VII. DISCIPLINE
TEACHER DETENTION: Teachers may assign detention for violations of class rules. Teacher detention is served either during lunch or before or after school. Know when and where you are to report for detention. Failure to serve detention will result in a referral to an administrator.
IN-SCHOOL SUSPENSION: In-school suspension is a program designed to modify student behavior while keeping the student in school with access to schoolwork. This program isolates the student from his / her peers in a controlled environment which makes him / her reconsider the appropriateness of his / her behavior. The alternative to ISS is out-of-school suspension. A student is ineligible for extra-curricular activities, athletic practices, and games during their ISS assignment. A student dismissed from ISS will receive OSS for the remainder of the ISS assigned days plus one day.
OUT-OF-SCHOOL SUSPENSION: Severe behavior infractions may result in a student being suspended from school, and certain behaviors always result in suspension due to Cobb County policy or local school policy.
• It is the student’ s responsibility to check CTLS for work.
• A suspended student will be allowed to make up work missed during the time of the suspension.
• All work missed during the suspension- except for major tests- is due at the beginning of each class the day a student returns from the suspension with no exceptions. Work not turned in to a teacher upon returning from suspension may receive a grade of zero.
• If an out-of-school suspension is for a total of more than ten school days, a student or his / her parents may petition the Policy and Planning Division of the Cobb County Schools central office for a hearing to appeal the suspension.
