Student Code of Conduct

Defines unacceptable student behavior; as including, but not limited to, behavior that negatively affects a student's ability to perform academically or socially, such as: bullying, harassment, sexual harassment, quid pro quo sexual harassment, which is when the perpetrator forces the victim to perform a favor or assume some responsibility for the harassment; or hostile-environment sexual harassment, which is when the perpetrator's behavior affects the victim's ability to perform effectively in the school environment. Requires each district-wide student code of conduct to establish policies and procedures to address bullying, harassment and sexual harassment.
