  A student may receive an out-of-school suspension for committing an offense or other severe disruption of the education process. For the duration of the out-of-school suspension, a studentis excluded with parent knowledge and is not allowed to attend classes, extracurricular activities, school functions, or be on the school premises. The number of suspended days is equal to the number of days allowed to make up class work and homework missed. During the first suspension students will be allowed to make arrangements with the teacher to make uptest/quizzes. If a student is suspended for 6 or more days in a school year, parents will be notified to meet with the Principal, Teachers, and the student present. "Discipline Plan" will be implemented at that point for the remainder of the school year. If the "Discipline Plan" is not followed through, this will be grounds for long-term suspension and/or expulsion.
  No code may be expected to list each and every offense, which may result in the use of disciplinary proceedings regarding a student. The above infractions, violations, penalties and procedures shall serveas a guide. However, this does not preclude the discretionary authority of an administrator to impose further penalties after consideration of the students' overall disciplinary record and the severity of the infraction. Likewise, flexibility will be used with regard to the developmental level of kindergarten through second grade students who may not understand the seriousness of some behaviors.
