The district recognizes that schools play a critical role in promoting the health and safety of all learners. School personnel, together with students, families and members of the greater Lowell community must work together through a collaborative approach to ensure the safety of all members of the community throughout the course of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Regulations related to COVID-19 continue to evolve. LPS must remain nimble to adapt as new variants of the virus emerge, new research findings are released and the efficacy of available vaccines is assessed. For the 2021-2022 academic year, LPS will follow all guidance regarding COVID-19 safety protocols provided by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) which continues to work in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH).

The superintendent shall adjust safety protocols for all LPS schools if required at any time by DESE or as required at any time in consultation with the City of Lowell to adhere to safety requirements which may be later established for Lowell’s public buildings.

Masks and Face Coverings As of July 30, 2021, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in consultation with the MA Department of Public Health has provided the following guidance for masks and face coverings for students, staff and visitors, ranging from optional to required: 1. Strongly recommend all students in kindergarten through grade 6 wear masks when indoors, except students who cannot do so due to medical conditions or behavioral needs. Masks are not necessary outdoors and may be removed while eating indoors. 2. Strongly recommend that unvaccinated staff in all grades, unvaccinated students in grades 7 and above, and unvaccinated visitors wear masks indoors. 3. Recommend that schools allow vaccinated students to remain unmasked. 4. Encourage any individual at higher risk for severe disease from COVID or with a household member who is at high risk to mask regardless of vaccination status. 5. Support any child or family who prefers to mask at school at any time. 6. Require, by federal public health order, all students and staff to wear masks on school buses at this time. 7. Require all staff and students to wear masks while in school health offices. Additional guidance for school health professionals is forthcoming from DPH.

COVID-19 Testing and Quarantining LPS will continue to maintain a robust plan for COVID-19 testing in schools to include the screening (pooled) testing for students and staff while DESE and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services continue to offer these services at no cost to the District.

LPS will apply for the statewide COVID-19 testing program as soon as it becomes available to minimize the number of students required to quarantine outside of school, and will adhere to the following DESE guidance for quarantining of staff and students:

● Districts in the statewide testing program will be able to implement a new “test and stay” 2021-2022 COVID-19 Safety Protocols Draft for First Reading - 8/11/21 protocol in lieu of requiring asymptomatic close contacts to quarantine. ● Under test and stay, asymptomatic close contacts will have the option to remain in school and be tested daily with BinaxNOW for at least 5 days. ● Vaccinated staff and students are exempt from quarantine.

Medically Approved Extended Absences On March 5, 2021, the MA Board of Elementary and Secondary Education adopted amendments to the Student Learning Time regulations on an emergency basis. These amendments provide the Commissioner of Education with the authority to determine when hybrid and remote models will and will not count toward meeting the required student learning time hours. 603 CMR 27.08(2)(d). For the 2021-2022 academic year, remote learning has not been approved for student learning time under any circumstances related to COVID-19.

In circumstances of medically approved absences related to COVID-19:

1. For students, requests will continue to follow the relevant procedures outlined in section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA).

Home teaching or tutoring may be provided for those students who cannot attend regular classes because of certified medical or special needs reasons, each of which must be documented by a medical statement or an official Individual Education Plan (IEP) as described in the LPS policy manual.

Home teaching assignments may be coordinated by an appropriate building leader. A tutor (certified instructor approved by the LPS) will be assigned to support homebound instruction. Expectations regarding grading and credits will be worked out before and as part of the arrangements, procedure, and implementation of the home teaching or tutoring effort. The tutor will coordinate the work and evaluation with the respective teacher and the Department Head of each subject covered.

2. For employees, requests for medical leave will continue to follow the procedures outlined in the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA), in accordance with all relevant LPS policies.

Eligible LPS staff may also request a full year of unpaid leave, following the relevant provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreements. Fall In-Person Learning: DESE’s and DPH’s Regulations for a Safe Return

DESE Commissioner’s Guidance (as of 7/30/21)

Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Commissioner, Jeﬀrey Riley, released new guidance on July 30, 2021 containing requirements for in-person learning in the Fall. The following passages are contained with in the guidance documents:

Massachusetts has among the highest vaccination rates of any state in the nation 1, and evidence continues to reinforce that the COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, especially against severe disease 2.

At the same time, even for those students not yet vaccinated, the apparent risk of COVID-19 to children remains small.

Vaccination is a critical strategy in mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on in-person learning.

Additional guidance for school health professionals is forthcoming from DPH. 6 DESE & DPH COVID 19 Testing Protocols

Lowell Public Schools will continue to maintain a robust plan for COVID-19 testing in schools to include the screening (pooled) testing for students and staff. DESE and the Executive Office of Health and Human Services will continue to offer these services at no cost to our district.

Diagnostic testing, such as the BinaxNOW rapid antigen test, is an important tool for use in testing asymptomatic close contacts as part of updated quarantine guidance provided by DESE and DPH. The district will be able to sign up for the statewide COVID-19 testing program as soon as it becomes available later in August to minimize the number of students required to quarantine outside of school. 7 Lowell Public Schools

DESE & DPH Quarantining Guidance

● Districts in the statewide testing program will be able to implement a new “test and stay” protocol in lieu of requiring asymptomatic close contacts to quarantine.

● Under test and stay, asymptomatic close contacts will have the option to remain in school and be tested daily with BinaxNOW for at least 5 days.

● Vaccinated staff and students are exempt from quarantine. 8 Lowell Public Schools Options for Medically Approved Extended Absences

Home teaching or tutoring may be provided for those students who cannot attend regular classes because of certified medical or special needs reasons each of which must be documented by a medical statement or an official Individual Education Plan (IEP) as described in the LPS policy manual.

Home teaching assignments may be coordinated by an appropriate building leader. A tutor (certified instructor approved by the Lowell School Department) will be assigned to support homebound instruction. Expectations regarding grading and credits will be worked out before and as part of the arrangements, procedure, and implementation of the home teaching or tutoring effort. The tutor will coordinate the work and evaluation with the respective teacher and the Department Head of each subject covered.

IHBF - HOMEBOUND INSTRUCTION

This is not remote learning. On March 5, 2021, the MA Board of Elementary and Secondary Education adopted amendments to the Student Learning Time regulations on an emergency basis. These amendments provide the Commissioner of Education with the authority to determine when hybrid and remote models will and will not count toward meeting the required student learning time hours. 603 CMR 27.08(2)(d). For the 2021-2022 academic year, remote learning has not been approved for student learning time under any circumstances related to COVID-19 9 Lowell Public Schools Options for Leaves of Absences

FMLA - Employees may apply for paid leave under the provisions of the Family Medical Leave Act. Applications will require medical documentation. Such applications should be ﬁled with Mrs. Debra Jarvis of the HR oﬃce.

Unpaid Leaves of Absence- Employees may apply for an unpaid leave of absence for the 2021-2022 school year by ﬁling a request with the HR oﬃce. If you intend to request such a year long, unpaid leave, please do so immediately.

Provisions for leaves are also detailed in Collective Bargaining Agreements. 10 Lowell Public Schools

Next Steps

Regulations related to COVID-19 continue to evolve. LPS must remain nimble to adapt as new variants of the virus emerge, as new research ﬁndings are released and the eﬃcacy of available vaccines is assessed.

For the 2021-2022 academic year, LPS will follow all guidance regarding COVID-19 safety protocols provided by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) which continues to work in collaboration with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH).

Dr. James Hall Chief Operang Oﬃce Lowell Public Schools, Oﬃce of Finance and Operaons 155 Merrimack St. Lowell, MA 01852

Dr. Hall;

This email serves as a follow-up to our recent telephone conversaons. My opinion on a mask mandate for the Lowell Public Schools is that I strongly encourage it. We have not discussed this at a Board of Health Meeng as the Board does not meet unl September 1, 2021, so I speak as the Chairperson only.

My opinion is based on the following:

1) Masks are eﬀecve at migang the spread of COVID-19, and all migaon measures should be ulized in our schools to keep our children IN school all year. 2) All migaon measures are vital given that the current COVID variant is approximately 50% more contagious than the Alpha variant (which was 50% more contagious than the original Wuhan strain.) 3) Masks are recommend even for those vaccinated because some vaccinated folks infected with the Delta variant may be contagious and able to transmit the virus. 4) COVID-19 cases among children have been on the rise in the US since early July. Approximately 94,000 cases among children were added in the past week, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. About 200 children with COVID-19 were admied to US hospitals every day over the past week. Fortunately, a vast majority of cases in children haven’t required hospitalizaon. 5) The COVID-19 cases are on the rise in Lowell as well as statewide. Lowell’s vaccinaon rate is approximately 9% lower than the State average (large pool of suscepble people).

I trust that this brief summary of the (unfortunate) science of this virus will help aid in your decision making process. It is important to use every measure available to keep our children in school this year. The focus on primary prevenon is two-fold: vaccinang our children and prevenng the spread of infecon, with proven migaon measures (masks).

FACE COVERINGS

The ______District is committed to providing a safe environment in schools during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Maintaining a safe environment is critical to the Districts ability to returning students to a full-time classroom learning experience.

According to public health experts, one of the best ways to stop the spread of coronavirus and to keep members of our school community safe is the use of face masks or face coverings. Therefore, using the guidance and recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH), the District has established the following requirements which will remain in place until further notice.

A face covering that covers the nose and mouth must be worn by all individuals in school buildings and on school transportation. Face coverings must also be worn outside when social distancing cannot be observed.

Individuals may be excused from the requirement for the following list of reasons, per CDC guidance:

The individual:  has trouble breathing.  is unconscious.  in incapacitated.  cannot remove the mask or face covering without assistance.

In addition, masks or face coverings will not be required for anyone who has a medical, behavioral or other challenge making it unsafe to wear a face mask or face covering. A written note from a physician is required for a requested exemption. Parents may not excuse their child from the face mask requirement by signing a waiver.

Additionally, face masks or face coverings will not be required when appropriate social distancing is enforced:  during mask breaks.  while eating or drinking.  during physical education classes.  while outside.

Exceptions to this policy under certain circumstances, such as for students with medical, behavioral or other challenges who are unable to wear masks, must be approved by the building principal in consultation with the school nurse or local Board of Health. Face shields or physical barriers may provide an alternative in some instances. A student’s mask or face covering is to be provided by the student’s family. Staff members are responsible for providing their own face coverings. However, the district will supply disposable face covering for individuals who arrive at a building, or board school transportation, without one.

If students are in violation of this policy, the building principal will consult with the parent/guardians to determine whether an exception is appropriate, or the student may be removed from the school building for in-person learning until such time as they can comply with the requirement, or the requirement is lifted.

Violations of this policy by staff will be handled in the same manner as other violations of School Committee policy.

Visitors in violation of this policy will be denied entry to the school/district facility.

This policy will remain in place until rescinded by the School Committee.

1-10 Student Procedural Matters Expectations

Common sense and the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts require the Lowell School Committee to adopt a set of procedures, policies, and rules to regulate the conduct of students in the Lowell Public Schools. These rules and regulations are intended to safeguard students and to provide a safe and orderly environment in which they may learn and grow. The rules are not demanding, difficult or unreasonable. They are based on common courtesy and respect for the general good of all.

To our students: We ask for your cooperation. Read this handbook carefully. Get to know what is expected of you - what is right and what is wrong. With this knowledge you can make good decisions about your conduct in school.

To the parents or guardians of our students: We ask you to support these rules and regulations. Review them with your children and reinforce the idea that school is a community and that if all members of this community (the students and staff) are courteous, respectful and thoughtful then school will be a pleasant, productive and meaningful experience.

We encourage you to contact your children’s teachers and building administrators with any questions or concerns you may have. Attending parent/teacher conferences, school functions, school sponsored family activities and working collaboratively with the school staff will enhance your children’s educational experience.

This is a reasonable framework upon which responsible people can build a community of learners. The school administration reserves the right to take any action deemed necessary and appropriate, whether or not specifically addressed herein.

Essence of a School

1-13 Student Procedural Matters Academic Policies

Promotion/Retention Policy—Elementary Schools

Student Progress, Promotion and Retention Policies - Elementary Schools

The administration and teaching staff strive to create plans of instruction and instructional organization that provide the maximum opportunity for a student to progress through school according to their own needs and abilities without the stigma of failure or retention. All students are entitled to promotion upon satisfactory completion of the previous year’s work. Grading and promotion will be based on the improvement, achievement, capability of the student, and the professional judgment of the teacher and principal.

Please note that multiple factors are considered in promotion or retention recommendations by the teacher and the Principal when making recommendations for promotion or retention of elementary students. A thorough examination of the child’s record takes place, with specific notice of attendance, tardiness, academic progress, academic performance, developmental readiness, and any other applicable indicators of the student’s potential for success in the next grade.

In any instance in which there is a recommendation of promotion by the teacher and Principal, and the parent is in disagreement, Lowell Public Schools recognizes the right of the parents to request that their child be retained. All requests by parents to retain their child for the coming year, must be made in writing to the Superintendent and explain the parent’s rationale for retention. In any instance of admittance, promotion and/or placement, final decision will rest with the Superintendent, except in those cases requiring a vote of the school committee.

