Policy AS90 Suspensions
District policy AS90 requires a suspension of 45 school days for students found guilty of a second offense possession or first offense distribution. As of March 31, 2016, there are 45 school days remaining in the 2015-16 school year. Students in violation of this policy should be suspended for the remainder of this year. Suspended students are not allowed to participate in any school activities, including end-of-the-year events. Seniors will not be allowed to participate in graduation ceremonies, but will be allowed to pick up their diploma the following day.
Please inform your students' parents that the 45-day suspensions after March 31, 2016 will carry over into the 2016-17 school year. This office will send a list to all assistant principals next fall identifying students who have remaining days of suspension.
