3240: Student Conduct

  • 3000: Students
3240: Student Conduct

Adoption Date: Sept. 18, 2012

The board acknowledges that conduct and behavior is closely associated with learning. An effective instructional program requires a safe and orderly school environment. The board requires that each student adhere to the rules of conduct and submit to corrective action taken as a result of conduct violations. The rules of conduct are applicable during the school day as well as during any school activity conducted on or off campus. Special rules are also applicable while riding on a school bus.

Students are expected to:

  1. Conform to reasonable standards of acceptable behavior;
  2. Respect the rights, person and property of others;
  3. Preserve the degree of order necessary for a positive climate for learning; and
  4. Submit to the authority of staff and respond accordingly.

The superintendent will develop written rules of conduct which will carry out the intent of the board.
