AF Amistad High School Family Handbook 2017-2018 | 51 Disciplinary Offenses We care about our scholars’ safety and conduct not simply when they are in school – but at all times, including when they are traveling to and from school or school activities. Therefore, a disciplinary offense is a violation of the school’s Code of Conduct if it occurs while the scholar is at school and/or on school grounds; is participating in a school-sponsored activity; is walking to or from school or a school-sponsored event; is walking to or from, waiting for, or riding on school-provided transportation; or is walking to or from, waiting for, or riding on public transportation to and from school or a school-sponsored activity. School-related disciplinary offenses may also include serious misconduct outside the school where evidence exists that the scholar’s conduct had a significant impact on the educational environment and/or continued presence as a result of such conduct would have a substantial detrimental effect on the school, including the safety of the scholar, other scholars, or staff members. Disciplinary offenses result in consequences subject to the discretion of the Principal or his/her designee(s) and may include Wolf Point deductions, school service/cleaning (if the offense is related to defacing or damaging school property), loss of school privileges, In School Suspension, Out of School Suspension, and/or expulsion. The list of infractions below is not meant to be exhaustive, but rather provides examples of prohibited conduct. The school’s rules and regulations may be supplemented by teachers’ rules for their classes and other school events. Repeated suspensions exhibiting a pattern of dangerous behavior may lead to expulsion. Suspended scholars are not entitled to participate in school activities. Any breaches of state or federal law may be handled in cooperation with the police department or other authorities. Scholars may be removed from class and/or school immediately if the scholar’s presence in school or class poses a continuing danger to persons or property, an ongoing threat of danger, or a serious disruption to the academic process. In determining the appropriate disciplinary action, school personnel who are authorized to impose disciplinary penalties may consider, among other things, the scholar’s prior disciplinary record.
