Students are responsible for their own behavior and are expected to follow all campus rules and regulations.  These behavior expectations apply at any time students are on campus and at all school activities.  The Education Code also gives the school jurisdiction over student conduct on the way to school, or at school activities, at break and lunch and on the way home from school.  These basic expectations supplement the District’s broad discretionary authority to maintain safety, order, and discipline.

The following behaviors are inappropriate, unacceptable, and prohibited and may lead to suspension or, in some cases, expulsion from all District schools:

1.     Caused, attempted to cause, or threatened to cause physical injury to another person.
