Offense #19 (ES) and #18 (MS & HS) - Moved falsifying report to #19 on ES chart and #18 on MS & HS chart rather than under Interfering with School Activities.

Code of Conduct Committee Updates Page 82-83 (MS) and 87-88 (HS) – Removal of “Cheating or copying the work of another / Academic dishonesty” from Level I to now be at Level II for MS and HS Discipline Charts. Page 98 – In School Suspension-Restrictions/Prohibitions - Changed restriction to be in place until the end of the instructional day of the last day of the assignment (instead of the next school day) to allow participation at the end of instructional day and the completion of their last day of placement in ISS. Now reads: A student assigned ISS is prohibited from attending or participating in school-sponsored or school-related competition on or off school property during the calendar day(s) on which the assignment applies through the end of the instructional day of the last day of placement in ISS. If the student receives additional assignments while serving an ISS placement, this prohibition is extended for all consecutive assignments through the end of the instructional school day of placement in ISS. Page 99 – Out of School Suspension-Restrictions/Prohibitions - Changed restriction to be the day following the last day of suspension (instead of next school day) to align with practices and guides within the Administrative Discipline Guide. Now reads: A student who is assigned an Out-of-School Suspension (OSS) is prohibited from being on any school campus or property and from attending or participating in school-sponsored or school-related activities on or off school property, including practice, until the day following the last day of the Out of School Suspension (OSS) assignment. ISS - Why change? With previous wording, participation being the next school day caused students are doubly disciplined for the evening event on the last day even though the suspension is complete at the end of the school day. OSS – Why change? With previous wording, participation being the next school day causes students to be doubly disciplined for any weekend events that fall after the last day even though the suspension was complete the last calendar day of the placement. Keep in mind that students in extra-curricular activities may be held to an additional disciplinary consequence if the offense causes the student to fall within their second or third offense (possible suspension from extra-curricular activities).
