DISCIPLINE
Student Discipline It is the policy of the Enfield Board of Education( the“ Board”) to create a school environment that promotes respect of self, others, and property within the Enfield Public Schools( the“ District”). Compliance with this policy will enhance the Board and the District’ s ability to maintain discipline and reduce interference with the educational process that can result from student misconduct. Pursuant to this policy, the District shall promote the utilization of consistent discipline practices, both within and across schools in the District, while also promoting the consideration of individual circumstances arising in each student disciplinary matter. Where appropriate, the District implements strategies that teach, encourage, and reinforce positive student behavior that do not require engagement with the discipline system.
