30-2. Conference Following Three Written Referrals

After a total of three written referrals for a student causing serious disruption as defined by the Student Code of Conduct, the principal or the principal’s designee shall convene a conference with the student, the teacher or teachers involved to discuss the student’s behavior, its impact on the classroom environment, and a diagnostic review of the academic, social and emotional needs of the student. School rules and interventions will be discussed and a plan to identify the restorative, instructive, and corrective measures to be taken will be reviewed. The student’s parent or legal guardian must be invited to attend. The school shall be represented at this conference by the principal or the principal’s designee. If the teacher or teachers involved and the principal or the principal’s designee agree that a procedure other than a parental conference would be most beneficial to the student or is required by law, that procedure may be substituted. If the student has an IEP, the case manager and appropriate special education providers should be notified and any plans created should be in alignment with the needs and program identified in the student’s individualized education program (IEP).
