Proposed Changes to Policy JD: Student Discipline
Overview
The Board of Education’s Policy Committee has forwarded to the Board of Education for consideration a proposed change to the district’s student discipline policy. The proposed change would allow an appeal of short-term suspensions of 10 or fewer days by a school or district administrator.
•Requests for an appeal of a short-term suspension (10 days or fewer) would start with the principal, if the suspension was given by an assistant principal.
•If the school is too small to have an assistant principal, the review would be conducted by the principal supervisor.
•The final step, if parents/guardians wish to appeal the decision of the principal supervisor, would be the superintendent’s designee, who would act on behalf of and with the delegated authority of the superintendent.
•Only long-term suspensions of more than 10 days are appealable to the Board of Education in a formal hearing.
Questions & Answers
1. On what grounds can a student or parent/guardian appeal a suspension?
A short-term suspension is subject to appeal if:
•The suspension was issued to a student in error (e.g. a student who was absent from school on the day and during the time the alleged misbehavior occurred in a classroom);
•The suspension was issued based on unsubstantiated allegations or a personal conclusion rather than facts;
•The suspension was issued in violation of the student’s rights under IDEA (Individuals with Disabi

My child has never been in trouble at school, a model student. When she got to N.E. High, a student on the bus provoked her, and she and the student got 3 days out of school suspension. I never got the chance to tell my daughter's side of the dilemma, whereas she was just defending herself. The boy that she was in the fight with, exceeded the level of violence more than she could protect herself and that was never addressed.

All children should have the right to be "in class" and remain in class as long as they are following directions and if there is a need for a redirect then they should be given a chance before removing them from class. They should also be given work to keep up with their classmates.

This proposal send reasonable to me. I have seen some questionable suspensions with difficult outcomes that may not have been in the child's best interest. The ability to appeal is just.
I agree 100%
