JCSD Policy

The Board authorizes student suspension for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Violation of Board policies, administrative regulations or school rules;

2. Conduct which materially and substantially disrupts the rights of others to an education;

3. Conduct which endangers the student, other students or staff members;

4. Conduct which endangers district property.

Each suspension will include a statement of the reasons for suspension, the length of the suspension and a plan for readmission. No suspension shall extend beyond 10 school days. The district may require a student to attend school during nonschool hours as an alternative to suspension. Every reasonable and prompt effort must be made to notify the parents of suspended students.

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.
