| 4. Code of Conduct Review | A review was conducted on May 3 and May 10 (minutes of that review are attached).
Our current Code is based on a State-wide template and was reviewed by the school attorney. The committee felt that the code does not need to be rewritten with the exception of updates to IDEA language (discipline of special needs students. How the code is enforced and communicated is what the District needs to work on. The Code of Conduct is a Board policy; the Athletic Code is a school procedure. Parents have given us feedback that they are not aware of, have not anticipated, the consequences of breaking the Code of Conduct (extremes). The HSIT and District office teams are obtaining information from other districts around us. The information would be forwarded to DIT. |
Topics returned to the DIT include: Introductory Statement “preamble”; procedures for athletes, and application of code to all students, not targeting athletes; and communication including bilingual translation.
DIT to begin discussion at July 9, 2007 meeting. The team can then map out what the timeline will look like. |
