JKG – In-School Suspension

Students with disruptive behavior patterns should not be allowed to remain in regular classrooms; yet when such students are suspended from school it often adds to the problems of the students, the school and the community. Therefore, the Board endorses the concept of in-school suspension. The purpose of in-school suspension is to provide a more effective means of discipline than detention or out-of-school suspension. By using in-school suspension, students should not get behind on school assignments. The possibility exists, however, that out-of-school suspension may be deemed necessary. All in-school suspensions shall be imposed consistent with due process. The following guidelines shall be observed:
  1. Students shall be assigned to a special class where they shall be adequately supervised at all times. The in-school suspension teacher shall see that each student has textbooks and classwork assignments from his regular teachers.
  2. The principal shall notify the parents at once by telephone if their child has been placed under in-school suspension and shall follow up with a written notification. Reasons for the in-school suspension shall be given, and a conference may be scheduled prior to the student's readmission to regular class.
  3. Students may not participate in extracurricular activities while they are under in-school suspension, but they shall receive credit for work completed during the suspension period.
