1 6.10 STUDENT BEHAVIOR POLICIES 1. Parental Involvement: The board recognizes the valuable role of parents and guardians in working with the schools in helping students learn and practice acceptable standards of behavior. Parents are encouraged to participate in discussions of effective strategies for correcting misbehavior and appropriate consequences for violations of board policy or school standards or rules. Schools are expected, as part of their student behavior management plan, to identify strategies that involve parents. The plan should provide for inviting parents to conferences whenever there are repeated violations of board policy, school standards or rules, or whenever there is a serious violation that may result in removing the student from his or her regular educational environment for any extended period of time. 2. Purpose: All decisions related to student behavior are guided by the board s educational objectives to teach responsibility and respect and the board s commitment to create safe, orderly and inviting schools. Student behavior policies are provided in order to establish expected standards of student behavior, principles to be followed in managing student behavior, consequences for anti-social behavior or drug/alcohol policy violations, and required procedures for addressing misbehavior. The policies adopted by the board are intended to promote safety and prevent harm to all students, staff, and visitors in the schools, treat all public school students with dignity and respect in the delivery of discipline, use of physical restraints or seclusion, and the use of reasonable force as permitted by law. The policies adopted by the board are also meant to provide school staff with clear guidelines about what constitutes use of reasonable force permissible in public schools under North Carolina law, improve student achievement, attendance, promotion, and graduation rates by employing positive behavioral interventions to address student behavior in a positive and safe manner, and promote the retention of valuable teachers and other school personnel by providing appropriate training in prescribed procedures which address student behavior in a positive and safe manner. 3. Principles: The purpose of managing student behavior is to create an orderly environment where students can learn, to teach expected standards of behavior, to help students learn to accept the consequences of their behavior, and to provide students with the opportunity to develop self-control. The following principles will apply in managing student behavior: A. Student behavior management strategies will support other efforts to create a safe, orderly and inviting environment; B. Responsibility, integrity, honesty and other standards of behavior will be integrated into the curriculum; C. Disruptive behavior in the classroom will not be tolerated;
2 D. Consequences for unacceptable behavior are intended to help a student learn to comply with rules and to learn to accept responsibility and develop selfcontrol; E. Age and developmentally appropriate strategies and consequences will be utilized.
3 4. Applicability: Students must follow board and school behavior policies in all of the following circumstances: A. While in any school building or on any school premises before, during and after school hours; B. While on any bus or other vehicle as part of any school activity; C. While waiting at any bus stop; D. During any school function, extracurricular activity or other activity or event; E. When subject to the authority of school personnel; and F. Any time or place when the student s behavior has a direct and immediate effect on maintaining order and discipline in the schools. 5. Communication of Policies: Board policies related to student behavior are found in Section 6 of the Davidson County Board of Education policy manual, available from the Davidson County Schools website or from the superintendent s office. The principal is responsible for providing each student and the student s parent(s) or guardian(s) a copy of the school s student behavior policies and any other conduct rules and procedures. 6. Definition of Terms: The following definitions apply as the terms below are used in Section 6 of the Davidson County Board of Education policy manual.

The teacher is expected to implement the school student behavior management plan and any other school standards or rules. The teacher may develop other standards or rules consistent with the direction provided by the board, superintendent, and school principal. Every teacher, student teacher, substitute teacher, voluntary teacher or teacher assistant is required to report acts of violence occurring in school, on school grounds, or at any school-sponsored activity to the principal.

"Promptly notify" means by the end of the workday during which the
8 incident occurred when reasonably possible, but in no event later than the end of following workday. C. Within a reasonable period of time, but in no event later than 30 days after the incident, the parent or guardian of the student shall be provided with a written incident report for any incident reported under this section.

9 SCHOOL PLAN FOR MANAGEMENT OF STUDENT BEHAVIOR Each school must have a plan for managing student behavior which incorporates effective strategies consistent with the purpose and principles established by board policies regarding student behavior. Schools are encouraged to seek positive, innovative and constructive methods of correcting and managing student behavior in an effort to avoid repeated misbehavior and suspension. 1. Components of the Plan: The plan should address (1) the process by which student behavior will be addressed, including any use of a disciplinary committee and the means by which students at risk of repeated disruptive or disorderly conduct are identified, assessed, and assisted; (2) positive behavioral interventions and possible consequences that will be used; and (3) parental involvement strategies that address when parents or guardians will be notified or involved in issues related to their child's behavior. Consequences for violating board policies or school standards or rules may include, but are not limited to, the following: a. parental involvement; b. isolation or time-out for short periods of time; c. behavior improvement agreements (contracts); d. individual or small group sessions with a school counselor; e. in-school suspension; f. detention before and/or after school or on Saturday; g. community service; h. exclusion from extracurricular activities; i. placement in an alternative school; or j. out-of-school suspension or expulsion. The board prohibits corporal punishment, believing that other consequences are more appropriate and effective for teaching self-control. No teacher, substitute teacher, student teacher, bus driver, or other employee, contractor or volunteer may use corporal punishment to discipline any student. Reasonable force that is necessary to protect oneself or others is not considered corporal punishment. Principals shall avoid removing students from the classroom for a long period of time, including in-school or out-of-school suspension, unless necessary to provide a safe, orderly environment that is conducive to learning. The principal is authorized to remove students in accordance with board policies for anti-social or criminal conduct or for other behavior that interferes with a safe, orderly environment. 2. Process for Developing and Evaluating the Plan: Principals are encouraged to use a team approach in developing and evaluating the school s plan to manage student behavior. On at least an annual basis, the plan should be evaluated based upon data on disciplinary actions taken and the impact on student academic performance. Principals shall report on at least an annual basis to the superintendent and the board on the effectiveness of the plan in minimizing classroom disruptions, referrals to the principal s office and the use of out-of-school suspensions. The report also will address the plan's effect on academic performance.
10 The superintendent also is encouraged to consider, develop and propose new and alternative discipline programs to the board. Legal Reference: G.S. 115C-47,105.47, -288, -307, ,-390.2, , , Adopted/Revised: April 15, 1999; November 1, 2010; August 1, 2011
