Disciplinary Support Sample Clauses
Disciplinary Support. 1. Nothing is more important to the attainment of a good education than regular attendance in class. Cooperation is needed between parents, school personnel and students to ensure that every student attends class. It is the Board's responsibility to promulgate policies, rules and regulations pertaining to student attendance which will encourage students to maintain high levels of school attendance. Excessive tardiness or absenteeism may be deemed sufficient grounds to deny student advancement, promotion, or graduation.
2. Teachers may use such force as is necessary to protect property, themselves, a fellow teacher, district employee or administrator, or a student from attack, physical abuse or injury.
3. Since teachers have responsibility to maintain order and control within the classroom, and general responsibility to maintain proper student behavior on school property, teachers should take necessary action to assist the student to modify inappropriate behavior. Such corrective measures might include, but not be limited to, the following:
a. Teacher-student conference
b. Parent-teacher conference
c. Preferential seating
d. Consultation with other professional staff e. Student detention
Disciplinary Support. 1. The Steubenville Board of Education recognizes that a teacher, in the course of exercising discipline in the performance of duties, may be subjected to unwarranted verbal abuse and/or physical intimidation by a student and/or parent. In the event of such occurrence, the building administrator shall conduct a full review of the incident and make a prompt report to the Superintendent of Schools. Upon finding that such teacher was wrongfully and substantially aggrieved, the Administration will undertake proper and permissible disciplinary steps against the student and/or will seek corrective action from the offending parent. In the event that the aggrieved teacher should elect to file civil misdemeanor charges against the offending student and/or parent, and subject to the Administration concurring in the judgment that the gravity of the offense warrants such civil action, the Administration shall provide support to the teacher as may be reasonably requested.
