School-Sponsored Activities

Students are subject to suspension, expulsion or other discipline for misconduct that occurs during school time, on school grounds, at any school-supervised or related activity, while going to or from school or a school-sponsored or related activity, while riding school buses or other school-arranged transportation, or wherever the activity or event bears a reasonable relationship to school. These provisions apply even if particular places or times of misconduct are specified elsewhere in the handbook. Also, the discipline consequences set forth in this handbook are guidelines only. Disciplinary action may be more or less severe where deemed appropriate by school officials or the Board of Education.

Finally, the fact that a particular violation is not specifically mentioned in the following pages is not a satisfactory defense for any improper conduct. It is simply impossible to list every action which is inconsistent with good school citizenship. We expect students to form the habit of not only observing the regulations contained herein, but also the general rules of good conduct and common sense acknowledged by the community in which we live.
