Issues Surrounding Student Discipline

Training Provided by Lorman Education Services nStudent discipline impacts a student's civil and contractual rights, and it remains an area of potential liability for school districts relative to those rights. Of course, a failure to observe proper procedures and processes could also result in a reviewing body, reversing the discipline imposed in a particular case, thereby causing a substantial disruption of the educational process. Developing and adhering to a systemic process for student discipline is the most effective way to avoid such problematic results.
