.
Out-of-school and off-campus student conduct that may subject a student to discipline includes but is not limited to:
- Damaging school property;
- Violence at or near the school’s bus stop, either before or after the school day;
- Drinking alcohol, using tobacco products, or using illegal drugs at or near The school bus stop, either before or after the school day;
- Damaging the private property of school staff or employees;
Any discipline imposed by virtue of this policy will be in accordance and consistent with the Board’s policy regarding student discipline.
