Last Updated On: June 25, 2025
In all cases the minimum disciplinary action taken could be counseling with the maximum disciplinary action being expulsion.
- Counseling the first measure tried in confronting most discipline problems will be to counsel the student. Proper counseling often results in improving student behavior. The teacher should have a conference with the student when undesirable behavior occurs. Conferences that involve various combinations of the student, teacher, counselor, administrator, and parent offer a promise of assistance in correcting discipline problems.
- Lunch Detention – a determined amount of time given up by a student in an assigned area during their lunch breaks for minor disciplinary infractions and/or tardies.
