The discipline policy of the Summer Academy is
the same as those of the El Segundo Unified School District with
minor adaptations. |
Occasionally, a student may choose to behave
in a manner that is counterproductive to a well ordered, positive
learning environment. Individuals perceive the seriousness of
behavior from different perspectives. The following guidelines are
intended to help students, parents, and teachers make more
consistent judgments about what constitutes a behavior concern and
the appropriate consequences. Discipline policies are developed
following the California Education Code, ESUSD Board Policy, and
site faculty and staff upon recommendation from the summer staff.
These policies are reviewed and revised as the need arises. All
students, staff, parents, and members of the community are warmly
welcome to submit suggestions. |

Disruption of School Activities
Learning without Interruptions
Every adult and student has a right to teach and learn in a
disruption-free environment.
Everyone is expected to be in his/her seat, on-time, and ready for
instruction. Teacher and/or office aides must remain in their assigned
spot unless on a brief teacher directed task. Those found in the halls
without a pass may be detained.
Student behavior that disrupts school activities, diminishes a positive
school environment, or interferes with other students’ learning will, to
varying degrees, result in disciplinary consequences. Teachers and staff
will monitor student behavior and may employ the interventions listed
below when student behavior is disruptive to the learning environment.
Detention
Prior to assigning a detention teachers are expected to apply
interventions as is appropriate, (i.e., warning(s), classroom management
strategies to modify behavior). If disruptive behavior persists,
teachers are encouraged to assign a detention. Detentions are served
with the Summer Academy Director or with a designee. If the disruptive
behavior continues, the summer academy director will determine
appropriate action such as expulsion. |
Expulsion
If inappropriate behavior or conduct persists the student may be
expelled with NO REFUND of funds or fees. |