Promotion/Retention Policy—Middle Schools The administration and teaching staff will provide a challenging educational environment in order to maximize the opportunity for each student to progress through middle school according to his/her own needs and abilities without the stigma of failure or retention. Academics In order to be promoted to the next grade, middle school students must earn: 1. English and Mathematics: ● Final passing grade of 65 or better in English. ● Final passing grade of 65 or better in all Mathematics classes. ● Students who earn a final grade between 60 and 64 will be provisionally retained and with permission of the principal, must attend Summer School in order to be promoted. ● Students who earn a final grade below 60 will be retained.

2. Other Core Academic areas: Reading, Writing, Social Studies, Science ● Cumulative final average of 65 or better in all academic classes. ● Students who earn a cumulative, final average between 60 and 64 will be provisionally retained. ● Students who earn a final grade below 60 will be retained.

3. Allied Arts: ● Cumulative final average of 65 or better in all other allied arts classes. ● Students who earn a cumulative final average between 60 and 64 will be provisionally retained.

1-14 Student Procedural Matters ● Students who earn a final grade below 60 will be retained. Grading ● 1st marking period – A grade no lower than 60 can be given in any subject area. ● Subsequent marking periods – A grade no lower than 55 can be given in any subject area.

Attendance ● Four (4) or more excused or unexcused absences per marking period MAY result in a school attendance hearing at the discretion of the Principal. ● Unexcused absences of between 16-25 days for a school year will result in Retention/Provisional Promotion in Middle School and may result in grade retention in Elementary School. ● Unexcused absences over 25 days will result in retention.

Retention/Provisional Promotion ● Summer School, when budgeted and with Principal approval, is a requirement for students who meet the stipulated grade and absence criteria. A Failure Intervention Plan will be developed at the school level for students in danger of failing one or more classes in lieu of Summer School. ● A child can take no more than two (2) academic courses in summer school. ● A child may have no more than three (3) absences during the summer school program.

Student Procedural Matters

Arrivals and Dismissals Students and families will follow school specific health and safety protocols for arrival and dismissal to ensure the health and safety of everyone. ● Arrival: Student arrival should not be any earlier than 15 minutes before the start of the school day. ● Dismissal: Upon dismissal at the close of the school day, students are to leave promptly, unless they are detained by a teacher or administrator, or are participating in a supervised school activity.

No School/Delay of School Announcements On stormy days, the NO SCHOOL or DELAY OF SCHOOL announcements will be made through a ConnectEd call home and posted on the Lowell Public School website. Announcements will also be publicized on the local radio station WCAP – 980 AM, televised on Channels 4, 5, 7 and 25 and posted on social media. Do not call police or fire headquarters. It is the responsibility of parents to determine whether conditions during inclement weather are such that their child should not go to school on days school is in session. This is not considered an excused absence. In the case of a delay, there will be specific information about the time of the delay. For example, if there is a one hour (60 minute) delay then school will start one hour later than the regularly scheduled time. School buses will pick up children one hour later than the normal pick-up time. No breakfast will be served at school. Dismissal will occur at the regular time.

Registration—Family Resource Center

All students entering the Lowell Public School System for the first time must register at the Family Resource Center for a school assignment. The Family Resource Center, located at 151 Merrimack Street, is open year round.

If you are living with a Lowell resident and cannot provide proof of residency, you will need to complete a third party affidavit. Both of you (child’s parent/guardian and the Lowell resident with whom you are living) must fill out the form and have it notarized. The Lowell resident will need to have a photo id and a current utility bill.

Please have a conversation with us if you are unable to produce sufficient documentation or if your housing is insecure as you may qualify for McKinney-Vento services.

All students entering the Lowell Public School System for the first time, all students who have moved within the city of Lowell, and all students wishing to transfer from one public school to another within the Lowell Public School System, must register at the Family Resource Center for a school assignment.

Every year a new card is filled out for each student. It is important that any change in information be forwarded to the principal immediately. We must have an accurate phone number for the parent/guardian of every student at all times and a minimum of two emergency contact numbers.

Prohibited Items The following items are considered disruptive to the educational process in Lowell Public Schools and are not allowed in school:

● Cell Phones and communication devices such as Apple watch ● Video Games ● Radios, iPods and other Walkman Type Devices ● Hand Held Laser Pointers ● Playing Cards ● Tobacco Products (including hookahs) ● E-Cigarettes (vape) ● Lighter/Matches (possession will lead to immediate suspension) ● Skateboards/Scooters/Roller Blades/Heelys/Hoverboards ● Other Items or Devices deemed inappropriate by the Principal

Students displaying and/or using these devices will have the device confiscated and may receive disciplinary action including suspension. Though the school will secure the device, the ultimate responsibility for any loss or damage remains with the student who brought the prohibited item to school. A parent or guardian must come into school to pick up the item. Playing cards, tobacco products, lighter, and matches will not be returned. All confiscated items must be claimed by the last day of the school year, any item(s) not claimed will be disposed of one week after the official end of the school year.

Earbuds/Headphones Students must be able to hear the intercom and directives from staff at all times to ensure safety. For this reason students are not allowed to wear earbuds in school. Ear buds will be confiscated and not returned until the end of the school year or until a parent/guardian comes in to collect the article. The only exception to this prohibition applies to teachers who allow the use of earbuds in the classroom for educational purposes, but the earbuds must be put away before exiting the classroom.

Proper Dress It is expected that all students in Lowell Public Schools will be appropriately attired while in school. Additionally, students must follow current health and safety requirements, such as wearing a mask while at school, until updated information and expectations are communicated. In keeping with the preceding, dress that tends to disrupt the class or contributes to a safety hazard in class is prohibited. In the spirit of maintaining an orderly and safe learning environment, students are prohibited from wearing any article of

1-17 Student Procedural Matters clothing or carrying any backpack or other accessory which is lewd, which promotes violence or hate for any individuals or groups, or which degrades the beliefs of others. Also prohibited is the wearing of studded accessories, jewelry or chains, which could be utilized as weapons. Students who violate this policy will be directed to remove the offensive or unsafe items before being allowed to remain in school. Students are also prohibited from wearing any apparel that hinders identification. Students who refuse to adhere with this policy will be in violation of school rules and penalized accordingly.

Hats and Coats In addition to the above regarding proper dress, students are not permitted to wear hats and coats in classrooms, corridors or public school assemblies. Modifications to the dress policy, hat policy and coat policy may be issued by the Principal when necessitated by extenuating circumstances such as medical or religious reasons and extremely hot/cold weather. Students must put all hats in their assigned lockers prior to the start of school. Students found wearing hats will have the hat confiscated until the end of the year or until a parent/guardian comes in to collect the article. Subsequent offenses may result in further disciplinary action and long term confiscation.

Fire/Evacuation Procedures Every student must realize that when the fire alarm sounds, this alarm is to be considered serious. Therefore, each student must follow instructions immediately and quietly. Students must pass quickly, but in good order, from the building. Disruption of the fire drill is a major violation and could be cause for a suspension or expulsion.

In the event of an emergency that poses a hazard to the safety of the students, the school population will be evacuated to a predetermined site. This information is on file in the school offices as well as at the Central Office.

Safety Drills To help ensure the safety of students and faculty, safety drills, coordinated with local police and fire departments, are conducted periodically during the school year. These drills include fire drills, evacuation drills, transportation evacuation drills, soft lockdowns and options based response. Disruption of the safety drill is a major violation and could be cause for a suspension or expulsion.

1-18 Student Procedural Matters Student Lockers/Desks Locks are not allowed in Elementary Schools. In Middle Schools, only approved school locks can be used. Locks other than those approved by school administrators will be removed or cut off by school personnel.

All lockers and desks must be emptied at the end of the school year and/or other times as required by school officials. Certain items may not be stored in lockers or desks. These include, but are not limited to such items as: weapons or dangerous chemicals, materials, instruments or devices; illegal or controlled drugs, look alike drugs, drug paraphernalia, alcoholic beverages; stolen property, or any other item which can result in unsanitary or non-hygienic conditions. Foodstuff or other perishable materials must not be left in the locker overnight. Students are to use only lockers assigned to them by the school administration. Emergency or unannounced inspections or searches may be carried out by school officials and other appropriate personnel (such as firefighters, police) to safeguard students and provide a safe and orderly environment. Special Notice – The Lowell School Department reserves the right to collaborate with law enforcement officials to bring in trained dogs to detect drugs and other banned substances in emergency situations.

Students are encouraged to participate in these programs, which are provided to enhance the total educational program. Students at any school-related activity who are involved in behavior that constitutes major violations of student conduct will be subject to disciplinary action.

Student Support Services Guidance and Counseling Programs function to assist all pupils to: ● Assess and understand their abilities, aptitudes, interests and educational needs ● Increase their understanding of educational and occupational opportunities and requirements ● Help them make the best possible use of these opportunities through the formulation and achievement of personal social adjustments ● Provide information useful to school staff members, parents and community in planning and evaluating the school’s total program

Options for meeting in person or virtually will be made available. When entering a school building, all visitors must adhere to the posted guidelines for social distancing and use of personal protective equipment (e.g. masks). Failure to abide by the rules may result in a request for removal from school grounds.

Food Service As part of the 2010 Healthy and Hunger-Free Kids Act, Lowell Public Schools offers free breakfast and lunch to all students during both in-person and remote learning. For schools that means no more lunch forms or asking parents to pay for balances. For parents, that means no more forms to fill out, no online meal account to remember, no last minute scramble for change before the bus and no more lunch boxes to pack. All students can eat for free! Please refer to the Food Services website for the most updated information on how to access meals.

What Parents Need to Know For those schools that are providing breakfast directly in the classroom, your child can simply take the breakfast items that are offered. For other schools, the child can simply go to the cafeteria or breakfast cart in the morning and eat breakfast. For lunch, the student can simply enter the lunch line and take a meal. All students will still need to have their meals recorded at the register.

What is served at breakfast and lunch? What are my child’s choices? During breakfast, we offer two grains (or one grain and one protein), two fruits and a milk. All your child needs to do is take at least 3 menu items (with one being a fruit) to be considered a free meal. During lunch, we serve grain, protein, vegetables, fruit and milk. All your child needs to do is take at least 3 different items offered (one being a fruit or a vegetable) to be considered a free meal. Check the LPS website to view menus: https://lowellk12ma.nutrislice.com/menu/

What if my child only wants milk or a single item? We are only reimbursed by the USDA for complete meals. If your child only wants milk or a single menu item then those items are available for

1-20 Student Procedural Matters cash purchase on an individual basis; for example, milk costs 35 cents. In order to be free, your child must take a complete meal consisting of three different items (one being a fruit or vegetable).

Lowell Public Schools Face Mask Recommendations

In compliance with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Public Health (DPH) updated 8/2/2021:

● It is strongly recommended that all students in kindergarten through grade 6 wear masks when indoors, except students who cannot do so due to medical conditions or behavioral needs. Masks are not necessary outdoors and may be removed while eating indoors. ● It is also strongly recommended that unvaccinated staff in all grades, unvaccinated students in grades 7 and above, and unvaccinated visitors wear masks indoors, in alignment with the statewide advisory on masking. ● In accordance with DESE and DPH it is recommended that schools allow vaccinated students to remain unmasked. ● Any individual at higher risk for severe disease from COVID-19 or with a household member who is at high risk is encouraged to mask regardless of vaccination status consistent with the updated DPH Advisory on Face Coverings and Masks. ● Any child or family who prefers to mask at school should be supported in this choice. ● By federal public health order, all students and staff are required to wear masks on school buses at this time. ● All staff and students must wear masks while in school health offices. ● Masks will be available for students and staff upon request.

General considerations if using a face mask:

● The mouth and nose are fully covered and the covering fits snugly against the sides of the face so there are no gaps. ● The cloth face covering does not constrict or create difficulty breathing while wearing. ● The cloth face covering is tied or otherwise secured to prevent slipping. ● Avoid touching your face as much as possible. ● Keep the covering clean. Clean hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer immediately, before putting on, after touching or adjusting, and after removing the cloth face covering. ● In general, face masks should be washed regularly (e.g., daily and whenever soiled). Follow laundry instructions as directed. ● Do mark the mask with your initials or name in permanent ink. ● Do dispose of one-time use masks in the trash can. ● Don’t touch the outside of your mask while it is on your face. ● Don’t share it with anyone else. ● Don’t pull your mask below your chin while you are wearing it. Leaving the mask dangling or improperly fitted to your face creates opportunities for cross-contamination.

1-21 Student Procedural Matters If wearing a mask, it is recommended that face masks be plain and/or include LPS or college/university logo masks. However, ultimately all masks must follow the school dress code:

“In the spirit of maintaining an orderly and safe learning environment, students are prohibited from wearing any article of clothing or carrying any backpacks or other accessories which are lewd, which promote violence or hate for any individuals or groups, or which degrade the beliefs of others”.

Any other dress that distracts, disrupts, intimidates, or provokes can be deemed inappropriate by the Principal or designee.

Additional Considerations for Students who are wearing masks:

The student may need a mask break. In general, mask breaks should be scheduled at regular intervals that all students are aware and reminded of.

Build opportunities for students to take mask breaks. Wearing a mask for hours can put a strain on students. Schedule specific times during the day for students to briefly and safely remove their masks for a more comfortable experience while at school.

For elementary students, teachers may benefit from guidance to support their entire classroom with mask breaks for students. In middle and high-school settings, a schoolwide schedule for mask breaks is more likely necessary.

