Code: JFC
Adopted: 9/25/06
Student Conduct
The Board expects student conduct to contribute to a productive learning climate. Students shall comply with the district’s written rules, pursue the prescribed course of study, submit to the lawful authority of district staff and conduct themselves in an orderly manner at school during the school day or during school-sponsored activities.
Careful attention shall be given to procedures and methods promoting fairness and consistency in discipline. The objectives of disciplining any student must be to help the student develop a positive attitude toward self-discipline, realize the responsibility of one’s actions and maintain a productive learning climate. All staff members have responsibility for consistency in establishing and maintaining an appropriate behavioral atmosphere.
A student code of conduct, developed under the leadership of the district administration, and in cooperation with staff, will be made available and distributed to parents and students outlining student conduct expectations and possible disciplinary actions, including consequences for disorderly conduct, as required by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLBA). In addition, each school may publish a student/parent handbook detailing additional rules specific to that school.
Students in violation of Board policy, administrative regulation and/or code of conduct provisions will be subject to discipline up to and including expulsion. Students may be denied participation in extracurricular activities. Titles and/or privileges available to or granted to students may also be denied and/or revoked (e.g., valedictorian, salutatorian, student body, class or club office positions, senior trip, prom, etc.). A referral to law enforcement may also be made.
The district will annually record and report expulsion data for conduct violations as required by the Oregon Department of Education.
