GENERAL GUIDELINES
FOR ASSESSING DISCIPLINE
PENALTIES
Chronic Offenses
The district defines chronic to be two or more violations
of the discipline code in general or repeated occurrences of
the same violation. Please understand that discipline
consequences will be progressive in nature. Progressive
means penalties will increase in severity as a student
accumulates discipline violations. Note: Students/parents,
some discipline violations will begin with more severe
consequence. JFC(1), JFC(1)-R (1)

STUDENT WITHDRAWAL TO

admittance to school. ARS 15-843 (E)
EMERGENCY REMOVAL OF
STUDENTS
Students may be removed from regular classes or district
premises for non-disciplinary health, welfare, and safety
reasons when the administration determines that an emergency
exists. Reasons constituting an emergency include, but are
not limited to:
- 1. Being under the influence of alcohol or other
drugs
- 2. Being highly agitated
- 3. Suffering from any other condition that
temporarily threatens the students welfare, or other
individual's welfare. Any student removed from school
for a reason shown above who is in a condition that
threatens his own welfare or the welfare of others shall
be released to the parent, the parent's representative,
or other proper authority, including, but not limited to
law enforcement officers and medical personnel.
NOTIFYING POLICE
School officials are not required to initiate or complete
due process procedure prior to notifying police authorities.
If police authorities are notified, parents or guardians may
be contacted by telephone or certified letter. Any action
taken by police authorities will be in addition to action

manner or behavior materially disrupts class work or
involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of
other students or employees at school or school related
activities is prohibited. Student demonstrations and similar
activities shall be prohibited when there is evidence that
may reasonably lead school authorities to predict
substantial disruption of, or interference with, normal
school operations or approved school activities.
ARRESTED STUDENTS
If a student at school is subject to arrest or
apprehension by a law enforcement officer, the principal,
designee, or School District Peace Officer shall deliver the