1-22 Student Procedural Matters Conduct and Behavior

The rules noted in this handbook are for the protection of personal rights. They are based on normal courtesy and respect for others and include social as well as academic responsibilities. These rules are not meant to be exhaustive or comprehensive enough to include all of the possible situations, behaviors, and consequences of behaviors that violate policy, procedure, or State or Federal Law.

Social Responsibilities A student’s social responsibilities include good citizenship. In schools, good citizenship is based on respect and consideration for the rights of others. All students in Lowell’s public schools are expected to conduct themselves in such a way that the rights and privileges of others are upheld. Good citizenship includes a student’s responsibility to: ● respect authority ● understand and adhere to school rules as well as health and safety guidelines/expectations ● be fully responsible for their own actions and for the consequences of those actions ● respect the rights and beliefs of others ● respect and obey the federal, state and local laws ● respect the property of others, both private and public

Academic Responsibilities A student’s academic responsibilities in school and remote learning are based upon study and hard work. In order to participate successfully in academic programs, students must: ● be on time for school ● attend school every day ● be prepared for class ● listen and participate in class ● complete all class work and homework ● study for tests ● demonstrate effective effort

Student Discipline Discipline, the need to identify constructive limits and controls in order to develop positive behaviors in all children, is an essential ingredient in every student’s total learning experience. The goal of discipline is to help students develop wise decision-making skills so that they may learn to make responsible choices in their interactions with others. To deal with student discipline issues, progressive discipline strategies are used by the teachers and administrators of the Lowell Public School System and may include at the discretion of the Principal or Assistant and dependent on the nature of the discipline infraction any one of the following strategies and/or combination of the following discipline strategies:

● Counseling that starts at the classroom level between teacher and student, and if not productive, proceeds to the social worker, guidance counselor, or Principal and/or the Assistant ● Detention: office, after-school, and/or weekend ● Assignment to a Behavior Modification Center (BMC) or In-School Suspension if available at the school ● Suspension from school that may be imposed by the Principal or Assistant for up to 5 days for serious misbehavior and that may be extended to 10 days with the approval of the Superintendent or Chief Schools Officer. ● Assignment to an alternative program that may be recommended by the Principal ● Expulsion from school that may be imposed by the Principal or by the School Committee

2-1 Conduct and Behavior Suspension and Expulsion Every student enrolled in the Lowell Public Schools is fully and equitably entitled to all the rights, privileges, safety and security afforded to all other students. No student shall cause any other student to be subjected to any form of harassment, including but not limited to harassment based on actual or perceived differentiating characteristics, including race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, socioeconomic status, homelessness, academic status, gender identity or expression, physical appearance, pregnant or parenting status, sexual orientation, mental, physical, developmental or sensory disability or by association with a person who has or is perceived to have one or more of these characteristics. In addition, no student shall subject any other student to threats, intimidation, assault, battery, or any other forms of violence. Such violations are subject to immediate suspension and/or expulsion in accordance with this Student Handbook.

Major Violations Listing All major violations warrant suspension at the discretion of the Principal. Depending on the seriousness of the offense or the frequency of the violation, the Principal may refer the issue for further action, which could include an expulsion hearing before the Principal or School Committee or referral to an alternate education program. Any major and/or minor violations of the Discipline section could result in the removal of a student from any academic or other specialized program (academies, clubs, sports, etc.) along with any other appropriate disciplinary action including but not limited to expulsion.

Other School Violations Other school violations typically, but not always, involve infractions that are not listed as major violations. Some of these violations are handled by the Principal or Assistant to include smoking, cutting classes and truancy. Other violations are handled by the classroom teacher to include tardiness to class, disturbing classroom work, missing assignments, talking in class, not returning progress reports or not bringing class materials. A classroom management plan will be located in each classroom and only when no improvement is shown, will the student be referred to the Principal or Assistant for further discipline. However, exceptions may be made to this procedure as warranted and authorized by the Principal.

A school wide education service plan is in place to ensure that regardless of what disciplinary action may be taken, that all students will be provided the opportunity to receive educational services and make academic progress.

Habitual School Offender (M.G.L. Chapter 119, Section 21) School officials have the authority to file a Habitual School Offender with the courts for a child who repeatedly fails to obey the lawful and reasonable commands of the school.

Major and Other Violations; In-School Suspensions; Short-Term Suspension; Emergency Removal; Long Term Suspension (not to exceed 90 school days) (M.G.L. Chapter 71, section 37H ¾)

2-3 Conduct and Behavior In-School Suspension “In-school suspension" means removal of a student from regular classroom activities, but not from the school premises, for no more than ten (10) consecutive school days, or no more than ten (10) school days cumulatively for multiple infractions during the school year. Removal solely from participation in extracurricular activities or school-sponsored events, or both, shall not count as removal in calculating school days. In-school suspension for ten (10) days or less, consecutively or cumulatively during a school year, shall not be considered a short-term suspension under these regulations. If a student is placed in in-school suspension for more than ten (10) days, consecutively or cumulatively during a school year, such suspension shall be deemed a long-term suspension for due process, appeal and reporting purposes.

The Principal/Designee may impose an in-school suspension for a disciplinary offense provided that the Principal/Designee follows the due process set forth within this paragraph and provided that the student has the opportunity to make academic progress.

The Principal/Designee shall inform the student of the disciplinary offense charged and the basis for the charge, and provide the student an opportunity to dispute the charges and explain the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident. If the Principal/Designee determines that the student committed the disciplinary offense, the Principal/Designee shall inform the student of the length of the student's in-school suspension, which shall not exceed 10 days, cumulatively or consecutively, in a school year. On the same day as the in-school suspension decision, the Principal/Designee shall make reasonable efforts to notify the parent orally of the disciplinary offense, the reasons for concluding that the student committed the infraction, and the length of the in-school suspension. The Principal/Designee shall also invite the parent to a meeting to discuss the student's academic performance and behavior, strategies for student engagement, and possible responses to the behavior. Such a meeting shall be scheduled on the day of the suspension if possible, and if not, as soon thereafter as possible. If the Principal/Designee is unable to reach the parent after making and documenting at least (2) attempts to do so, such attempts shall constitute reasonable efforts for purposes of orally informing the parent of the in-school suspension.

The Principal/Designee shall send written notice to the student and parent about the in-school suspension, including the reason and the length of the in-school suspension, and inviting the parent to a meeting with the Principal/Designee, if such a meeting has not already occurred. The Principal/Designee shall deliver such notice on the day of the suspension by hand-delivery, certified mail, first-class mail, email to an address provided by the parent for school communications, or by other method of delivery agreed to by the Principal/Designee and the parent.

Short-Term Suspension "Short-term suspension" means the removal of a student from the school premises and regular classroom activities for ten (10) consecutive school days or less. A Principal/Designee may, at his or her discretion, allow a student to serve a short-term suspension in school. Removal solely from participation in extracurricular activities or school-sponsored events, or both, shall not count as removal in calculating school days.

The Principal/Designee may not impose a suspension as a consequence for a disciplinary offense without first providing the student and the parent oral and written notice, and providing the student an opportunity for a hearing on the charge and the parent an opportunity to participate in such hearing. The Principal/Designee shall provide oral and written notice to the student and the parent in English and in the primary language of the home if other than English, or other means of communication where appropriate. The notice shall set forth in plain language: 2-4 Conduct and Behavior (a) the disciplinary offense; (b) the basis for the charge; (c) the potential consequences, including the potential length of the student's suspension; (d) the opportunity for the student to have a hearing with the Principal/Designee concerning the proposed suspension, including the opportunity to dispute the charges and to present the student's explanation of the alleged incident, and for the parent to attend the hearing; (e) the date, time, and location of the hearing; and (f) the right of the student and the student's parent to interpreter services at the hearing if needed to participate.

The Principal/Designee shall make reasonable efforts to notify the parent orally of the opportunity to attend the hearing. To conduct a hearing without the parent present, the Principal/Designee must be able to document reasonable efforts to include the parent. The Principal/Designee is presumed to have made reasonable efforts if the Principal/Designee has sent written notice and has documented at least two (2) attempts to contact the parent in the manner specified by the parent for emergency notification. Written notice to the parent may be made by hand delivery, first-class mail, certified mail, or email to an address provided by the parent for school communications, or any other method of delivery agreed to by the Principal/Designee and parent.

The purpose of the hearing with the Principal/Designee is to hear and consider information regarding the alleged incident for which the student may be suspended, provide the student an opportunity to dispute the charges and explain the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, determine if the student committed the disciplinary offense, and if so, the consequences for the infraction. At a minimum, the Principal/Designee shall discuss the disciplinary offense, the basis for the charge, and any other pertinent information. The student also shall have an opportunity to present information, including mitigating facts, that the Principal/Designee should consider in determining whether other remedies and consequences may be appropriate. The Principal/Designee shall provide the parent, if present, an opportunity to discuss the student's conduct and offer information, including mitigating circumstances, that the Principal/Designee should consider in determining consequences for the student.

Based on the available information, including mitigating circumstances, the Principal/Designee shall determine whether the student committed the disciplinary offense, and, if so, what remedy or consequence will be imposed.

The Principal/Designee shall notify the student and parent of the determination and the reasons for it, and, if the student is suspended, the type and duration of suspension and the opportunity to make up assignments and such other school work as needed to make academic progress during the period of removal. The determination shall be in writing and may be in the form of an update to the original written notice.

If the child is in a public preschool program or in grades K through 3, the Principal shall send a copy of the written determination to the Superintendent and explain the reasons for imposing an out-of-school suspension, before the short-term suspension takes effect.

Emergency Removal The Principal/Designee may remove a student from school temporarily when a student is charged with a disciplinary offense and the continued presence of the student poses a danger to persons or property, or materially and substantially disrupts the order of the school and, in the Principal/Designee's judgment, there is no alternative available to alleviate the danger or disruption. The Principal/Designee shall immediately notify the superintendent in writing of the removal and the reason for it, and describe the

2-5 Conduct and Behavior danger presented by the student. The temporary removal shall not exceed two (2) school days following the day of the emergency removal, during which time the Principal/Designee shall: (a) Make immediate and reasonable efforts to orally notify the student and the student's parent of the emergency removal, the reason for the need for emergency removal, and which meets and complies with the notice and due process requirements of short-term suspension. (b) Provide written notice to the student and parent which meets and complies with the notice and due process requirements of short-term suspension; (c) Provide the student an opportunity for a hearing with the Principal/Designee that complies with the notice requirements of short-term and long-term suspensions, and the parent an opportunity to attend the hearing, before the expiration of the two (2) school days, unless an extension of time for hearing is otherwise agreed to by the Principal/Designee, student, and parent. (d) Render a decision orally on the same day as the hearing, and in writing no later than the following school day, which meets and complies with the notice and due process requirements of short-term and long-term suspension.

The Principal/Designee may not remove a student from school on an emergency basis for a disciplinary offense until adequate provisions have been made for the student's safety and transportation.

Long-Term Suspension and Appeal Process under M.G.L. 37H 3/4 "Long-term suspension" means the removal of a student from the school premises and regular classroom activities for more than ten (10) consecutive school days, or for more than ten (10) school days cumulatively for multiple disciplinary offenses in any school year. A Principal/Designee may, in his or her discretion, allow a student to serve a long-term suspension in school. Removal solely from participation in extracurricular activities or school-sponsored events, or both, shall not count as removal in calculating school days. Except for students who are charged with a disciplinary offense set forth in subsections (a) or (b) of G.L. c. 71, §37 H, or in section 37H ½ of G.L. c. 71, no student may be placed on long-term suspension for one or more disciplinary offenses for more than ninety (90) school days in a school year beginning with the first day that the student is removed from school. No long-term suspension shall extend beyond the end of the school year in which such suspension is imposed. The purpose of the hearing is the same as the purpose of a short-term suspension hearing. At a minimum, in addition to the rights afforded a student in a short-term suspension hearing, the student shall have the following rights:

● In advance of the hearing, the opportunity to review the student's record and the documents upon which the Principal/Designee may rely in making a determination to suspend the student or not; ● the right to be represented by counsel or a lay person of the student's choice, at the student's/parent's expense; ● the right to produce witnesses on his or her behalf and to present the student's explanation of the alleged incident, but the student may not be compelled to do so; ● the right to cross-examine witnesses presented by the school district; ● the right to request that the hearing be recorded by the Principal/Designee, and to receive a copy of the audio recording upon request. If the student or parent requests an audio recording, the Principal/Designee shall inform all participants before the hearing that an audio record will be made and a copy will be provided to the student and parent upon request.

2-6 Conduct and Behavior The Principal/Designee shall provide the parent, if present, an opportunity to discuss the student's conduct and offer information, including mitigating circumstances, that the Principal/Designee should consider in determining consequences for the student.

