Admin. Proc. 350 requirements

  1. Brief description of the specific details or circumstances of the event/incident leading up to suspension along with any other relevant information (past incidents/lower level consequences/parent meetings, etc.).
  2. Provide an opportunity to meet with the student’s parent, or the student, if the student is 16 years of age or older, to discuss the circumstances of the suspension.
  3. List any supportive services designed to resolve the problem which led to the suspension.
  4. Include the number of days the student is suspended for including the appropriate dates.
  5. Refer to further disciplinary consequences if this specific or other misbehaviour occurs again.
  6. A statement for reinstatement (meeting, cease this sort of behaviour, comply with expectations, etc.).
  7. Include a statement that while under suspension the student shall not be on any LRSD school or division grounds or ride school buses.

Example:

STUDENT has been showing up late to his block 4 class with a slurpee in his hand. His classroom teacher spoke with him about this on Sept. 17, 2011 and he was also reminded by Mr. AP on two occasions in the past two weeks (Sept. 18, and 25) of the need to be in class on time. On September 19, 2011, STUDENT served a lunchtime detention for being late two days in a row. As you know, on September 26, 2011, STUDENT served a half-day in-school suspension for repeated non-compliance. Today, when spoken to again, STUDENT was uncooperative and became very belligerent.1

As a consequence, STUDENT was given a one day out-of-school suspension to be served on Thursday, September 29, 2011.4

He may return to school on Friday, September 30, 2011, provided that a meeting with administration has occurred to discuss appropriate future behavior and to review student expectations.2,6

I am willingto arrange a time when STUDENT can meet with our school counselor to discuss potential strategies to improve punctuality.3

STUDENT should note that while under suspension, STUDENT shall not be on any LRSD school or division grounds or ride school buses.7

Should STUDENT continue to be non-compliant and/or belligerent with staff, further disciplinary consequences will result.5
