STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES Each student has the responsibility to: Respect the inherent human dignity and worth of every individual. Be informed of and adhere to all rules and regulations established by East Shore Leadership Academy and implemented by school administrators, teachers, and support staff for the welfare and safety of all students. Study diligently and strive to reach the highest possible level of academic achievement. Be punctual to school and classes. Refrain from slanderous remarks and obscenity in verbal and written expression. Dress and present oneself in a manner that meets the standards of health, cleanliness, safety, and the East Shore Leadership Academy Dress Code. Help maintain and improve East Shore Leadership Academy’s school environment, preserve school property and exercise the utmost care while using school equipment and facilities. Conduct oneself in an appropriate manner while in attendance at all school sponsored and/or related events. Continue to be, or strive to become, more actively involved in one’s education and personal growth. DISCIPLINE & SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS School officials may suspend a disabled student (as identified by IDEIA 2004) for up to ten (10) consecutive days without implementing procedural safeguards. However, a suspension in excess of ten (10) consecutive school days constitute a “change in placement” for which procedural safeguards must be implemented. Before implementing a suspension for a disabled student for more than ten (10) consecutive school days, the school district must provide due process protection given non-disabled students, and must take the following steps: Notify the student’s parent or guardian in writing of proposed change in placement; and Convene an MDR/IEPT to determine: Did the disability cause, or have a direct and substantial relationship to the act of the misconduct? Did the District’s failure to implement the IEP cause the misconduct? If the answer to both questions is NO, a suspension of more than ten (10) days must be imposed. However, the school district is still responsible for providing special education services during the course of the long-term suspension and an IEPT must be convened to determine what the special education services will be. At any stage, the parent always has the right to appeal a decision made as part of the IEPT process. In the event of an appeal, the school district must operate under the “stay put” policy allowing the student to remain in the present program. East Shore Leadership Academy will follow IDEIA 2004 mandates.
