JIA

Before a student is suspended from school, the student has a right to the due process guaranteed by our Constitution. Any student accused of an action and facing possible suspension for this action must be granted a hearing before an administrator. During this hearing, the student must be appraised of the charges against him/her and must be given an opportunity to respond to them. A parent/guardian must be notified of all suspensions. The parent and/or student has the right to appeal any suspension in excess of ten (10) days to the Epsom School Board. Regulations and procedures regarding the disciplinary code will be summarized in the handbook distributed to students yearly.
