students’ rights and responsibilities
When rules are violated, consequences should be the same for all students. However, each case is individually reviewed by school officials who consider the child’s age and intentions. If the child is in special education, federal law and court rulings require the Board of Education to also take the handicapping condition into consideration when taking disciplinary measures.
You may not agree with the school’s assessment of the situation or be satisfied with the way the problem was resolved at your child’s school. If that’s the case, you can appeal a principal’s decision to the district’s supervisor of guidance or to the next highest educational level.
