Code of Conduct Up for Review

At its September meeting, the Bronxville Board of Education had a first reading of proposed revisions to the District's Code of Conduct. The revisions incorporate new legislation regarding the Dignity for All Students Act, including bullying, cyber-bullying and harassment as well as amplification and clarification of other policies regarding behavior on and off campus, cheating and plagiarism, and dress code. A second reading and vote are scheduled for the October meeting.  The Board asked that students have an opportunity to make suggestions for revisions to the policy and further, that the administration take steps to ensure that the Code is compatible with the District's Honor Code and co-curricular policies. 

We invite comments from the public. The proposed Code can be found here.
