WITHDRAWALS, SUSPENSIONS, EXPULSIONS

 

All student withdrawals shall be reported to the Student Services Department as part of the regular monthly reporting procedures by all buildings.

 

Withdrawals of students between the ages of six and sixteen should be accompanied by notification to the attendance school of the next school of enrollment for the student.  If this notification is not made by the parent or legal guardian, then the attendance school has the responsibility of reminding the parent or legal guardian that the Michigan School Code requires attendance for youngsters between the ages of six and sixteen unless exempted by the Superintendent of the district of residence.

 

Whenever an attendance school has knowledge of a student living within the attendance area who is not attending school, this fact shall be reported to the Superintendent or designee.

 

Building principals have the authority to suspend students within the terms and conditions spelled out in the Uniform Code of Student Conduct.  Suspensions of less than four days duration shall be reported as a regular part of the monthly reporting package.  Suspensions of more than four days duration shall be reported as soon as they are imposed to the Superintendent or designee.

 

Building principals may recommend expulsion to the Assistant Superintendent for Instruction.  Following review by the appropriate Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, the recommendation may be denied or be forwarded to the Superintendent for review.  Following review, the Superintendent may deny the recommendation or may forward the recommendation to the Board of Education for action.  If the Board accepts the recommendation, a hearing Committee composed of three Board members will be established, the school district attorney will be officially notified.  These actions shall be in accordance with the provisions in the Uniform Code of Student Conduct.
