Background:
|
Although the district has satisfied the requirements of Resolution #05-14-5003 with the Office for Civil Rights, the district continues to refine policies, procedures, and practices to address disproportionality in student discipline. The district worked to identify alternatives to removal from class to be utilized, except when the immediate safety of students or staff is threatened or behavior is such that disruption to the educational environment can only be remedied by removal.
The proposed revisions to Administrative Policy 8.28: Student Discipline and Administrative Policy 8.31: Student Suspension codify these removal alternatives that utilize the virtual classroom. The proposed revisions also codify prior Board action, as part of Resolution 2021-007 adopted in September 2020, regarding suspensions for students below sixth grade.
