Level 2 Acts Of Misconduct In The Belle Valley School

The Belle Valley School District #119 handbook says that “students are prohibited from engaging in behavior that will endanger — or threaten to endanger — the safety of others, that will damage property, or that will impede the orderly operation of the school program.” With this statement, the district has come up with three levels of code of conduct that are in the parent/student handbook. Those three levels have different responses to the acts of misconduct. Level 1 acts of misconduct can be defined as: disruptive behavior in the classroom, tardies, lying, failure to follow directions, littering, improper bus conduct, dress code violation, hands on, pushing, shoving, etc, chewing gum/eating food/candy, computer/internet misuse, and violations

Repeated violations of acts from level 1 of misconduct can be moved to level 2 acts of misconduct with appropriate consequences at that level. Level 2 acts of misconduct can be defined as: forgery, verbal/non-verbal abuse/gestures, failure to serve previously assigned detentions, stealing school property/personal property, selling/gambling, cheating/academic dishonesty, insubordination/defiance/disrespect of school personnel, students in restricted areas, skipping class, leaving school groups without authorization, leaving class, possession/distraction of inappropriate items, threatening/bullying, acts of aggression, cell phone violation, public display of affection of inappropriate sexual behavior and other acts after school detention, in-school suspension, out-of-school suspension. Repeated violations of acts from level 2 of misconduct can be moved to level 3 acts of misconduct with appropriate consequences at that

The incident and behavior reports are all recorded in our online student information system called Teacherease.

The student denied the action, but the principal watched the video and saw that what was reported, was exactly what happened. The principal gave the boy two days of school suspension.
