Student Code of Conduct.
Initial Appeal Process

An appeal must be initiated in writing (email or letter) to the building principal and/or building
athletic coordinator within five (5) school days of the date the disciplinary action was
communicated.
The building principal or athletic coordinator will convene a meeting within two (2) school days of
receiving the appeal. This meeting will include the student, the coach, and may also include the
parent/guardian.
Following the meeting, the building principal or athletic coordinator will issue a written decision
within two (2) school days, stating whether the disciplinary action is upheld, modified, or revoked.
Further Appeal

through the school athletic coordinator or district director of athletics to the MHSAA directly. These
appeals follow a separate process governed by MHSAA policy, and all decisions made by the MHSAA are
final and binding at the state level.
