CLASS II BEHAVIORS

CLASS II BEHAVIORS

The teacher shall notify the parent(s) or guardian(s) of a student who consistently violates Class I behaviors or work habits.  If teacher interventions fail to result in improvement of student behavior or work habits, the student may be referred to the principal/designee.  Upon such referral the behavior will be considered a Class II violation.

 

Appropriate disciplinary actions for a Class II include but are not limited to:  Student-principal conference; time-out/isolation; written assignments; detention; loss of classroom, playground, co-curricular, or extra-curricular activity privileges, restoration of facilities to original condition; parent-principal telephone conference; parent-principal personal conference; suspension of bus transportation; corporal punishment according to Parish policy; suspension from school for one to three days; filing of charges with an appropriate law enforcement agency; requesting further action from the Child Welfare and Attendance Department with suspension pending action; and any other action the principal and the school discipline committee deem appropriate.
