Juvenile Delinquents
Knox County Career Canter (KCCC) has a special place in my heart and in my life. It is where I went to high school my junior and senior year. While I attended, it was under a different administration and I experienced the discipline first hand. While I attended, the administration was harsh and was quick to expel, thus making it difficult for students to succeed and graduate once in trouble. In 2014 Mrs. Kathy Greenich became the superannuant and brought a new way of thinking to the discsapline of the students.

Lesser punishments include the freedom center which is a treatment facility for Tabaco and Alcohol in Knox County, also in school suspension and out of school suspensions. The students can be required to go to counsaling after their punishment is over in order to promote a change in their lives.
Handicapped Students

When a student does something wrong and they have a disability, a hearing has to be held to decide if their disability caused the problem or not. If it their disability did not cause the incident then they can be disciplined accordably. Everyone
