Section S - Student
LOCAL
The Board has the authority and responsibility to establish reasonable rules and regulations for the conduct and deportment of district students. At the same time, no student shall be deprived of equal treatment and equal access to the educational program, due process, and free expression and association in accordance with these guidelines. Certain responsibilities accompany the rights established for each student, which include respect for the rights of others, obedience to properly constituted school authority, and compliance with the rules and regulations of this District.
Students who have reached the age of eighteen (18) years possess the full rights of adults and may authorize school matters previously handled by their parents.
The Superintendent shall develop and promulgate administrative procedures consistent with law and Board policy to ensure that student rights under varying conditions are properly described. These administrative procedures will be established in a student handbook that shall be adhered to by all district students.
Such procedures shall be reviewed annually and updated when required.
