Code: JGD
Amity School District 4J
Adopted: 8/24/88 Revised/Readopted: 12/13/95, 1/13/16
Suspension
The Board authorizes student suspension for one or more of the following reasons:
- Willful violation of school regulations;
- Willful conduct which materially and substantially disrupts the rights of others to an education;
- Willful conduct which endangers the student, other students or staff members;
- Willful conduct which damages or injures school property.
Students and parents are given notice of possible discipline actions resulting from student misconduct that may result in suspension in the Student/Parent Handbook made available by the district.
Each suspension will include a statement of the reasons for suspension, the length of the suspension and a plan for readmission and may include a plan for the student to make up school work. No suspension shall extend beyond ten school days. The district may require a student to attend school during non-school hours as an alternative to suspension. Every reasonable and prompt effort must be made to notify the parents of suspended students.
In emergency situations that are a result of risk to health and safety, the district may postpone the suspension notice process above until the emergency condition has passed.
Students who are suspended may not attend after-school activities and athletic events, be present on district property without a parent, or participate in activities directed or sponsored by the district.
Suspensions may be appealed to the Board.
