Salida Middle School Discipline Policy


Students and teachers have a right to a safe campus where mutual respect exists and learning is the primary objective.  The administration at Salida Middle School is committed to sustaining this climate through a system of positive recognition programs, student assistance interventions, and a variety of disciplinary consequences.  A pupil may be suspended or expelled for acts which are enumerated in this section and related to school activity or attendance which occur at any time, including but not limited to: 1) while on school grounds; 2) while going to or coming from school; 3) during the lunch period, whether on or off the campus; or 4) during, or while going to or coming from a school sponsored activity.  The Salida Middle School administration reserves the right to objectively determine discipline based on the seriousness of a particular infraction and discipline history.  Facts and other circumstances often require administrative prerogative.
