Revised student discipline plan sets new consequences for fighting
What happened
On October 26, 2026, the board approved a revised student behavior management plan. It adds the district's definition of bullying. It also sets separate consequences for fighting and assault for pre-K to grade 3: 1-2 days of in-school or out-of-school suspension for a first offense and 3-4 days for a second, with long-term suspension still possible for repeat offenses.
Why it matters to families
These rules decide how students, including the youngest children, are disciplined for fighting.
