Before adopting any revisions to the code, the board will hold at least one public hearing at which school personnel, parents, students and any other interested party participate. The code of conduct and any amendments to it will be filed with the Commissioner no later than 30 days after adoption. XVI. DISCIPLINARY CODE OF ACTION A school district must protect the learning rights of individual student, but not at the expense of other students who are attempting to learn. There are those students who resist every effort put forth by school personnel involved in the disciplinary process. Despite strict laws requiring attendance up to age 16, public education is not an absolute right and must be denied to those who fail to follow the rules and regulations of the Fillmore Central School District.

The following disciplinary actions are a consequence of student misbehavior. It is the responsibility of the student to become familiar with them.
