Student Discipline

Students are required to conduct themselves in a manner that is in the best interest of the school. Students may not disrupt class or become involved in substantial disruptions or invade the rights of others.When a problem arises:

1. Most discipline problems can be resolved by the teacher, student and parent in a calm and reasonable manner. However, in cases where the student’s behavior affects the safety or learning opportunities of other students, additional disciplinary action must be taken.
2. In such cases, the administration is authorized to take necessary disciplinary action in compliance with the policies of Richland School District Two and local law enforcement agencies.
3. Open channels of communication have been established within the district that permit students and parents to express complaints and offer suggestions for revision of rules.
4. Since most disciplinary problems are of a nonrecurring nature, teachers and administrators have several options for solving behavioral problems within the school.
