ENFORCING PUPIL BEHAVIOR POLICIES Clause Samples
The "Enforcing Pupil Behavior Policies" clause establishes the requirement for all parties, typically staff and students, to adhere to a school's established rules regarding student conduct. In practice, this clause outlines the procedures for monitoring, addressing, and correcting student misbehavior, which may include disciplinary actions such as warnings, detentions, or suspensions. Its core function is to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment by ensuring consistent application of behavior standards and providing clear consequences for violations.
ENFORCING PUPIL BEHAVIOR POLICIES. 1. Board Support and Assistance - The Board recognizes its responsibility to give all reasonable support and assistance to employees with respect to the maintenance of control and discipline in the school from the time the child is in attendance or in district-sponsored transit to or from the school or any other school function authorized by the school district or in a classroom presided over by the teacher. The Board recognizes that the teacher in the classroom should not be expected to assume the ongoing responsibility for social work or psychotherapy. Whenever it appears that a particular pupil requires the attention of special employees, specialcounselors, social workers, law enforcement personnel, physicians or other professionally trained persons, the principal will make a decision to pursue special assistance with respect to such student. The district shall develop policies for the following student offenses:
a. assault (verbal or physical) toward a teacher
b. weapons or explosives of any kind brought to school
c. illegal/non-authorized drugs
d. threats against teacher or property
e. acts resulting from bigotry or prejudice
f. harassment
2. Conference - When, in the judgment of the teacher, a student requires the attention of the principal, assistant principal, counselor, psychologist, physician or other specialist, the teacher shall so inform his/her principal or immediate supervisor. The principal, immediate supervisor or teacher may arrange as soon as possible for a conference among the student’s parents, the teacher, the principal and/or the appropriate specialist to discuss the problem and to decide upon appropriate steps for its resolution.
ENFORCING PUPIL BEHAVIOR POLICIES. Each employee will be provided copies of the policies and regulations concerning pupil behavior. The employees will be instructed by the building administrator on their duties and responsibilities in regard to disruptive pupil behavior. An employee may remove a disruptive pupil from the classroom when the employee judges the pupil’s behavior to be disruptive of the instructional program. As soon as possible thereafter, the employee will notify the building administrator of the reasons surrounding the need to remove the disruptive pupil from class.
ENFORCING PUPIL BEHAVIOR POLICIES. Any policies, etc., adopted by the School District concerning student discipline shall be made known to the teachers together with its procedures for enforcement on the first in-service of the year.
