After a public hearing and discussion, the Board of Education adopted the proposed Code of Conduct at its October meeting. The new Code incorporates requirements of the Dignity for All Students Act and includes a comprehensive set of school rules and consequences.
As part of the review process, this Code was presented to the High School Student Faculty Legislature. That presentation has led to an effort to communicate the student-developed honor code more widely, through posters and discussion. Board members expressed an interest in exploring key provisions of the Code in greater depth; such presentations could raise public awareness of rights and responsibilities. The Code will be reviewed regularly, and there were some specific suggestions for future revisions, such as spelling out the role and responsibilities of coaches.
The adopted Code can be found here.
