Hoover High School Code Of Conduct

Schools have policies and procedures in place to support staff in situations that may involve violence, threatening behaviour and/or abuse among other policies which are all legal requirements within the setting of a school. Policies intend to provide a structure that makes sure consistent principles are applied to practice within a school. They aren’t planned to point out every imaginable event that might be applied within the policy scheme.

Through my teaching experience I have found that school violence encompasses many forms such as verbal harassment, non-verbal harassment, cyber-bullying, intimidation and any act that devalues a student’s self-worth. According to Detroit Public Schools, “it is the intention of the District to provide as safe and nonviolent learning environment for its employees, students, parents, and visitors as is possible. To this end, the District strives to maintain an environment free of threats, harassment, intimidation, physical and verbal abuse, and coercion” (Detroit Public Schools, 2009). The purpose of this policy is create a safe environment where students are free from any tape of harassment. The policy goes on to state it is the staff's responsibility to, “be educated and aware of potential signs and signals of violent or threatening behavior in students”(Detroit Public Schools, 2009). In other words, it is necessary for the school staff to remain vigilant of these signs and address them as soon as appear. Based off the nature of the action the school will follow a course of discipline suited to the accused

In addition, we used the 2015 Florida School Laws book and the Florida State Statutes to review the K-20 Education Code. The major topics of the summary paper were bullying, due process, and FERPA. To complete the summary, I read through many legal documents, such as the Duval County School Board Policy Manual Chapter 10, Duval County Code of Conduct, Fla. Stat. §1006, §1002, §1003, and the U. S. Constitution. According to the state statutes, every school district must have a student code of conduct that includes a bullying and harassment policy. This document provides the foundation for student expectations and responsibilities at school, school-related activities, and situations that affect school culture. The state statutes specify the responsibilities and obligations of teachers regarding supervision and discipline of students. Teachers must make all decisions in the best interest of students in academics and safety. Due process of law and equality are guaranteed in the Fourteenth Amendment and forbid the basic rights of life, liberty, and property from being unfairly taken away. Substantive due process refers to government guidelines and rules that deny students of their fundamental rights. Procedural due process is a way of making sure the school system provides fair and appropriate measures to

The school’s rules were provided in student handbooks that were given to every student at the beginning of the year, and the rules are also posted in each of the classrooms on campus. The parents and student received detailed oral and written notice of the charges against the student, which provided information about the incident and evidence the administrator discovered. Since this student’s action presented an immediate danger the administrator was able to immediately remove the student from school without advance notice to the parents, however, the parents were told of the incident in a timely

It is proven that the honor code doesn't always work in full effect.Things Don't usually work in full effect at Rockville High school unless there are follow up consequences. Dirmeyer and Cartwright take their position on the topic stating , “our honor code is strictly enforced,and the enforcement is handled by an all-student court.Students convicted of lying or cheating can expect to receive punishment ranging from suspension to exclusion.”(Source C).Rockville high school administration can always revise this rule.Instead of students being suspended for cheating and lying there could be a different punishment. Let's face it,nobody likes to feel like a complete prisoner.It wouldn't hurt for the administers to take action by grabbing ideas

Studies have also found a correlation between exclusionary discipline and (1) increased school avoidance, (2) decreased academic engagement, (3) an increased rate of dropouts, (4) increased behavioral problems, and (5) increased involvement with the juvenile justice system. School administrators have the right to want to develop a safe climate for their students and teachers and remove threats from their schools. However, serious threats from students are rare. Nearly 60 percent of the suspensions and expulsions administered in HPS in 2009-2010 were administered for school policy violations—a category that includes things like insubordination, profanity, sleeping in class, and truancy—not serious safety concerns like violence against others or weapons.

I’m reaching out to you as a concern parent in regards to incident that happen on 03/10/2017 Friday. My daughter Ahneya Barrett had an unfortunately altercation with another student and Mr. Alexander at Western Branch High school use unreasonable force with my daughter; moreover Mr. Alexander made the statement to my daughter, “That’s what you get” as she slid into the wall. I have related my concerns to Dr. Whitley and the administration staff; nevertheless can’t anyone address the issue about my

In the short four and a half years I have spent as a part of the Marist student body, learning their habits, celebrating their triumphs and considering their concerns, I have noticed a problem requiring immediate action, a silent plague sweeping our school that needs to be addressed to avoid imminent catastrophe. Across all subjects, from middle school theology classes to Advanced Placement arithmetic courses, the practice of cheating runs rampant and unchecked at our school. Popular cheating tactics include plagiarizing, using unauthorized outside sources and outright copying another student’s answers during a test, but exceptionally creative Marist students have explored less conventional strategies, such as the creation of secret codes to discretely convey messages.

