Section
07-015 Discipline
Teachers
shall be responsible for the discipline of pupils enrolled in their classes, but
shall have the freedom of consulting with the Principal.
Self-discipline should be encouraged, and the self-respect of the student
should be remembered in handling of discipline problems.
Teachers should keep in mind that profanity, threats, personal
indignities, sarcasm, and ridicule have no place in school disciplinary
measures. Teachers shall refrain
from delegating their responsibility for handling student discipline problems to
other teachers or to students. Teachers
should attempt to avoid appearances of anger and undue haste in handling
discipline problems. Corporal
punishment shall not be allowed as a form of punishment in any of the USD 263
schools. No teacher shall have the
authority to suspend or expel a student from school, but may bring or send a
student to the Principal's office, and may recommend that such student not be
allowed to return to their classroom. The
Principal may then suspend the pupil from school for a period not to exceed ten
days, or may recommend periods of longer suspension or expulsion to the
Superintendent for their disposition.
