I. Student Support and Behavior Intervention Handbook Revisions
Rationale

5 23 17 JCBE Work Session Audio

Board policies 09.428 Student Rights and 09.438 Student Support and Behavior Intervention Handbook and KRS 158.148 establish a process and timeline for the review of the Code of Acceptable Behavior and Discipline and The Student Bill of Rights (Code). 

In compliance with Board policies and Kentucky Revised Statutes, multiple committees have reviewed the current Code to recommend changes for the 2017–18 school year. Dr. Zeitz and her team conducted numerous opportunities for feedback including community forums, online feedback, and targeted individual stakeholder groups for feedback. Throughout this process, both internal and external stakeholders were involved in providing feedback. This year’s update is consistent with Vision 2020

The process for feedback and preliminary changes were shared with the Board at a work session on April 25.

The attached Student Support and Behavior Intervention Handbook includes recommended revisions or new language which is highlighted in yellow.

Submitted by: Dr. Katy Zeitz on behalf of Dr. Donna Hargens
