NOTE: When district school board action on a recommendation for the expulsion of a student is pending, the district school superintendent may extend the suspension assigned by the principal beyond 10 school days if such suspension period expires before the next regular or special meetings of the district school board. School disciplinary action is not contingent on the school police or other law enforcement agency and can be implemented while waiting for a response. It is the Principal’s/Designees responsibility to determine the Code of Conduct infraction within the matrix only.

Important Note: If the student has an IEP/504 Plan, the administrator or designee MUST refer to the Discipline Guidelines for Students with Disabilities and the student’s current IEP/504 Plan PRIOR to the assignment of any disciplinary action. The length of time the student with an IEP/504 Plan is suspended (ISSP/OSS) is subject to the Discipline Guidelines for Students with Disabilities. A maximum of three (3) days can be assigned at one time. Refer to Note XIII and/or the Discipline Guidelines for Students with Disabilities regarding requirements for when to schedule a manifestation determination meeting.

*Infractions marked with an asterisk will require immediate police notification and possible arrest, as determined by law enforcement.