Based on the evidence, the Principal/Designee shall determine whether the student committed the disciplinary offense, and, if so, after considering mitigating circumstances and alternatives to suspension, what remedy or consequence will be imposed, in place of or in addition to a long-term suspension. The Principal/Designee shall send the written determination to the student and parent by hand-delivery, certified mail, first-class mail, email to an address provided by the parent for school communications, or any other method of delivery agreed to by the Principal/Designee and the parent. If the Principal/Designee decides to suspend the student, the written determination shall in accordance with 603 CMR 53.08(3)(d)(1-5) state the following:

1. Identify the disciplinary offense, the date on which the hearing took place, and the participants at the hearing; 2. Set out the key facts and conclusions reached by the Head of School/Designee; 3. Identify the length and effective date of the suspension, as well as a date of return to school; 4. Include notice of the student's opportunity to receive education services to make academic progress during the period of removal from school as provided in 603 CMR 53.13(4)(a); 5. Inform the student of the right to appeal the Head of School/Designee's decision to the superintendent or designee, but only if the Head of School/Designee has imposed a long-term suspension. Notice of the right of appeal shall be in English and the primary language of the home if other than English, or other means of communication where appropriate, and shall include the following information stated in plain language:

i. The process for appealing the decision, including that the student or parent must file a written notice of appeal with the superintendent within five (5) calendar days of the effective date of the long-term suspension; provided that within the five (5) calendar days, the student or parent may request and receive from the superintendent an extension of time for filing the written notice for up to seven (7) additional calendar days; and that ii. The long-term suspension will remain in effect unless and until the superintendent decides to reverse the Principal/Designee's determination on appeal.

If the student is in a public preschool program or in grades K through 3, the principal shall send a copy of the written determination to the Superintendent and explain the reasons for imposing an out-of-school suspension, whether short-term or long-term, before the suspension takes effect.

A student who is placed on long-term suspension following a hearing with the Principal/Designee shall have the right to appeal the Principal/Designee S decision to the Superintendent.

The student or parent shall file a notice of appeal with the Superintendent within five (5) calendar days of the effective date of the long-term suspension, unless an extension is requested (see 5-above). If the appeal is not timely filed, the Superintendent may deny the appeal, or may allow the appeal in his or her discretion, for good cause.The Superintendent shall hold the hearing within three (3) school days of the student's request, unless the student or parent requests an extension of up to seven (7) additional calendar days, in which case the Superintendent shall grant the extension.

2-7 Conduct and Behavior The Superintendent shall make a good faith effort to include the parent in the hearing. The Superintendent shall be presumed to have made a good faith effort if he or she has made efforts to find a day and time for the hearing that would allow the parent and Superintendent to participate. The Superintendent shall send written notice to the parent of the date, time, and location of the hearing.

The Superintendent shall conduct a hearing to determine whether the student committed the disciplinary offense of which the student is accused, and if so, what the consequence shall be. The Superintendent shall arrange for an audio recording of the hearing, a copy of which shall be provided to the student or parent upon request. The Superintendent shall inform all participants before the hearing that an audio record will be made of the hearing and a copy will be provided to the student and parent upon request. The student shall have all the rights afforded the student at the Principal/Designee’s hearing for long-term suspension.

The Superintendent shall issue a written decision within five (5) calendar days of the hearing as required by 603 CMR 53.08(3)(d)(1-4) stating the following:

1) the disciplinary offense, date, and participants present at the hearing; 2) key facts and conclusions; 3) length and effective date of suspension and return to school; and 4) notice of the student's opportunity to receive educational services during removal.

If the Superintendent determines that the student committed the disciplinary offense, the Superintendent may impose the same or a lesser consequence than the Principal/Designee, but shall not impose a suspension greater than that imposed by the Principal/Designee's decision.

The decision of the Superintendent shall be the final decision of the school district, charter school, or virtual school, with regard to the suspension.

Major Violations – Long-Term Suspension or Expulsion (M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section 37H) The following violations may result in a hearing before the Principal to determine whether or not the student should be suspended or expelled:

I. Assaulting and/or battering school personnel Any student, who assaults a Principal, Assistant Principal, Teacher, Teacher’s Aide or other educational staff on school premises or at school-sponsored events, including athletic games, may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the school or school district by the Principal. (This rule also pertains to school buses.) *Threatening violent acts on school personnel can/could be classified as an assault.

II. Possession or use of a dangerous weapon or a reasonable facsimile of dangerous weapon, including, but not limited to a gun or knife Any student who is found on school premises or at school-sponsored or school-related events, including athletic games, in possession of a dangerous weapon or a reasonable facsimile including, but not limited to, a gun or knife, may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the school or school district by the Principal.

III. The sale of and/or possession and/or transfer of controlled substance Any student who is found on school premises or at school-sponsored or school-related events, including athletic games, in possession of a controlled substance as defined in chapter

2-8 Conduct and Behavior ninety-four C, including, but not limited to marijuana, cocaine, and heroin, may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the school or school district by the Principal.

Hearing Leading to Suspensions or Expulsions (Due Process) Any student who is charged with a violation of any of the above mentioned items shall be notified in writing of an opportunity for a hearing; provided however, that the student may have representation, along with the opportunity to present evidence and witnesses at said hearing before the Principal. After said hearing, the Principal may, at his discretion, decide to suspend rather than expel a student who has been determined by the Principal to violate any of the above-mentioned items.

Appeal Process for a Suspension or Expulsion under M.G.L. 37H Any student who has been suspended or expelled from a school district pursuant to 37H shall have the right to appeal to the Superintendent. The suspended or expelled student shall have ten days from the date of the suspension or expulsion in which to notify the superintendent of his or her appeal. The student has the right to counsel at a hearing before the superintendent if the student so chooses. The subject matter of the appeal shall not be limited solely to a factual determination of whether the student has violated any provisions of this section.

Student Charged with or Convicted of a Felony and Appeal Process under M.G.L. 37H1/2 (M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section 37H1/2) Upon the issuance and/or conviction of a criminal felony charging a student with a felony or upon the issuance of a felony delinquency complaint against a student, the Principal may expel or choose to suspend such student for a period of time determined appropriate by the Principal if the Principal determines that the student’s continued presence in school would have a substantial detrimental effect on the general welfare of the school. The student shall receive written notification of the charges and the reasons for such suspension prior to such suspension taking effect.

The student or the student’s parent/guardian shall have the right to appeal the suspension or expulsion to the superintendent and may bring counsel if the student so chooses. The student or student’s parent/guardian shall notify the superintendent in writing of his request for an appeal no later than five calendar days following the effective date of the suspension. The superintendent shall hold a hearing with the student and the student’s parent or guardian within three calendar days for the student’s request for an appeal.

School Committee Exclusions (subject to and must be read consistent with M.G.L. Chapter 71, section 37H ¾) (M.G.L. Chapter 76, Sections 16 &17) The Principal or the School Committee may legitimately discipline students for misconduct even if the misconduct is not specifically described in these disciplinary rules. Such action will be in accordance with due process requirements and shall not be exercised arbitrarily or capriciously. This may also be applied to activities that are also off school grounds and that the offender knew his or her conduct was seriously wrong and contrary to school policy.

Note: Nicholas B. v. School Committee of Worcester: The court upheld the actions of Worcester School Committee in that, when a student is involved in an incident after school off of school grounds that was planned in school, that student or students are still subject to school discipline. The court ruled that the student knew his violent conduct was seriously wrong and contrary to school policy, even though the code of discipline did not address conduct off school grounds.

2-9 Conduct and Behavior Off-Campus Status Rules pertaining to student behavior are also in full force and effect for students while in off-campus status during school hours and after school hours and non-school days as part of a team, club, field trip, errand, school transportation, or as a participant or spectator of any other school sanctioned activity in or around the site of the activity (including parking areas.)

Disciplinary action can also be taken for on or off campus behavior, including but not limited to cell phone postings and/or photos, texting, and Internet postings and/or photos that are reasonably foreseeable to come to the attention of school administrators and create a risk of material and substantial disruption to the work and discipline of the school.

Suspensions A student on suspension is not allowed on the school premises nor allowed to participate in or be a spectator or attendant at school functions, ceremonies, and extracurricular activities.

Students who are suspended will be provided the opportunity to receive educational services and make academic progress consistent with the school wide education service plan. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the work in the time period indicated by the service plan.

Transmittal of Expulsion Records When a student is expelled or suspended under the provisions of this section, no school or school district within the Commonwealth shall be required to admit such student or to provide educational services to said student. If said student does apply for admission to another school or school district, the superintendent of the school district to which the application is made may request and shall receive from the superintendent of the school expelling said student a written statement of the reasons for said expulsion:

● Students must complete all assigned work. ● Students are responsible for returning all work to appropriate teachers. ● Any student who leaves the room without permission, or leaves with permission but does not return to the in-house suspension room, will be automatically suspended and must return with a parent on the next school day to meet with the Principal. The student will complete the original in-house penalty.

Procedures Pertaining to Discipline of Students with Special Needs The underlying principle of this section is that students with special needs must not be denied access to their education programs and services due to suspension for behavior that is directly related to their special needs or disability, or the result of an inappropriate special education program. A student is considered a student with Special Needs if one of the following applies: ● The student is presently receiving services through an Individualized Education Plan; ● The district is presently conducting an initial evaluation; ● The student is presently eligible for accommodations under a Section 504 Plan; ● The student's parent(s) raised concern that the student was disabled and/or special ● needs in writing, and/or requested an evaluation; or if ● The school district staff had expressed concern that the student may have had a disability and needed services, prior to the disciplinary action.

If prior to the disciplinary action, a district had knowledge that the student may be a student with a disability, either from the staff or the parent(s), then the district must make all protections available to the student until and unless the student is subsequently determined not to be eligible. In these cases, where

2-10 Conduct and Behavior eligibility has not yet been determined, the district shall immediately make a referral for a special education evaluation.

Suspension of such special needs students is defined as any action resulting in the removal of such students from their educational program, including expulsion from prescribed transportation and time in an in-house suspension program. An Individualized Education Plan may designate whether or not a student can comply with the school's discipline code.

Bus Conduct All students riding the school buses are expected to board the buses at the end of the school day unless excused by a parent’s note and are expected to comply with the rules noted above. Students who refuse to obey the directions of the bus driver promptly or who refuse to obey regulations may, among other disciplinary actions, forfeit their right to ride on the bus. Students must obey all bus rules including: ● Being on time at the designated bus stop. ● Conducting themselves in a safe manner while waiting. ● Moving toward the bus only when the bus has come to a complete stop. ● Boarding the bus in a manner that is respectful of other riders. ● Follow expectations for social distancing and wearing a mask as prescribed by MA Department of Health and Lowell Public Schools Policy on Mask Wearing.

Bus rules while on the school bus: ● Students must keep hands, feet, and head inside the bus. ● Students must assist in keeping the bus safe and sanitary. ● Students must treat bus equipment well. ● Students must keep books, packages, coats, and all other objects out of the aisle. ● Students must be courteous to other students and to the bus driver. ● Students must help look after the safety and comfort of small children. ● Students must remain on the bus unless requested to leave by the bus driver in case of a road emergency. Students must be absolutely quiet when approaching a railroad-crossing stop. ● Students must sit where they are told to sit. ● Students must have written permission to leave the bus other than at home or at school. ● Students must not shout or cause unnecessary confusion. ● Students must not open and close bus windows. ● Students must not tamper with the bus or any of its equipment. (Damage to equipment will be paid for by the offender.) ● Students must not leave books, lunches, or other articles on the bus. ● Students must not leave or change seats while the bus is in motion. ● Students must not throw anything out of the bus windows. ● Students must not play roughly. ● Students must not use inappropriate language. ● Students must not smoke.

2-11 Conduct and Behavior Attendance

The School Committee, School Administrators and Teachers consider regular attendance essential for success in school. Every student is required to attend regularly and punctually. In keeping with state requirements, the Lowell Public School System acknowledges that an absence is considered to be excused if it is due to one or more of the following well-documented reasons: ● Suspension ● Illness ● Hospitalization ● Disability of the child is such that it precludes the child from attending school as determined by a physician ● Death of a family member ● Court appearance ● Religious Holidays/Observations ● Incomplete or outdated immunization records ● Physician’s statement attesting to a medical condition that prevents school attendance ● Required quarantine

Procedure when a student is absent: ● Parents or Guardians will call the school at the start of the school day on the dates of absence and notify the school of the student’s absence. ● A student will bring a note from the parent or guardian containing the reason and date (s) of absence no later than the second day following the absence. ● If a student is absent, it is his/her responsibility to complete make-up work due to the absences in the time period indicated in the school wide education service plan. If the schoolwork is not made up, the student may lose credit for incomplete work. ● Teachers must provide makeup work according to the school wide education service plan. Extenuating circumstances that may make it difficult to complete work within the time period designated in the plan, such as hospitalization, should be discussed with the Principal. ● An absence will be considered unexcused if the above steps are not taken. ● If a student is excessively absent from school or has a pattern of extensive absenteeism over time the Principal or Designee is authorized to request additional documentation including doctor’s notes.

Remote Learning When students are engaged in remote learning, attendance will be determined by students’ engagement in virtual, live lessons and completion of assignments. Students are expected to have regular attendance during remote learning in alignment with expectations prescribed by the school/District. If families are experiencing challenges due to technology or schedules, they should reach out to their school (administrators and teachers). Please make every effort to schedule appointments involving your child before or after school hours.

School’s Obligation when a student is absent:

3-1 Attendance Per Chapter 222, the Acts of 2012, An Act Relative to Student Access to Educational Services and Exclusion from School, Lowell Public Schools developed the Lowell Public Schools Attendance Intervention Plan. Per the Plan you should expect the following:

● An automated phone call following every absence; ● On or before the 3rd absence in each quarter, a telephone conference or meeting will be scheduled with the parent to develop an Attendance Agreement;

● On or after the 4th absence in each quarter, an Attendance Warning Letter will be sent to the Parent via email or US mail to inform them of the significance and impact on their child’s grade;

● Every quarter the parent will be notified of their child’s absences on their report card; ● On or before the 5th absence, a parent may expect to receive a Home Visit from one or two Attendance Team members of your child’s school and/or an invitation to a school-based Attendance Meeting; ● On or before the 6th absence, you may be referred to an Attendance Intervention Meeting; and ● Per the law, on or about the 9th absence, the school may file a Child Requiring Assistance (CRA) and/or a Failure to Compel .School Attendance with the Middlesex Juvenile Court.

