School Policies and Procedures - Student Rights and Responsibilities

Students have the privilege to attend school and learn. It is their right to expect respect from other students and school employees while at school, on the bus, or at school activities. When made aware, it is the responsibility of the school system to protect students from sexual harassment and physical or verbal abuse from other students and school employees. Students have the responsibility to follow published district, school, and classroom rules. Students who are accused of violating the rules or displaying improper conduct will be informed of the violation and will be provided with a chance to explain their position except when their presence in school could endanger other students.

Free Speech/Expression

Philosophical Basis

One of education’s basic purposes is to prepare students for responsible self-expression in a democratic society. The rights of citizens in our democratic society to freedom of speech are protected under the United States Constitution. Full opportunity should be provided for students to inquire, question, and exchange ideas. They should be encouraged to participate in discussions in which many points of view, including those, which are controversial, are freely and respectfully expressed. However, the right to freedom of speech may not infringe upon the rights of others or disturb the educational process.

Rights

  1. The Pledge of Allegiance is a statement of American ideals, and every student shall be protected in his/her right to affirm self identity with these ideals; however, students who, because of religious or other deep personal convictions, do not wish to participate in the salute to the flag shall maintain an attitude of respect while others recite the Pledge. Administrators and staff reserve the right to call a meeting with the student sponsor to discuss the reasons for refusing to stand for the pledge.
  2. Students have the right to be free from proselytizing by religious and political groups.
  3. Students have the right to refrain from any activity that violates the precepts of their religion.

Responsibilities

  1. Students have the responsibility to act in a manner, which preserves the dignity of the occasion.
  2. Students have the responsibility to respect the religious beliefs of others.
  3. Students have the responsibility to respect the rights of others, who have differing viewpoints, and to express themselves on those issues with which they disagree in a manner which does not infringe upon the rights of others or interfere with the orderly educational process of the school.
  4. To safeguard books, materials, monies, and/or other personal valuables. The school cannot be responsible for student valuables
