Student Handbook - Cory-Rawson Local Schools

For more serious incidents, more than one day of after school detention may be assigned
or an in-school suspension may be assigned. The student will be counted as present, but
as an “excused absence” for classes. The student will be given work to do during the
term of suspension and will be given credit for work completed while in the in-school
suspension. The student will lose any early release privilege and will be denied
participation in any extracurricular activities scheduled on or between the dates of
suspension.
OUT OF SCHOOL SUSPENSION OR EXPULSION
Will take place under the following guidelines:
• The principal or superintendent must give written and oral notice of the intention to
suspend the student.
• The student must be given the opportunity to respond to the charges at an informal
hearing before the principal or superintendent.
• The parent/guardian will be notified in writing as to the suspension, the reasons for
suspension, and the right of the parent/guardian to appeal the decision.
Students having an out of school suspension will be counted absent and unexcused. They
are not allowed to make-up work missed during the suspension.
DUE PROCESS
Due process of law shall be given to each student in the event of suspension or expulsion
in accordance with Sections 3313.66 and 3313.661 of the Ohio Revised Code.
When a student is being considered for these disciplinary procedures, the administrator I
charge will notify the student of the reason and will give written and oral notice of the
intention to suspend the student. The student will then be given the opportunity to
explain his/her side at the informal hearing before the administrator. After the informal
hearing, the administrator will make a decision whether or not to suspend. If a student is
suspended, he/she and his/her parents will be notified in writing within one day of the
reason for and the length of the suspension. You have the right to appeal the decision to
the superintendent.
GUIDANCE PROGRAM
The Guidance Program is an effort on the part of the school to help students help
themselves so that they can make wise decisions in planning and carrying out educational
plans, adjusting to personal problems, and getting along in everyday life.
We feel that all faculty members, to some degree, are part of the guidance program and
help to carry out its goals. The counselor realizes that each individual is unique.
Counseling provides an opportunity for them to talk over their concerns with the
counselor. The nature of their conversation is held in strict confidence.
