PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING STUDENTS. Discipline in each school will be carried out in accordance with Board policies and the District’s Discipline Management Plan. Such policies shall be developed with input from teachers, parents, and students in accordance with School Laws of Oklahoma. The MEA as an Association, through the Superintendent, can provide input to the Board regarding student discipline. The district shall make every reasonable effort to provide necessary support and assistance to teachers with respect to maintenance of an appropriate learning environment in the classroom. Whenever a student’s behavior suggests the need for in-house or special counseling services, intervention by law enforcement personnel, or other professional services, the district shall take steps to provide these services or to inform parents and students of available services to the extent that no financial liability on the part of the district is incurred. Each school will take steps, when appropriate, to relieve the teacher of said student for the remainder of the period and/or day. Every effort will be made by the administration to communicate to the classroom teacher the services that have been provided or offered and the status of the student’s participation.
