Title
ADVERTISEMENT AND NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING FOR REVISION OF THE 2020- 21 STUDENT HANDBOOK AND CODE OF STUDENT CONDUCT
Description

Per statutory requirement, the 2020-21 Code of Student Conduct is being noticed prior to its official adoption by the School Board of Clay County in September of 2020.  The Code of Student Conduct is a policy adopted by the district that defines and describes the expected behavior of students while in the learning environment, and guidelines to administrators on addressing conduct infractions through intervention and consequences.  

Gap Analysis

The Code of Student Conduct is updated annually to address new statutory requirements and strengthen existing language based on a review of discipline data profiles.  Due to the pandemic, additional language has been added to the Code to reflect student expectations when utilizing distance learning as an extension of the traditional classroom and academic honesty.

Expected Outcomes

By publicly advertising this revised version of the Student Handbook and Code of Student Conduct per statutory regulation, the District will continue its cycle of compliance with the Florida Department of Education and allow for public input on the practices and procedures related to student rights and responsibilities as well as how the District handles student misbehavior while in a learning environment.

 

Strategic Plan Goal

Goal 3: Establish a respectful climate and culture that provides equity and access to all. 

Recommendation

Advertise the revision on page numbers 58, 59, 60, 61, and 64 of the 2020-21 Student Handbook and Code of Conduct
