This school district recognizes that the growth of a student, both academically and personally, reflects not only the educational programs and goals of the district, but also the atmosphere in which the student attends school. To the extent possible, this school district is committed to providing an educational setting where the students feel safe, are challenged to grow academically and personally, are treated with respect by the district personnel and other students, and are disciplined fairly by district personnel.
To provide such an educational setting, this board of trustees has adopted policies and procedures, as mandated by the Idaho State Board of Education in the following areas:
1. Discipline
2. Student Health
3. Violence Prevention
4. Gun-free Schools
5. Substance Abuse—tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs
6. Suicide Prevention
7. Student Harassment
8. Drug-free School Zones
9. Building Safety including Evacuation Drills
The board of trustees will review these policies and procedures on an annual basis to determine whether or not they are meeting the needs of the students, school district and community.
Students will be notified, in writing, of changes to the above policies and procedures that may result in a disciplinary action, modification of academic criteria, or other direct consequences to the student. Notification of changes will be provided at least five (5) days before such changes become effective. The student handbook will inform students and their parent/guardian of the district policies and school rules and regulations regarding school climate.
