CODE OF CLASSROOM CONDUCT
A primary goal of the Evansville Community School District Board of Education is to establish and maintain a positive learning environment for students and staff. Such environments are based on respect and consideration for the rights of others, along with effective discipline.
Students have a responsibility to know and follow the rules and regulations of the school and district. Students shall receive annually at the beginning of the school year a publication listing the rules and regulations to which they are subject. This publication shall be in the form of a student handbook and shall be adopted annually as part of the Board’s official policy. Formal adoption of the handbook shall be done at a regular Board meeting in the spring.
In conformance with the requirements of 1997 Wisconsin Act 335, the Code of Conduct Administrative Rules created to implement this policy shall include the following:
- The specific reasons for removing a student from class.
- Procedures for determining the appropriate educational placement of a student who has been removed from a class and assigned a placement by the building principal or designee.
- A procedure for notifying the parent/guardian of a minor student who has been removed from class.
All employees of the District shall share responsibility for supervising the behavior of students and for seeing that students meet the standards of conduct established by the building principal and Board. Students may be subject to disciplinary action for violations of the code of conduct or other conduct rules and regulations. In addition, failure to abide by the code of conduct may result in disciplinary action.
Prior to the beginning of each school year, parents/guardians shall be notified of this code of conduct policy and process. It shall be provided to and discussed with students early in the school year.
