Intervention Team. Any student may be referred to the Intervention Team for a violation of the Contract, Education Code, District Policy, or for continuing defiance of classroom and/or school wide rules. This process begins when a student is sent to the office with or without a referral indicating a violation of the Contract. Initially, a student is given the opportunity to share their accounting of what occurred to prompt being sent to the office. Upon investigation of the incident, if the allegation against the student is confirmed, then disciplinary action is taken. If a decision is made to refer a student to the Intervention Team, the following has occurred or will occur prior to the Intervention Team meeting date: ● Written Student Statement of the Incident ● Investigation of Incident ● Review of Facts and Discussion with Student ● Review of Contract Violations and Requirements with Student ● Student is placed on probation pending Intervention Team meeting ● Parent/Guardian Notification The Intervention Team is comprised of teachers, administrators, and support staff. The Intervention Team meets frequently to review referrals from students who have violated their Contract. By recommendation of the Intervention Team, students who have not met their Contract obligations may be placed on one of four probationary Levels, ranging from Level 1 to Level 4. If a student is placed on a probationary Level, the following will occur: ● Student Notification of Probationary Level Placement ● Parent/Guardian Notification of Probationary Level Placement by mail, phone and/or home visit. ● Restriction from all extra-curricular activities or functions for the duration of the Probation (including, but not limited to, dances, skating parties, sports team participation, going to view games, special after-school events, non-instructional time field trips, lunch activities, 8th grade activities, cheerleading, etc.) In addition to a placement of Probation, any student who commits a major violation of Education Code 48900, may receive an at home suspension, on campus suspension, or a citation by School Police. For the most serious offenses, students may be recommended for Expulsion from the San Bernardino City Unified School District.