Please be aware that the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education requires that all school systems have 180 days of school each school year. The official school calendar at the beginning of this handbook has five (5) possible snow days included in the calendar. If the school system has more than five unscheduled school closings, the additional days will be added to the end of the school year so that the school system is in compliance with the 180-day requirement. These added days count as regular school days. Students are required to attend these days and no dispensation will be given for students with summer travel plans. Family vacations are NOT considered excused absences.

It is the policy of the Lowell Public School System that students who have 15 consecutive days of unexcused absence will be deemed to be non-members and removed from school rolls. Students under 16 years of age must return either to the Lowell Public Schools or to another school district in a new community of residence. Those students returning to Lowell Public Schools in grades K-8 must register at the Family Resource Center (FRC) for re-entry and placement. All such students will be subject to the established policies and procedures that apply to new entrants to the Lowell Public Schools.

Tardiness Tardiness to school is a hindrance to the educational process and something that needs to be avoided for future success in the workforce. Please make every effort to schedule appointments for students before or after school hours. A student who is late for school must sign in at the Main Office when entering school and state the reason for tardiness that will be documented in the school office. For tardiness in excess of five (5) days in a marking period, school officials are authorized to contact parents. Patterns of tardiness may result in disciplinary action.

Truancy and Class Cutting Any student cutting class and/or absent from school without a legitimate excuse (with or without parent consent) is considered truant. Before the truant student will be readmitted to class, the student accompanied by his/her parent or guardian must have a conference with the Principal or designee. A plan

3-2 Attendance to address missed work and time will be developed by the school with missed school work being made up within 3 days in order to receive credit. Truant students may be subject to detention, and/or possible referral to the Attendance Office for intervention. Please note that in regards to students 16 or younger, Massachusetts General Law Chapter 76, Section 2, Failure to Compel School Attendance states that “Every person in control of a child shall cause him to attend school as therein required, and, if he fails to do so for seven (7) day sessions or fourteen (14) half day sessions within any period of six months” can face prosecution by the District Attorney’s Office in the case of chronic truancy which could result in a potential fine. In addition, Lowell Public Schools may seek a CRA (Children Requiring Assistance) Truancy Petition through the court system for any child under the age of sixteen who fails to attend school for more than eight (8) days in a quarter without proper excuse.

The Attendance Officer will make house and school visits regarding excessive absence, excessive tardiness and truancy and will investigate and make recommendations in all school cases in juvenile courts and in all cases of school offenders and truants.

Dismissal School provides valuable academic time. Please be aware that dismissing a student affects the student’s and other children’s time on learning. A pattern of early dismissal may result in disciplinary actions. Parents are urged to make necessary appointments for students after school hours in order to minimize the need for dismissal. Students who wish to be dismissed must bring in a parent-signed note to the main office on the morning of the dismissal indicating: ▪ Student’s name

▪ Day/date/year of the dismissal The reason for the dismissal

▪ Parent/guardian name

▪ Signature

▪ Phone number(s) where parent can be reached to verify dismissal

▪ The name of the person who will be picking the student up from school Please note: No student will be dismissed unless the parent can be contacted. Family members who come in to pick up a student for a previously verified dismissal must present valid identification.

If an emergency arises and a note has not been sent in, the parent/guardian must come to the school and present valid identification in order to dismiss a student. If this is not possible, a fax signed by the parent that provides all the necessary information may be faxed to the main office with a follow-up phone call to the parent/guardian. No Emergency Dismissals will be Approved by Telephone Contact Only.

Students with Disabilities A child is not presumed unable to attend school solely because he/she is entitled to special education services or accommodations through a Section 504 plan. Any child with an individualized educational plan (I.E.P) or a Section 504 plan is expected to attend school regularly unless there are health issues documented on the plan that prevent attendance.

3-3 Attendance Policy and Guidelines Regarding Search and Seizure

All parents and students must understand that:

● The Principal, Assistant Principal or Designee may conduct a search of a student on school premises if he/she has reason or cause to believe that the student has in his/her possession any item, the possession of which constitutes a criminal offense under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or violation of school policy. This search will be made in the presence of a third party, all of the same sex as the alleged suspect except in the case of a health and/or safety emergency involving a possible imminent threat and/or harm. This search is not limited to just a search of the student but may also include items on and/or in possession of the student.

● The Principal, Assistant Principal or Designee may conduct a search of the physical plant of the school and every appurtenance thereof, including student lockers.

● The Lowell School Department reserves the right to bring in trained dogs to sniff out drugs and gunpowder and other explosives.

In all circumstances of search and seizure in the school “the interests of the student will be abridged no more than is necessary to achieve the legitimate end of preserving order in the schools.”

A student search and resulting seizure by school personnel will be carried out if:

● There are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the student has violated or is violating either the law or the rules of the school, and ● The search itself is conducted in a manner reasonably related to its objectives and not excessively intrusive in light of the age and sex of the student and nature of the infraction.

Reasonable grounds for a student search may include:

● A school personnel’s personal observation ● Receipt by a school official of a report by a teacher, school employee, a student or some other reliable source; or ● Receipt of report from an anonymous source if circumstances persuade the school official of its reliability or if there is independent information corroborating it.

When possible, the search should be conducted under the direction of a school administrator or security personnel with at least one other school personnel witness; and whenever possible, reasonable efforts must be made to inform the student’s parent/guardian of the intent to search prior to taking such action. The search should be conducted as discreetly as possible making sure to avoid high intrusive searches, random searches or searches involving wholesale rummaging of a student’s personal property.

If, in the judgment of the school administration, a situation arising of a student search and seizure warrants, it will be brought to the attention of the appropriate law enforcement authorities. In such cases, the student and the student’s parents will be informed. All material seized will be sealed, dated and signed, and stored in a secure place by school authorities. Any material turned over to the police will be done so in compliance with legal safeguards to the student.

Appendix A-1 Search & Seizure Regulations Due Process and the Right to Appeal

All students must be afforded due process whenever deprived of their right to education through exclusion from their regular classroom instruction or from other school activities including: long term suspension, expulsion, transfer, probation or withdrawal of privileges. The right to due process includes the right to a fair hearing prior to any of the above exclusions, except for emergency suspension pursuant to this code. ● An expulsion is the complete severing of a student’s membership from school. Expulsion would be the result of an action taken by the Principal based on Massachusetts General Law Ch. 71 Sections 37H & 37H1/2 or by the School Committee based on Massachusetts General Law Ch. 76 Section 17. A decision regarding student expulsion is made by the Lowell School Committee using the expulsion procedure noted above. ● A long-term suspension is exclusion from regular classroom instruction for more than 10 school days. ● All students must be afforded due process whenever there is a possibility of expulsion for more than 10 days. The right to due process includes the right to a fair hearing prior to expulsion or long-term suspension except for emergency suspension pursuant to these regulations.

Physical Restraint

The Board of Education regulation (603 CMR 46.00) regarding physical restraint in public education programs are meant to promote safety for all students and staff in school. Physical restraint shall be used only in emergency situations of last resort, after other lawful and less intrusive alternatives have failed or been deemed inappropriate, and with extreme caution. This regulation also governs time-out and seclusion.

Disturbance of School Assemblies

Consistent with Massachusetts Law, whoever willfully interrupts or disturbs a school or other assembly will be subject to disciplinary action; suspension, expulsion, transfer, probation, withdrawal of privileges or arrest. In the case of an arrest, it is not necessary to show that the defendant possessed a specific intent to disturb the school proceedings. The willfulness requirements of Massachusetts General Law Ch. 272 Section 40 demands only that the acts of the defendants be willfully performed. As long as the acts were intentional and not due to accident or inadvertence the requirement for arrest is satisfied (Commonwealth vs. Bohmer, 374 Mass. 368, 377; 372 NE 2nd 1381, 1978)

Appendix B-1 Due Process/Physical Restraint/School Assemblies Harassment and Bullying

Every attempt will be made to seek a satisfactory solution to all legitimate complaints or grievances in a friendly and informal manner, if possible. Any and all applicable provisions of the Massachusetts General Laws or Federal Laws will be followed by school officials in investigating and reviewing student grievances and/or conducting hearings.

In the case of students and their parents and/or guardians who believe the student has received unfair treatment, the appeal process will be guided by Lowell Public Schools policy and procedures and any and/or all applicable laws.

The Lowell School Department recognizes the legal and social responsibility to establish policies and encourage administrative action that promote a school environment free from use, possession or distribution of alcohol, tobacco, Vapor/E-cigarettes, any illegal drugs and/or controlled substances.

The Lowell Public Schools recognizes that substance abuse is a disease affecting the health, education, and creative potential of all impacted parties and every effort will be made to identify potential and ongoing problems and provide intervention as deemed appropriate. That said, the Lowell School Department will provide assistance to any student voluntarily seeking alcohol, tobacco or drug treatment or advice. The seeking of voluntary assistance in no way abrogates the students’ responsibilities under any Lowell School Department policies.

Provide the student who voluntarily seeks help or treatment with the opportunity to make up any school work missed.

The Lowell School Department recognizes the need to provide a balance between providing supportive counseling services to those students who have alcohol, tobacco or drug issues as well as addressing disciplinary concerns.

It is the policy of the Lowell School Department that a student shall not, regardless of the quantity, use/consume, possess, buy/sell, be under the influence or give away any beverage containing alcohol; any tobacco product, including vapor/E-cigarettes; marijuana; steroids; or any controlled or illegal substance/drugs or look alike substance/drug, medication/prescription (inconsistent with the Lowell Public School Medication Policy) and/or volatile substances on school grounds and/or prior to or during school sponsored or school related activities or events.

Teaching About Alcohol, Tobacco and Drugs

In accordance with state and federal law, the Lowell Public Schools shall provide age appropriate, developmentally appropriate, evidence-based alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention education programs in grades K-12.

The alcohol, tobacco and drug prevention program shall increase students’ understanding of the legal, social and health consequences of alcohol, tobacco and drug use. The program also shall include instruction of the effects of alcohol, tobacco and drugs on the human system; the emotional, psychological and dangers of such use with emphasis on nonuse by school age children; and information about effective techniques and skill development for delaying and abstaining from using substances; as well as skills for addressing and/or avoiding peer pressure to use alcohol, tobacco and/or drugs.

The objectives of this program, as stated below, are rooted in the Lowell School Committee’s belief that prevention requires education and that the most important aspects of the policies and guidelines of the district should be the education of each individual student as to the dangers and consequences of alcohol, tobacco and drug use, while simultaneously developing students’ abilities and skills to make healthy decisions: ● To prevent, delay and/or reduce alcohol, tobacco and drug use among children and youth. ● To create an awareness of and/or increase students’ understanding of the legal, social and health consequences of alcohol, tobacco and drug use. ● To create an awareness of and/or increase students’ understanding of the personal, social and economic problems caused by the misuse of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. ● To teach students self-management skills, social skills, negotiation skills and refusal skills to help them make healthy and intelligent decisions, develop the courage to stand by their convictions and avoid peer pressure, ultimately avoiding alcohol, tobacco and/or drug use.

The curriculum and instructional materials used in this program shall be recommended by the Superintendent and approved by the School Committee.

This policy shall be posted on the district’s website and notice shall be provided to all students and parents in accordance with state law. Additionally, the district shall file a copy of this policy with DESE in accordance with the law and in a manner requested by DESE.

Appendix G-4 School Health Unit Special Education

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) applies to all people ages three to twenty-two who have not graduated from high school and who meet the eligibility guidelines for special education services. Once a student with a suspected special need is identified and referred, the evaluation process begins. If the student is determined eligible for services, an Individualized Educational Plan (IEP) is designed to meet the student’s needs.

Procedures Pertaining to Discipline of Students with Special Needs or 504 Plans

The underlying principle of this section is that students with special needs must not be denied access to their education programs due to suspension for behavior that is directly related to their special needs, or the result of an inappropriate special education program. Suspension of such students is defined as any action resulting in the removal of such students from the program prescribed in their IEP.

Students may be removed/suspended from their program/school for up to ten (10) cumulative or consecutive school days per school year. Allowable removals/suspension include in-school suspension, emergency removal, short-term suspension, long-term suspension or assignment to an interim alternative educational setting. All removals/suspensions must comply with 603 CMR 53.

When a student is removed/suspended for ten (10) school days (consecutively or cumulatively) within the school year, it is considered a change of placement and the IEP Team must reconvene to conduct a manifestation determination review to determine if the behavior of concern is a manifestation of the child’s disability.

The practice in the Lowell Public Schools is that preferably at three (3) infractions and/or no more than seven (7) cumulative days of removal/suspension, the Education Team Chairperson (ETC) will issue consents for a functional behavioral analysis (FBA) to the parent/guardian/guardian. The purpose of this is to collect data to complete a FBA for the development of an appropriate behavior intervention plan (BIP) to address the students’ behaviors in question.

