Out-of-School Suspension 9TH – 12TH Grade Students

When a student is suspended out-of-school for ten (10) or fewer days, the student shall receive a grade of zero for all class work, daily work, quizzes, etc., for the period of time suspended.

Any single assignment that carries a weight of fifteen percent (15%) or more of the final quarter grade will be considered a major assignment and the student may complete that work and have the grade earned included in the calculation of the quarter grade.

Assignments weighted less than fifteen percent (15%) will be counted as minor assignments and zeros will be recorded during the period of suspension.

Each high school shall adopt a Restorative Credit Program. By performing pre-approved school or community service, first-time suspended students earn the privilege of completing and receiving credit on make-up work for their minor assignments. This option will be available only to students serving their first suspension of a school year.

1. When the student is readmitted, the administrator will include on the readmit paperwork the above criteria/stipulations.
