Richland County School District One

HEARING OFFICE
Discipline Creed

The Board of Commissioners for Richland County School District One believes that it is the responsibility of students, parents and staff to see that students attend school and condut themselves in an appropriate manner while there. Discipline is a shared responsibility, and student behavior is important to the entire education process. Without it, teachers cannot teach, and students cannot learn. All students are expected to follow the rules established by the school district and each school. Everyone is entitled to a safe, secure, orderly environment in which to learn and work. The rules and regulations presented in the Discipline Code are designed toward that end and are effective during the following times and places:

On school property;
Waiting for the school bus at designated stops;
Going to and from school;
On a school bus or other school vehicle;

Participating in or attending school-sponsored or school-related activities, such as field trips, conferences or athletic events.

Students, parents and staff are encouraged to become familiar with the rules and regulations in the Discipline Code. If you have any questions, please contact your school's principal or the Richland One Hearing Office.