No later than ten (10) school days of the decision to change the student’s placement, the school administrator, parent/guardian, and relevant members of the IEP Team must meet to conduct a review (manifestation determination). At this manifestation determination review meeting, the IEP Team will determine if the violation for which the student is subject to was (1) caused by or directly and substantially related to the student’s disability or (2) was the direct result of a failure to implement the student’s IEP or Section 504 Plan

During the manifestation determination review meeting, members of the IEP Team will review all relevant information in the student’s file, including the IEP, the discipline referral packets if available, teacher observations, and any relevant information provided by the parent/guardian to determine if the misconduct resulted from the disability.

If “Yes” to either question then the behavior is a manifestation, and the following shall occur:

● Return the student to the previous placement and review and/or conduct a FBA, and develop and/or up-date and implement a BIP.

Appendix H-1 Special Education ● If a BIP is already in place, the Team will review the plan and modify as needed to address the behavior problem, and return the student to the placement from which the student was removed.

● If the violation for which the student is subject to was the direct result of a failure to implement the student’s IEP or Section 504 Plan, then the IEP Team should take the steps necessary to correct the failure to implement including, but not limited to involving the Principal and/or Director of Special Education.

If “No” to both questions then the behavior is not a manifestation, and the following may occur:

● The school may proceed with using the school’s disciplinary procedures, including removal/suspension. During the suspension/removal the school must continue to provide the student with FAPE and must comply with the requirements of 603 CMR 53, including, but not limited to the opportunity to make up assignments and other work as needed to make academic progress during the period of suspension/removal.

If a parent/guardian disagrees with the Team’s decision in regards to the “manifestation determination”, the parent/guardian has the right to request an expedited due process hearing from the Bureau of Special Education Appeals (BSEA).

The Team may also decide not to return the student to their previous placement if (1) the parent/guardian and district agree to a different placement, (2) a hearing officer orders a new placement, or (3) the student is suspended for special circumstances.

Under special circumstances, school personnel may unilaterally remove a student and place the student in an interim alternative education setting for up to 45 school days, without regard to whether the behavior is determined to be a manifestation of the student’s disability. The special circumstances are as follows:

● The student is in possession of a dangerous weapon on school grounds or at school-sponsored events; ● The student is in possession of or using of illegal drugs on school grounds or at school-sponsored events; ● The student engaged in solicitation of a controlled substance on school grounds or at school-sponsored events; or ● The student inflicted serious bodily injury to another at school or at school-sponsored events.

A special circumstances interim alternative education setting must enable the student to participate in the general curriculum, progress toward the goals in the IEP, and receive the special education and related services contained in the student’s IEP. The interim alternative setting must also provide services and modifications designed to address the behaviors giving rise to the removal and to prevent the behavior from reoccurring.

Appendix H-2 Special Education authorizing the student’s continued removal. Please note that if a parent/guardian disagrees with either the determination as to “special circumstances” and/or the “interim alternative education setting” the parent/guardian may also exercise their rights to a due process hearing from the BSEA.

However, absent special circumstances, the school may still remove the student to an interim alternative setting for forty-five (45) school days with: 1) parent/guardian consent or 2) by obtaining authorization from a court or BSEA Hearing Officer. In order to obtain an order from a court or BSEA Hearing Officer, the school must prove that maintaining the student’s placement is substantially likely to result in injury to the student or others.

The parent/guardian shall have the right to appeal the manifestation Team’s determination, the imposition of a disciplinary change in placement, and the student’s placement in an interim alternative educational setting. The student will remain in the disciplinary placement imposed by school authorities pending a decision on the appeal or until the expiration of the disciplinary sanction, whichever comes first.

Appendix H-3 Special Education Alternative and Day School Programs

The BRIDGE Program at the David J. McHugh Alternative Middle School accepts LPS students between the ages of 12-16 who are in grades 6th through 8th. Students are referred to the BRIDGE based on school allocations if they are not experiencing success in their traditional middle school placement and have academic, behavioral and attendance issues. For students with an IEP, a placement meeting must be held prior to movement. In an effort to ensure that appropriate services can be delivered, students with IEPs will be evaluated on a case by case basis to ensure that enrollment does not exceed capacity to meet the needs of the students. Students diagnosed with an emotional disability and with limited English acquisition do not qualify for a referral to the BRIDGE. Students are accepted into the program throughout the school year, as needs present. General education students may remain in an alternative placement for 90 school days. Special education and 504 students may remain in the alternative placement for 45 school days. Prior to the end of the 90/45 school day placement, a meeting may be held to extend the student’s stay or this meeting can be waived by the parents/guardians (allows the student to stay without holding such a meeting). This meeting would need to be held every 90 school days for general education students or it could be waived by parents/guardians for as long as the student remains in the placement. There is no need for this meeting for special education/504 students after the initial 45 school days meeting, because these students’ IEPs/504s will have been amended to reflect the placement as their new placement in the IEP/504 and any meeting will be consistent with federal and state special education laws. The expectation is that student’s remain in the Bridge program for their middle school years. However, students may return back to their home school once they have made sufficient progress to be successful.

The Laura Lee Therapeutic Day School is a substantially separate Special Education Program that services students in Kindergarten through grade 7. All students that attend the Laura Lee must have an IEP with an emotional disability and a placement at a Public Day School. The sending school’s special education team determines the identified disability and placement need. Students who attend the Laura Lee must have significant emotional disabilities together with behavioral challenges that require a more restrictive school environment and increased special education services that exceed what can be offered in the typical elementary and middle school settings. In addition, the student population also consists of students who are returning to a public school after stepping down from an out of district placement. Most enrolled students have been diagnosed with one or more major mental health diagnoses. Students in grades 8 through 12 transition to the LeBlanc Therapeutic Day School.

The LeBlanc Therapeutic Day School is a substantially separate Special Education Program that services students in grades 8 through 12. All students that attend the LeBlanc must have an IEP with an emotional disability and a placement at a Public Day School. The sending school’s special education team determines the identified disability and placement need. Students that attend the LeBlanc must have significant emotional disabilities together with behavioral challenges that require a more restrictive school environment and increased special education services that exceed what can be offered in the typical middle/high school settings. Most enrolled students have been diagnosed with one or more major mental health diagnoses.

The Janice Adie Day School is a full day, five-day a week program which serves students in grades Pre K-12 with Autism. The students' unique needs require a smaller setting with more individualized and specialized programming. Our interdisciplinary teamwork in a supportive learning environment is designed to help every student succeed in class, the community and home through generalization of skills. Students are admitted to the Lowell Day School through the IEP/Team process. There are ten (10) classrooms, each consisting of one (1) teacher and three (3) paraprofessionals. All students at the Lowell Day School will participate in state and district-wide assessments as determined by their IEP.

Appendix J-3 Special Education Parental Notification Relative to Sex Education

In accordance with Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 71, Section 32A, the Lowell School Committee has adopted this policy on the rights of parents and guardians of our students in relation to curriculum that primarily involves human sexual education or human sexuality issues. At the beginning of each school year, all parents/guardians of students in our schools will be notified in writing of the courses and curriculum we offer that primarily involve human sexual education or human sexuality issues. Each school principal will be responsible for sending this notice. Parents/guardians of students who enroll in school after the start of the school year will be given the written notice at the time of enrollment. If the planned curriculum changes during the school year, to the extent practicable, parents/guardians will be notified of this fact in a timely manner before implementation.

Each such notice to parent/guardians will include a brief description of the curriculum covered by this policy, and will inform parents/guardians that they may:

● Exempt their child from any portion of the curriculum that primarily involves human sexual education or human sexuality issues, without penalty to the student, by sending a letter to the school Principal requesting an exemption. Any student who is exempted by request of the parent/guardian under this policy may be given an alternative assignment.

● Inspect and review program instruction materials for these curricula, which will be made reasonably accessible to parents/guardians and others to the extent practicable. Parents/guardians may arrange with the Principal to review the materials at the school.

A parent/guardian who is dissatisfied with a decision of the Principal concerning notice, access to instructional materials, or exemption for the student under this policy may send a written request to the Superintendent of schools for review of the issue. The Superintendent or Designee will review the issue and give the parent/guardian a timely written decision, preferably within four weeks of the request. A parent/guardian who is still dissatisfied after this process may send a written request to the Commissioner of Elementary and Secondary Education for review of the issue in dispute.

Appendix J-4 Special Education Student Records Regulations

A student record is any information that is kept about a student in school (grades, test scores, comments). It is made up of your “transcript” (name, address, courses taken, credits and grades) and the “temporary records” (progress reports, test scores, class rank, extracurricular activities, and any other relevant educational information). For students 14 years of age or older, the rights noted below belong to the student and his/her parents. For students under the age of 14, the rights noted below belong only to the parents.

Lowell Public Schools is obligated to abide by the rules/laws/regulations dictated within The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Massachusetts Regulation 603 CMR 23.00 details a Student and parent(s) rights with respect to Student Records.

Section 23.10: Notification requires that at least once during every school year, the school shall publish and distribute to students/parents annual notice of their general rights relative to student records, as contained herein. Upon request, Lowell Public School will make available to Parents and Students a complete copy of the regulations which will detail their rights.

Seeing your Records The student and the parents have the right to see and have copies made of everything in the student’s record within 10 days of a request. The school may not charge you more than the cost of the copies.

Privacy of your Records School personnel who work directly with the student may see the records when it is necessary for them to perform their duties. With very few exceptions, no one else may see student records without written permission of the student or parents.

Destroying your Records Pursuant to 603 CMR 23.06 (2) during the school year that a student is enrolled in a school, the Principal or his/her Designee shall periodically review and destroy misleading, outdated or irrelevant information (including photocopies made of original documents) contained in the temporary record provided that the eligible student and his or her parent are notified in writing and are given opportunity to receive the information or a copy of it prior to its destruction. A copy of such notice will be placed in the temporary record. If you do not want the Principal or their designee to destroy such records, or you wish to take custody of the records that are marked for destruction, then the parent(s)/guardian(s) must notify the Principal or their designee in writing of that request shortly after receipt of the notice of destruction.

Amending your Record and Appealing It

The student or parents may add any relevant written material to the record. If there is information in the record that the student or parents feel is inaccurate, misleading, or irrelevant and the student or parents want it removed, the student or parents may ask your Head of School to remove it (See Department of Education, Student Record Regulations 603 CMR 23:08).

If the request is denied, or if the student or parents have any other objections to the school records policy, there is an appeals process the student or parents can use. This process is described in Department of Education Records Regulations, 603 CMR 23:09.

Appendix M-1 Student Records This is just a summary of your rights under the regulations. You can get a copy of the regulations from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education or its Website (Chapter 71; Sections 34D and 34EF of the General Laws, 1973).

Academic Policies Page 8 Portrait of a Graduate

Over the past 18 months, Lowell Public Schools has been bringing together our students, families, educators, employers, and community partners to create a bold new vision for Lowell’s graduates.

Portrait of a Graduate (POG) is a community-driven process that will define success for Lowell students, including the values, knowledge, skills, and work habits they will need to thrive as learners, workers, and leaders in the 21st century. Six competencies were identified from this collective vision (Mind, Heart, Spirit, Kills, Network, and Leadership) as the key skills and attributes students should acquire and master by the end of their senior year. Our school community and stakeholders are working together on formalizing our action plan to infuse these competencies into the student experience at Lowell High School. History of Lowell High School

The Lowell School System began in 1824, seven years before the opening of Lowell High School in 1831. Lowell High School antedates the incorporation of Lowell as a city. The high school was first organized in December 1831 under 19-year-old Head of School Thomas M. Clark with 47 pupils.

The high school moved to the present location of Kirk and Anne Streets in 1840. In the early days of its existence, some of the students were only 9 or 10 years old. By 1883, the minimum age was 12 years for Lowell High School, which was the first public co-ed high school in the United States, but from 1840 to 1867, boys and girls had separate classrooms. The first diplomas were awarded in 1858. In 1863, alumni associations were formed and reunions were held.

In 1859, James C. Carney of the Lowell Institution for Savings established a fund to finance medals to be awarded to the top three male and female graduation students for excellence in character, scholarship, and attendance. This marked the first recognition of girls for academic achievement in high school.

In 1896, the handsome structure, still in use, known as the Coburn Building, was erected. Within 25 years, overcrowded conditions led Headmaster Cyrus W. Irish, for whom the present auditorium is named, to envision the large, well-equipped building that became a reality in 1922. In the fall of 1980, LHS students began to use the new addition, which included a modern cafeteria, field house, and swimming pool.

In the fall of 1997, students benefited from the 40 million dollar expansion and renovation of Lowell High School’s buildings. The construction included additional classrooms, a new library/media center, TV, and Technology Center, refurbishing of the auditorium, a second bridge, greatly expanded computer facilities, and numerous infrastructure repairs and replacements.

Academic Policies Page 9 In 1998, U.S. News & World Report recognized Lowell High School as one of 96 outstanding high schools in the nation. In 2008, Boston Magazine ranked Lowell High School as 25th on their list of the 50 Best Public High Schools in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

In the spring of 2011, Lowell High School was selected for the Advanced Placement Program’s Achievement District Honor Roll for 2011, acknowledging Lowell High School’s success and efforts to expand AP access, performance, and commitment to increasing student achievement.

In 2016 the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) approved a feasibility study for a new/renovated high school in Lowell. On May 1, 2018 the Lowell City Council formally voted for the preferred option which leaves the high school in its current location with a combination new/renovation on an expanded site. On May 7, 2019 the Lowell City Council authorized the bond for the new/renovated high school.

