Code: JGD
Adopted: 3/09/04
Revised/Readopted: 08/08/17
Orig. Code(s): JGD

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

1. Willful violation of Northwest Regional Education Service District (NWRESD) policies, administrative regulations or rules; 

2. Willful conduct which materially and substantially disrupts the rights of others to pursue an education; 

3. Willful conduct which endangers the student, other students or staff; 

4. Willful conduct which damages or injures NWRESD property. 

Students and parents are given notice of possible discipline actions resulting from student misconduct that may result in suspension in the code of conduct made available by the NWRESD. 

Each suspension will include a statement of the reasons for suspension, the length of the suspension and a plan for readmission and may include a plan for the student to make up school work. No suspension shall extend beyond 10 school days. The NWRESD 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. 

In emergency situations that are a result of risk to health and safety, the NWRESD may postpone the suspension notice process above until the emergency condition has passed. 

Students who are suspended may not attend after-school activities and other events, be present on NWRESD property without a parent/legal guardian, or participate in activities directed or sponsored by the NWRESD. 

Suspensions may be appealed to the Board.