The word plagiarism is defined in the Merriam-Webster dictionary as the action of “...copy[ing] and pass[ing] off (the expression of ideas or words of another) as one’s own… without crediting the source”. In the Howard County Public School’s “Code of Conduct” the levels of severity for consequences regarding actions such as plagiarizing are thoroughly explained using levels. Level I resulting in the least harmful consequences for a student and Level V resulting in the harshest. In my experience with the Level system of punishment, I would place my punishment for plagiarism at Level IV which includes a referral and required parent notification. The outcome of my actions has also resulted in a lunch detention and a zero on the assignment. In this paper, I will be explaining the courses of punishment for academic dishonesty (exclusively plagiarism) at the top three colleges I wish to apply to following high school and what punishment I would have faced if I plagiarized my paper in those colleges. The colleges include University of Maryland, Florida State University, and the University of California, Irvine.

A school can only get involved with matters that take place outside of the building if the disruption interferes with the education during the school day. Since the fight took place on school grounds, Mr. S decided that action should be taken on the school level. Both students were given a 10 day out of school suspension and the police were contacted and charged Andy with a terrorist threat. Steve’s mother was ok with the 10 day suspension but father was not and tried to fight it. The school suspended Steve for the fight and the father stated he felt threatened so that’s why he jumped Andy. The school stated that Steve should have informed them and not taken matters into his own hands. Father said his son wasn’t a rat and so did not find this to be acceptable for the school but they lost their case and Steve served his ten days.

Bible Belt Academy advise that all employees shall not commit any act of violence, disorderly conduct, rudeness or violation of any rule on or off the job. We are not a company that trying to control one’s life. We just want our employees to understand the importance of ethics of always doing the right thing. How can we expect our clients to conduct themselves appropriate when we as a team is not following the rules?

As school leaders, we have to hold the public trust and so ethics are such an important part what we do in our school. I think there are a few simple rules and one of them is always to think about what is the best benefit for our students. Our ultimate goal is to provide a safe learning environment where students are willing to learn and improve. If we keep this in our mind, we can hardly go wrong with an ethical question that we face. Ethical challenges need to be confronted with courage and compassion for those who would be impacted by difficult decisions. School leaders are responsible for setting the examples that others would wish to follow.

In the body of the email write a short paragraph outlining how you should communicate with your professor. Also, please acknowledge that you understand that your professor will not respond to hateful, disrespectful, or otherwise inappropriate email communications. Any such email will be referred to the Dean of Students for a violation of the student code of conduct; see especially the KCTCS Code of Student Conduct Article IV: Access to and use of KCTCS computing resources, 4.2 Principles Governing Use of Computing Resources: e where it states "KCTCS expects individuals to use information technology in a manner consistent with maintain optimal professional and respectful work and study environments" and Article III: Non-Academic Disciplinary

Student behavior and discipline in the classroom have been impacted by legislation and litigation as was discussed in an article written by Mitchell Yell and Michael Rozalski, The Impact of Legislation and Litigation on Disciple and Student Behavior in the Classroom. The authors believe that all students should receive their education in safe, orderly, and well-disciplined schools but maintaining these environments has become a major challenge for educators (Yell, M & Rozalski, M, 2008). Most states have laws that govern discipline in schools which also protect the rights of students in public education (Yell, et.al, 2008). These state laws control the actions of school officials when they carry out certain discipline-related functions, such as gathering evidence (e.g., searching students, their lockers, or their personal property), seizing contraband from students’ backpacks, or conducting any administrative actions that restrict a student’s property interest to attend school (e.g., suspension, expulsion) (Yell, et.al, 2008). A student’s entitlement under state law to a public education is

School discipline is to ensure that students and the campus staff are safe and peaceful. According to the U.S. Department of Education on Rethinking Discipline (2017), “Teachers and students deserve school environments that are safe, supportive, and conducive to teaching and learning.” The idea is to decrease bad behavior and school violence which will lead to fewer suspensions and expulsions. There are rules and limitations when it comes to student discipline; there are acts in which students can and must be disciplined. For examples, if a student quality’s for special needs some different guidelines protect them under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act’s (IDEA). Furthermore, the Education Code, Section 48900 was implied to discipline students who committed any wrongful doing such as attempting or threatening to physical harm another person. In the case f any wrongfulness, the student is forced to be disciplined by being suspended or expulsed from school.