Student Course Load, Selection and Changes The nature of the program at Lowell High School requires that every student must carry a full schedule of classes that covers seven (7) courses per semester. parent/guardian/guardians and students must understand that once the program is set and the school year starts, a note from home does not authorize a change in the courses or schedule; nor does it give permission for dropping courses. Deadlines for course selections and changes will be established and widely publicized among the students. Requests for changes will be treated on an individual basis. No changes will be permitted after the established deadlines. The Head of School will have final authority on all of these matters.

Graduation Requirements To obtain a diploma of graduation from Lowell High School, each student must satisfy the following minimum requirements: ● Must have at least four (4) years attendance (eight complete semesters) at the high school level.* ● Must pass ten (10) credits in U.S. History and Government. ● Must pass twenty (20) credits in English. English must be selected and passed each year. No more than two core English courses may be taken during a semester without the approval of the English Department Chair. ● Must pass ten (10) credits in Mathematics. Students must pass Algebra IA, Algebra IB, Geometry A, and Geometry B. ● Must pass ten (10) credits in Science. ● Must select Physical Education each year and pass four (4) semesters in Physical Education for (10) credits. AFJROTC, Dance, Band, or Show Choir may be substituted each year for this requirement. This requirement may be waived only by the Head of School for documented medical excuse, for critical course conflicts, or for other extenuating circumstances. ● Must select Health Education A in the ninth (9 th) grade and Health Education B in the tenth (10th) grade. Both health courses (2.5 credits each) must be passed for a total of five (5) credits. AFJROTC may be substituted each year for this requirement. ● Must fulfill the standard requirement of ninety (90) credits of which at least twenty (20) credits must be earned in the senior year. ● Must pass the MCAS exam in ELA, Mathematics and Science.

Academic Policies Page 15 *Students who wish to appeal for a waiver of the 4-years of service requirement and/or the “at least 20 credits must be earned in the senior year” requirement, must submit a letter of appeal, with the recommendation of their House Dean, to the Head of School for final approval.

MCAS Competency Determination as a Graduation Requirement

Students must satisfy the MCAS requirements to earn a competency determination. Achieving Competency Determination indicates that the student is knowledgeable in the course materials that are tested by the MCAS (Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System).

To earn CD, students must achieve a scaled score of:

● at least 240 on the "legacy" (paper-based) grade 10 MCAS English language arts (ELA) and mathematics tests ● or a score of 472 on the "next-generation" (computer-based) ELA test and a score of 486 on the "next-generation" mathematics test) ● at least 220 on a high school "legacy" MCAS science test in one of the three subjects Lowell High School offers (biology, chemistry, or introductory physics)

Educational Proficiency Plan

An EPP is an educational planning tool to be developed for the subject area(s) in which students did not pass the mathematics MCAS and includes:

● A review of the student's strengths and weaknesses based on MCAS and other assessment results, coursework, grades, and teacher input; courses the student will be required to take and successfully complete in grades 11 and 12 in relevant content area(s) ● For the mathematics “legacy” test, students who receive a score between 220–238 must successfully complete an Educational Proficiency Plan (EPP) developed for them by Lowell High School in order to earn a CD. ● For the mathematics “next-generation” tests, students who have not yet scored a scaled score of 486 or higher on the mathematics test must successfully complete an Educational Proficiency Plan (EPP). ● Lowell High School does not require the ELA EPP due to LHS ELA requirements. ● There is no Science EPP.

Academic Policies Page 16 MCAS Performance Appeals

The MCAS Performance Appeals process was established in 2002 to provide eligible high school students who have been unable to pass the required MCAS tests with an additional opportunity to demonstrate through their course work that they meet or exceed the state's Competency Determination (CD) standard in order to earn a diploma.

An MCAS Performance Appeal is not a waiver of the MCAS requirements. It is an alternative route to completing the MCAS requirements.

A district may file an appeal for a student who has not yet passed one or more of the required MCAS high school tests if the student meets all eligibility requirements. Parents and students (if age 18 or over) may also request that the district file an appeal on behalf of the student. The superintendent or designee must file an appeal on behalf of a student with a disability if the parent (or student age 18 or older) requests it. The superintendent must affirm that the student is on track to meet local graduation requirements, the student's graduation is supported by the IEP Team, and is so indicated on the IEP form.

Types of Appeals

● Cohort Appeals

A cohort appeal is based on a comparison of the grade point average (GPA – as detailed in the LHS Student Handbook) and MCAS scores of a student for whom the appeal is filed and those of at least six other students in the school who were enrolled in the same courses at the same time as the student in the subject of the appeal.

● Transcript Appeals

A transcript appeal is intended only for students who transfer to Lowell High School in mid-March or later of their senior year. In these cases, the student's transcript, GPA, and other relevant academic evidence are submitted to the DESE to demonstrate that the student has the equivalent knowledge and skills of a student who has earned a passing MCAS score.

● Portfolio Appeals

The portfolio appeal must include specific student work samples collected during one or more years in high school that attempt to demonstrate that the student meets

Academic Policies Page 17 a comparable level of performance to a student who has earned a score of Needs Improvement on a high school MCAS test in the subject of the appeal.

Note

Requirements and specifications for establishing MCAS Competency Determinations are at all times based on Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education guidance. Any information in this section may be superseded by updated decisions.

MCAS Competency Determination as a Graduation Requirement

Students must satisfy the following MCAS requirements to earn a competency determination:

ELA and Math (a) Meet or exceed a scaled score of 240 on the English Language Arts and Mathematics Grade 10 MCAS test – OR (b) Meet or exceed a scaled score of 220 on the English Language Arts and Mathematics Grade 10 MCAS tests – AND – complete an Educational Proficiency Plan*.

Science Earn a scaled score of at least 220 on one of the high school MCAS Science tests. Lowell High School offers the Biology, Chemistry, and Introductory Physics tests.

*An Educational Proficiency Plan (EPP) for each required content area shall include, at a minimum:

1. A review of a student's strengths and weaknesses in the content area. 2. Courses that the student will be required to take and must successfully complete in grades 11 and 12 that will satisfy state MCAS EPP requirements. 3. A description of the assessments the school will administer (on at least an annual basis) to determine whether the student is making progress towards, or has satisfied, grade 10 requirements. These assessments include MCAS tests and/or other methods supported by the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.

MCAS Appeals Processes

Students may request an appeal of the MCAS requirement through two procedures:

Performance Appeals Process

A. Eligibility Requirements 1. Must have taken MCAS testing three (3) times. 2. Must have 95% attendance for current and previous school years. 3. Must have participated satisfactorily in prescribed MCAS tutoring sessions.

Academic Policies Page 18 4. Any extenuating circumstances must be well documented.

• For Science MCAS, the student must have taken an MCAS high school STE test or an MCAS Alternate Assessment at least once, and be currently enrolled in a high school STE course, or has completed grade 12. • Note: The appeal can only be in the same discipline as the MCAS test the student took.

B. Evidence/Performance Requirements

1. Teacher Recommendation in subject area 2. Students must have a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) in the subject area. 3. Cohort Group GPA (the student must perform similarly to classroom peers).

Portfolio Appeals Process

1. Portfolios in each subject area must reflect the learning standards in the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks. 2. Portfolio evidence must be produced over a period of more than a single year. 3. Specific learning standards must be addressed in each area.

Academic Performance Each student’s academic performance in each class is reported quarterly, with a grading system from 0 to 100. No grades lower than 50 are assigned, so that students are encouraged to improve their performance and have the potential to earn a passing grade for the semester.

The grades are combined into a Weighted Average, based on the levels of the courses taken:

Level Weight Advanced Placement (AP) 2.0 High Honors (HH) 1.9 Honors (H) 1.8 College (C) 1.7 Non-Weighted (N) 0

The Weighted Average is the mark received, times the weight for the course, times the credit for the course added together and then divided by the total number of credits. The steps to calculate the Weighted Average are:

Academic Policies Page 19 1. MxWxC is computed for each course where M=Mark received, W=Weight of course, and C=Credits for course 2. The products (MxWxC) obtained for all courses taken (excluding non-weighted courses) are then added together. 3. The credits for each course (excluding non-weighted courses) are added together. 4. The total in item 2 is divided by the total in item 3 to obtain the points for the Weighted Average.

Example: Courses Taken Mark xWeight x Credits = Points English (AP) 90 2.0 2.5 450.00 Math (HH) 82 1.9 2.5 389.50 Science (C) 85 1.7 2.5 361.25 History (C) 83 1.7 2.5 352.75 Spanish (H) 70 1.8 2.5 315.00 12.5 1868.50 *Health (N) 90 0 2.5* 0 *Dance 1 (N) 80 0 2.5* 0 1868.50 total points/12.5 credits = 149.48 points (Weighted Average) *Non-weighted courses and their credits are not included in the Weighted Average calculation.

The Weighted Average will be used to calculate a Weighted GPA based on the Admissions Standards for the Massachusetts State Colleges and University as developed by the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education.

The Weighted GPA will appear on report cards at the end of each student’s sophomore year, and all report cards in the junior and senior years. The report card and transcript will also indicate the GPA profile of the senior class and the range of highest and lowest GPAs.

Individual student class rank or specific percentiles are not reported. In case of need for a particular program, the student may consult with his or her guidance counselor if more specific information is required.

Grade Adjustment for Students Transferring Course Levels When transferring from one course level (Honors, College) to another level, a student’s grade will be adjusted by the Department Head in the following manner: The mark received in the course being dropped multiplied by the weight for that course; divided by the weight of the course being entered (see section entitled Academic Performance to find course weight) only in the quarter the student makes the change to another class, will yield the grade for the course which the student is entering.

Academic Policies Page 20 Example of adjustment: Students transferring from Honors level to College level with an Honors level grade of 68 will receive a College level grade of 72. Computation: 68x18 = 1224 1224/17 = 72

Advanced Placement Courses Students who qualify by successfully attaining the required prerequisites as outlined in the course of studies catalog may take Advanced Placement Courses. If a qualified student elects one or more advanced placement courses, it presupposes an agreement and commitment by the student to take the Advanced Placement Exams that are given annually in May. All AP students will be required to register and pay for their own AP Exam(s) by the November 15th deadline. The cost of an Advanced Placement Exam for the 2020-2021school year was $95.00 per exam.

Students that qualify for a fee reduction waiver (based on financial criteria set by the College Board) will have a reduced price of no more than $53 per exam. Applications for fee reduction waivers are available through the College and Career Center at Lowell High School, and will be handed out as part of the registration process in October.

Failure to meet the financial obligation and /or failure to take the Advanced Placement Exam shall result in the removal of the AP course designation from the student’s transcript. A student in good standing with extenuating circumstances can apply for consideration for a waiver of this requirement with medical documentation.

Early College Lowell and Dual Enrollment Procedures (taking courses with college credit) ● This option will be open to students in their junior and senior years. ● All 9th and 10th grade students are eligible to take a one credit college course aligned with Freshman Seminar and Sophomore English. ● The student will obtain the application and discuss the matter with the appropriate guidance counselor and the Early College Specialist. ● Students must apply for approval from the Head of School by the established deadline. ● Any combination of courses taken at the college and at Lowell High School must total at least an equivalent of 5 full courses during each semester. ● No more than seven (7) weighted courses are allowed per semester. ● Students must adhere to the official add/drop policies established by the college/university. If a student fails to properly withdraw from a course, he or she will receive a failing grade and forfeit future opportunities to participate in the Early College and Dual Enrollment program. ● Any tuition or other costs required for courses taken at the college beyond the allotted amount, including textbooks, will be the responsibility of the student. ● The Head of School will issue a judgment of approval or disapproval based on the best academic interest of the student and the school and in compliance with the requirements for graduation as established by Massachusetts State laws and the

Academic Policies Page 21 policy and regulations of the Lowell School Committee. The Head of School will render the decision within two weeks of receipt of the application.

Report Cards Report Cards are issued four times each year. Grades are recorded in numerical form with 65 being the passing grade.

Progress reports are issued at the mid-point of each marking period, so that parents/guardians are aware of their child’s academic standing.

Honor Roll—High Honor Roll The Honor Roll and High Honor Roll are determined at the end of each marking period and are based on the grades received that marking period, regardless of course weight. Students attaining an average of 80 percent or greater in each academic course (minimum of 4), are Honor Roll members for that marking period; except that students attaining an average of 90 percent or greater in each academic course (minimum of 4) which meet five periods each week are High Honor Roll members for that marking period.

Honorable Mention for Scholarship At the Commencement Ceremony, Honorable Mention shall be made of all graduating students whose average rank in the Academic Area for the 3 years prior to graduation has been 90 percent or higher.

Valedictorian, Salutatorian Each year the two topped-ranked students by GPA who have been members of Lowell High School for at least two full years immediately prior to graduation; and who have earned at least 55 credits in courses taken at Lowell High School, shall be named Valedictorian and Salutatorian. The Valedictorian and Salutatorian are determined after the fourth report card of the senior year.

Carney Medals (established in 1859) ● There shall be neither more nor less than six medals annually conferred.

● They shall be restricted to those members of the graduating class who have been members of the school for at least two full years immediately prior to graduation; and who have earned at least 55 credits in courses taken at Lowell High School. The awards shall be based on general excellence and not have exclusive references to the final year.

