Student Code Of Conduct

Students who share, sell, trade and/or distribute alcohol or other dangerous drugs or drug paraphernalia to other students or persons at school, while traveling to and from school, at school sponsored events, while at other schools in the District, and while off campus whenever such conduct has a direct effect on the discipline or general welfare of the school are subject to immediate suspension and/or expulsion. The student is also subject to additional educational programs and obligations established by the District.

First Offense The principal or assistant principal shall:

1. Notify and request a conference with the parents/guardians of the student.
2. Suspend the student for the violation of District rules for up to ten (10) school days, pending a recommendation to expel.
3. Notify appropriate law enforcement/ juvenile agency.
4. Turn over all drug related evidence to the appropriate law enforcement agency.
5. Require that for a student to be readmitted into the District educational programs, a substance use evaluation be performed by an approved third party, off campus, at the district’s expense. The results of the evaluation, if required, must be submitted to the principal or designee. The student and parents/guardians must agree to fulfill the recommendation of the evaluator and submit necessary progress reports to the principal or designee. If the evaluation does not recommend treatment, upon re-admittance into school, a student shall be required to attend the Beaverton School District approved intervention program. If treatment for substance use is recommended, the student and parents/guardians must agree to fulfill the recommendation of the evaluator. They must also agree to fulfill the treatment plan until they are exited from treatment by the provider. Those students who enter treatment for substance use are not required to enroll in the Beaverton School District approved intervention program. A recommendation for expulsion will be made if the student who is diagnosed as “no treatment recommended” fails to attend the required Beaverton School District approved intervention program. If the student or parent/guardian refuses to permit the evaluation and any recommended substance use treatment, a recommendation for expulsion will be made to the Executive Director up to the full extent of the law.

Second Offense and/or Subsequent Offenses The principal or assistant principal shall:

1. Notify and request a conference with parents/guardians of the student.
2. Suspend the student for the violation of the District rules for ten (10) school days pending a recommendation to expel up to the full extent of the law.
3. Notify appropriate law enforcement.

Any second offense that occurs after 36 months of a first offense shall not be recognized by the District as a second or subsequent offense.
