There are incidences in which the schools are mandated by California Education Code Section 48900 to recommend expulsion from the Santa Cruz City Schools. Suspension from school is employed as a consequence only when other means of intervention have not been successful and/or when an unsafe condition has been created by the student’s behavior. Consequences for repeated behaviors or moderate to severe behaviors which interfere with the safe, learning environment for all students are detailed below. To that end, when a student engages in the behaviors listed below, our first response will be to educate students on the repercussions of their behavior and work with them to avoid such behavior in the future. We believe the goal of discipline is to change behavior, not to punish. We believe it is important for students and parents to understand the expectations of the staff in regards to behavior. We expect our schools to be free of put downs, slurs, harassment, intimidation and bullying including cyber bullying. We expect all students to act responsibly and respectfully and to conduct themselves in a healthy, self valuing manner as they work to achieve their academic and career goals. We believe that our first responsibility as educators is to support students in becoming safe and responsible adolescents and young adults. The Santa Cruz City Secondary Schools maintain a safe environment conducive to learning.
