"When you choose your behavior, you choose the consequence."
SEVERE DISRUPTIONS:
1 A severe disruption is defined as a student whose behavior, either physical or verbal, inhibits the learning process.
Disruptive behavior will not be condoned in the classroom, in other areas of the campus, to or from school on school transportation, or at other related school activities.
2 When a teacher determines that a
severe disruption has occurred the child will be dealt with according to classroom and school discipline plans.
The referring party will notify parents verbally, and the Disruptive Behavior Contact Form will be completed, distributed as indicated and sent to the principal.
3 To ensure the rights of children to a safe,
productive and positive learning environment, the following procedures will be followed:
Step 1 – Disruptive behaviors will be reported to parents. After the second Student Discipline, a
Contact Form is completed a Student Assistance Team (SAT) meeting will be convened to look at appropriate interventions.
Step 2 – After a student's fourth Student Discipline is documented, the SAT
and parents will develop a remedial discipline plan to address the disruptive behavior.
Step 3 – If the remedial discipline plan is violated, the principal will initiate a SAT meeting with parent to review
the situation and too cooperatively develop an alternative placement plan that will include goals, objectives and a timeline for changing the disruptive behavior. If the student is a special education
student a MDT meeting will take place of the SAT.
Step 4 – If the out-of-classroom alternative plan is violated, by the students, the procedures for suspension from the Meridian School District will be
initiated.
