Best Practices
Suspensions should provide time to develop a plan to support students’ needs; suspension does NOT change a student’s behavior or abilities. Work with a student’s counselor when making disciplinary decisions. A re-entry meeting should be held for every student returning from a suspension; during this meeting schools should: Review the expectations and interventions in place Check in with the student and parent(s) to ensure they understand the expectations of return Consider supports for the student that may include academic and social skill building Identify a staff member to serve as an adult advocate for the student
How can we prevent it from happening again?
What issues will this student face upon return?
What supports can we provide to this student?
What caused the issue?
All suspended students have the right to make up work missed and should not be punished academically for their suspension
