5200 Student Conduct and Discipline

5206D Student Discipline - Enrollment Following Misconduct at Another Public or Nonpublic School

To the extent permitted by law, the District may deny enrollment to a student who engaged in misconduct in another public or nonpublic school and who seeks to enroll in the District either: (1) before the previous school imposes disciplinary consequences for the misconduct; or (2) while the student is suspended or expelled from the previous public or nonpublic school. The Superintendent or designee must refer the student to the Board if, under the student code of conduct, the student’s misconduct in the previous public or nonpublic school would result in a long-term suspension or expulsion from that institution and, in the Superintendent’s or designee’s opinion, the student’s enrollment in the District would jeopardize the safety or welfare of the District or substantially disrupt District operations. The Board will hold a pre-enrollment hearing following the Superintendent’s or designee’s referral to consider whether the student may enroll and, if so, any conditions on enrollment. The Board will consider any information submitted by the parent/guardian or student and the Superintendent in either support of or opposition to the student’s enrollment.

This Policy does not apply to students seeking to enroll who have been expelled for any of the following offenses:

A. possession of a firearm or other dangerous weapon;

B. arson;

C. criminal sexual conduct pursuant to Policy 5206 H.3;

D. physical assault on an employee, contractor, or volunteer if student is in grade 6 or above;

E. physical assault of another student if student is in grade 6 or above; and

F. a bomb threat or similar threat if student is in grade 6 or above.
