Common use of Withholding of Privileges Clause in Contracts

Withholding of Privileges. The student may be denied an opportunity to partake in school-related activities and/or events as deemed appropriate by the principal or designee. ● Out-of-School Suspension - Out of School Suspension (OSS) is a formal disciplinary action that can only be assigned by the principal or designee and requires notice sent to parents via phone or e-mail. The notice will include the students’ conduct, school rule(s) violated, and the number of days the student is suspended. This requirement does not preclude administration from contacting parents by phone and assigning an immediate suspension when deemed necessary. Leaving a message at the phone number recorded in the school file will be considered sufficient notification. A meeting between a parent and an administrator may be required prior to the return of the student serving an out-of-school suspension. However, failure of the parent to attend the conference does not preclude the student’s readmission to the school. All students under out-of-school suspension are prohibited from participating in after school activities and therefore are not allowed to come on the school campus. Students who receive an out-of-school suspension more than 3 days will not be able to participate on any overnight field trips/school extra curricular activities for the rest of the school year.
