issued by the school including the course name, total number of absences, and the absence designation
as excused or unexcused. Chronic absenteeism will result in a meeting with school staff and a referral to
Oakland County Truancy Officer and other county resources.
If an absence is unexcused, students may not be permitted to make up the work missed or due during
that period (this includes missed assessments/tests, labs, presentations, or other assignments). Any
absence that is not excused within 24 hours of the absence will remain an unexcused absence.
Range of Discipline
Each prohibited act listed in the Student Code of Conduct references the discipline which may be
imposed for a violation. The School District will also consider restorative practices as an addition or
alternative to discipline. The discipline for violating some prohibited acts ranges from administrative
intervention to expulsion. For other prohibited acts, the penalty ranges from suspension to expulsion.
For violation of the most serious prohibited acts, the penalty is expulsion. In cases where the stated
penalty is not expulsion but is set forth in terms of a range, the actual penalty imposed will depend upon
the nature and severity of the offense, the particular facts involved, the age of the student, the student's
prior behavioral record, the persistent and/or chronic nature of the misconduct, the recommendation of
school personnel, and all other circumstances deemed relevant.
A student violating any of the prohibited acts listed in this Student Code of Conduct will be disciplined in
accordance with the Code of Conduct. Additionally, a student who engages in a prohibited act which
violates law may be referred to the appropriate police authority.
The prohibited acts and penalties listed below are applicable when a student:
•
Engages in a prohibited act on school property;
•
Engages in a prohibited act in a motor vehicle, including one being used for a school-related
purpose;
•
Engages in a prohibited act at a school-related activity, function, or event;
•
Engages in a prohibited act enroute to or from school;
•
Engages in a prohibited act involving another student who is en route to or from school;
•
Engages in a prohibited act off school premises, which act is either prohibited by law or, in the
judgment of the building administrator, is of such seriousness that the student's continued
attendance in school would present a danger to the health and safety of students or employees,
and/or would substantially interfere with the proper functioning of the educational process; or
•
Engages in a prohibited act when the student was not enrolled in the Troy School District or was
enrolled in another school district, if the act of misconduct would constitute a sufficient basis for
suspension or expulsion had it occurred while the student was attending school in the Troy
School District.
