BOONVILLE JR. HIGH SCHOOL

CONSISTENT BEHAVIOR PLAN

A. INTRODUCTION

Boonville Jr. High School will provide a safe and orderly learning environment for all students and personnel. As part of our legal responsibility and pledge to provide a safe and orderly learning environment for all students and personnel, we have constructed a consistent behavior plan that outlines misconduct violations and disciplinary consequences to alert both students and parents regarding misconduct consequences.

B. STUDENT MISCONDUCT CATEGORIES

The student misconduct categories are labeled in three separate parts ranging in degree of severity. The misconduct violations are taken from the Warrick County School Corporation Discipline Policy. Students will suffer disciplinary consequences based on the misconduct and repetitive misconduct violations. (see Section C.)

THIS IS THE TEACHERS’ DISCRETION

C. DISCIPLINARY CONSEQUENCES

Students whose behavior is in violation of the Warrick County School Corporation Discipline Policy will be subject to consistent disciplinary consequences that may be administered by an administrator, teacher, or other school personnel. The process of the disciplinary consequence is identified for each misconduct violation. The consequence will be progressive in nature moving to a more serious consequence for repeat violations of the same misconduct. However, in certain situations, the violation may be such a serious offense that progressive discipline would not be appropriate.

1. Level I Misconduct (recycles every semester)

1^st violation: documented warning

* every repeat minor violation of the same misconduct (after the documented warning) will move to the 1^st violation consequence of Level II Misconduct.

2. Level II Misconduct

1^st violation: demerit and teacher/student conference

2^nd violation: demerit and teacher/student conference

3^rd violation: demerit and parent contact

* will be documented on the demerit form

4^th violation: office referral (administrator discretion)

administrator to parent contact

5^th + violation: office referral (suspension)

3. Level III Misconduct

* immediate office referral (administrator discretion)

4. Dress Code

The school dress code will be enforced as stated in the Warrick County School Corporation Dress Code Policy. Any teacher who sees a violation will ask the student to correct the infraction. If a student does not comply, they will immediately be sent to the office.
