Ridge View Student Conduct Handbook

STUDENT CONDUCT POLICIES AND GUIDELINES
The Ridge View Student Conduct Handbook should be used as a guideline for student behavior. No attempt is made to include every situation arising during a school year. Administrators will deal with all occurrences through a fair, common sense approach. In addition to the guidelines in the handbook, students are responsible for information given during student orientations, which take place during the first two weeks of school or when a student enters the school during the year.

METAL DETECTOR
When the school administration has reasonable cause to believe that identified or unidentified students possess weapons, when there has been a pattern of finding weapons at school, when violence involving weapons has occurred at school, or when the administration determines that the safety of the school requires it, a hand-held metal detector will be used in accordance with estab-lished procedures. Any search of a student’s person as a result of the activation of the detector will be conducted in private.

The purpose of using a metal detector is to enhance security by preventing students from bringing weapons or other dangerous objects to school. School district regulations state that a student may not possess, use or transfer dangerous weapons. Any student who violates district regulations will be disciplined in accordance with district policy.

STUDENT BEHAVIOR CODE
The Board of Trustees recognizes that rules of student conduct and consequences for violations are necessary for the orderly operation of the District’s schools. It shall be the philosophy of the District, however, to handle all student disciplinary matters at the lowest supervisory level possible and in the most reasonable manner possible. No disciplinary action shall be taken without all pro-cedural rights being afforded to students and their parents as provided by State law, State Board of Education regulation, or the policies of this District. The behavior code has been developed by Ridge View High School to include recommendations from board policies.