● Three shall be bestowed on that number of young ladies who excel in all that constitutes a good scholar, and similarly three on young gentlemen.

● The element of good scholarship to enter into the account shall include rank in daily recitations. The account shall be made up as follows:

Academic Policies Page 22 ▪ Rank in scholarship shall be the weighted average of all the studies in the course. (See section on “Academic Performance.”) ▪ No reduction shall be made for a necessary absence, but truancy shall disqualify any student. ▪ In reckoning ranks for Carney Medals, ranks gained in subjects already credited as passed shall not be counted.

● The Carney Medalists are determined after the fourth report card of the senior year.

Eligibility for Academic Awards at Commencement In order for a student to be eligible to receive an academic award, such as a Carney Medal, National Honor Society membership, Valedictorian, Salutatorian, or any similar type, students in grades 10-12 must carry a full schedule of classes that consists of five (5) academic courses plus Physical Education and Health. Freshmen must take six (6) academic classes.

Eligibility for Senior Honors Night Scholarships Lowell High School awards numerous scholarships and other honors to seniors at the time of graduation. Specific information is provided by the College and Career Center each year.

Academic Policies Page 24 Student Procedural Matters

School Hours School hours are 7:55 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Students are expected to attend all classes and not leave school before the 2:30 dismissal bell. Students must leave the building upon dismissal. The only students who should be in the building after school are students involved in supervised activities: ● Tutoring ● Detention ● Athletics ● Band ● Clubs and Activities ● Meetings with Classroom Teachers

Students will follow school specific health and safety protocols for arrival and dismissal to ensure the health and safety of everyone.

Student ID Badge All students and staff must wear an ID Badge clearly visible around the neck at all times during in-person learning and after school activities. Advisory and classroom teachers will check each class period to ensure that students are wearing their ID Badge.

Students are required to report to their house office at the start of the day if they do not have their ID Badge. The house office will issue a temporary ID. After the 4th incident and each subsequent incident, detention will be given by the House Dean. Please note that students found without an ID Badge after the first period of the day will receive an automatic detention. Chronic disregard of the ID badge policy will result in further disciplinary action up to and including suspension.

Students are responsible for their ID badges. If the badge is lost, the student is responsible for purchasing a new one in Student Support Services. The replacement cost is $5.00. ID Badges are the property of Lowell High School and must not be altered or defaced in any way.

Prohibited Items The following items are considered disruptive to the educational process at LHS and are not allowed in school: ● Hats ● Video Games ● Hand Held Laser Pointers ● Playing Cards ● Tobacco Products (including hookahs) ● E-Cigarettes (vape) ● Lighter/Matches (possession will lead to immediate suspension) ● Skateboards/Scooters/Roller Blades/Heelys/Hoverboards

Student Procedural Matters Page 25 ● Other Items or Devices deemed inappropriate by the Head of School

Students displaying and/or using these devices will have the device confiscated and turned over to security. Though the school will secure the device, the ultimate responsibility for any loss or damage remains with the student who brought the prohibited item to school. A parent/guardian must come into school to pick up the item. Playing cards, tobacco products, lighter, and matches will not be returned. All confiscated items must be claimed by the last day of the school year, any item(s) not claimed will be disposed of one week after the official end of the school year. Skateboards/Scooters/Roller Blades must be left in the student’s locker at all times during the school day and students are not allowed to use heelys on school property. These items will be confiscated if used in school or if students are carrying them during the school day. Hoverboards are not allowed on school property.

Cell Phones Cell phones have become the normal means for parents/guardians to coordinate after-school activities, schedules, and transportation issues. Recognizing this reality but also needing to ensure that the educational process is not disrupted and the integrity of testing is not compromised, the following policy will apply to the issue of cell phones within the school:

● Cell phones and other electronic devices must be off and put away while in school or participating in remote learning except as itemized: o Cell phones and other electronic devices may be used in the cafeteria during lunches. Silent cell phone use may occur in the hallways during class changing time. Silent cell phone use is allowable for students’ individual communication needs; photography and videography are prohibited in the halls without prior permission. This privilege must not interfere with students arriving to class on time and the phone must be turned off before entering class.

LPS FACE MASK RECOMMENDATIONS

In compliance with the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) and the Department of Public Health (DPH) updated 8/2/2021:

General considerations if using a face mask:

● The mouth and nose are fully covered and the covering fits snugly against the sides of the face so there are no gaps.

Student Procedural Matters Page 34 ● The cloth face covering does not constrict or create difficulty breathing while wearing. ● The cloth face covering is tied or otherwise secured to prevent slipping. ● Avoid touching your face as much as possible. ● Keep the covering clean. Clean hands with soap and water or alcohol-based hand sanitizer immediately, before putting on, after touching or adjusting, and after removing the cloth face covering. ● In general, face masks should be washed regularly (e.g., daily and whenever soiled). Follow laundry instructions as directed. ● Do mark the mask with your initials or name in permanent ink. ● Do dispose of one-time use masks in the trash can. ● Don’t touch the outside of your mask while it is on your face. ● Don’t share it with anyone else. ● Don’t pull your mask below your chin while you are wearing it. Leaving the mask dangling or improperly fitted to your face creates opportunities for cross-contamination.

If wearing a mask, it is recommended that face masks be plain and/or include LPS or college/university logo masks. However, ultimately all masks must follow the school dress code:

Any other dress that distracts, disrupts, intimidates, or provokes can be deemed inappropriate by the Principal or designee.

Additional Considerations for Students who are wearing masks:

The student may need a mask break. In general, mask breaks should be scheduled at regular intervals that all students are aware and reminded of.

Student Procedural Matters Page 35 Discipline

In LHS, we are committed to upholding the rights of all individuals and holding each other accountable for creating and maintaining an inclusive, respectful and equitable school community. We welcome all stakeholders-students, parents/guardians, families, faculty and school staff, community partners- in a collaborative schooling process that upholds our collective commitment to empower all voices to create a more just and inclusive school community.

It is expected that all students comply with school policies to help ensure a safe and respectful environment conducive to learning. Collaborative problem solving will be accessed and restorative justice methods will be explored as the primary option in addressing these matters. If the inappropriate behavior continues, the student may be referred to the House Office for further consequences that can include detention, referral to the Learning Center, and out of school suspension. Major violations may result in an expulsion hearing before the Head of School. Please note that violation of school rules could result in notification of noncompliance to the probation office.

Code of Discipline The Code of Discipline will be read consistently with Chapter 222 of the Acts of 2012, 603 CMR 53.00 and the following General Laws: M.G.L. Chapter 71, section 37H ¾; M.G.L. Chapter 71, section 37H; M.G.L. Chapter 71, section 37H ½; M.G.L. Chapter 76, Sections 16 &17.

Major Violations Listing All major violations may result in suspension or expulsion at the discretion of the House Dean.

Habitual School Offender (M.G.L. Chapter 119, Section 21) School officials have the authority to file a Child Requiring Assistance (CRA) with the Court noting that the student is a Habitual School Offender- a child who repeatedly fails to obey the lawful and reasonable commands of the school.

Major and Other Violations; In-School Suspensions; Short-Term Suspension; Emergency Removal; Long Term Suspension (not to exceed 90 school days) (M.G.L. Chapter 71, section 37H ¾)

Learning Center: The Learning Center, formerly known as“In-school suspension" means removal of a student from regular classroom activities, but not from the school premises, for no more than ten (10) consecutive school days, or no more than ten (10) school days cumulatively for multiple infractions during the school year. Removal solely from participation in extracurricular activities or school-sponsored events, or both, shall not count as removal in calculating school days. In-school suspension for ten (10) days or less, consecutively or cumulatively during a school year, shall not be considered a short-term suspension under these regulations. If a student is placed in in-school suspension for more than ten (10) days, consecutively or cumulatively during a school year, such suspension shall be deemed a long-term suspension for due process, appeal, and reporting purposes

The Head of School/Designee may impose an in-school suspension for a disciplinary offense provided that the Head of School/Designee follows the due process set forth within this paragraph and provided that the student has the opportunity to make academic progress. The Head of School/Designee shall inform the student of the disciplinary offense charged and the basis for the charge, and provide the student an opportunity to dispute the charges and explain the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident. If the Head of School/Designee determines that the student committed the disciplinary offense, the Head of School/Designee shall inform the student of the length of the student's Discipline Page 38 in-school suspension, which shall not exceed ten (10) days, cumulatively or consecutively, in a school year.

On the same day as the in-school suspension decision, the Head of School/Designee shall make reasonable efforts to notify the parent/guardian/guardian/guardian orally of the disciplinary offense, the reasons for concluding that the student committed the infraction, and the length of the in-school suspension. The Head of School/Designee shall also invite the parent/guardian to a meeting to discuss the student's academic performance and behavior, strategies for student engagement, and possible responses to the behavior. Such a meeting shall be scheduled on the day of the suspension if possible, and if not, as soon thereafter as possible. If the Head of School/Designee is unable to reach the parent/guardian after making and documenting at least two (2) attempts to do so, such attempts shall constitute reasonable efforts for purposes of orally informing the parent/guardian of the in-school suspension.

The Head of School/Designee shall send written notice to the student and parent/guardian about the in-school suspension, including the reason and the length of the in-school suspension, and inviting the parent/guardian to a meeting with the Head of School/Designee, if such meeting has not already occurred. The Head of School/Designee shall deliver such notice on the day of the suspension by hand-delivery, certified mail, first-class mail, email to an address provided by the parent/guardian for school communications, or by other method of delivery agreed to by the Head of School/Designee and the parent/guardian/guardian.

A student who has been placed into in-house suspension faces the loss of all privileges at the school at the time of suspension. A student will be placed into in-house suspension in place of outside suspension at the discretion of the House Dean. ● In-house suspension hours are 7:55 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. No Early Dismissal. ● Students report to their house office immediately after checking in with their first period. ● Students must bring all required materials: textbooks, notebooks, pen/pencil. ● No cell phones or other electronic devices are allowed. ● Students must complete all assigned work. ● Students are responsible for returning all work to appropriate teachers. ● Any student who leaves the room without permission, or leaves with permission but does not return to the in-house suspension room, will be automatically suspended out. The student will complete the original in-house penalty. ● Failure to successfully comply with an in-school suspension may result in further disciplinary action.

Short-Term Suspensions "Short-term suspension" means the removal of a student from the school premises and regular classroom activities for ten (10) consecutive school days or less. A Head of School/Designee may, at his or her discretion, allow a student to serve a short-term

Discipline Page 39 suspension in school. Removal solely from participation in extracurricular activities or school-sponsored events, or both, shall not count as removal in calculating school days. The Head of School/Designee may not impose a suspension as a consequence for a disciplinary offense without first providing the student and the parent/guardian oral and written notice, and providing the student an opportunity for a hearing on the charge and the parent/guardian an opportunity to participate in such hearing.

The Head of School/Designee shall provide oral and written notice to the student and the parent/guardian in English and in the primary language of the home if other than English, or other means of communication where appropriate. The notice shall set forth in plain language: (a) the disciplinary offense; (b) the basis for the charge; (c) the potential consequences, including the potential length of the student's suspension; (d) the opportunity for the student to have a hearing with the Head of School/Designee concerning the proposed suspension, including the opportunity to dispute the charges and to present the student's explanation of the alleged incident, and for the parent/guardian to attend the hearing; (e) the date, time, and location of the hearing; (f) the right of the student and the student's parent/guardian to interpreter services at the hearing if needed to participate;

The Head of School/Designee shall make reasonable efforts to notify the parent/guardian orally of the opportunity to attend the hearing. To conduct a hearing without the parent/guardian present, the Head of School/Designee must be able to document reasonable efforts to include the parent/guardian. The Head of School/Designee is presumed to have made reasonable efforts if the Head of School/Designee has sent written notice and has documented at least two (2) attempts to contact the parent/guardian in the manner specified by the parent/guardian for emergency notification. Written notice to the parent/guardian may be made by hand delivery, first-class mail, certified mail, and email to an address provided by the parent/guardian for school communications, or any other method of delivery agreed to by the Head of School/Designee and parent/guardian.

The purpose of the hearing with the Head of School/Designee is to hear and consider information regarding the alleged incident for which the student may be suspended, provide the student an opportunity to dispute the charges and explain the circumstances surrounding the alleged incident, determine if the student committed the disciplinary offense, and if so, the consequences for the infraction. At a minimum, the Head of School/Designee shall discuss the disciplinary offense, the basis for the charge, and any other pertinent information. The student also shall have an opportunity to present information, including mitigating facts, that the Head of School/Designee should consider in determining whether other remedies and consequences may be appropriate. The Head of School/Designee shall provide the parent/guardian, if present, an opportunity to discuss the student's conduct and offer information, including mitigating circumstances,

Discipline Page 40 that the Head of School/Designee should consider in determining consequences for the student.

Based on the available information, including mitigating circumstances, the Head of School/Designee shall determine whether the student committed the disciplinary offense, and, if so, what remedy or consequence will be imposed.

The Head of School/Designee shall notify the student and parent/guardian of the determination and the reasons for it, and, if the student is suspended, the type and duration of suspension and the opportunity to make up assignments and such other school work as needed to make academic progress during the period of removal. The determination shall be in writing and may be in the form of an update to the original written notice.

Emergency Removal The Head of School/Designee may remove a student from school temporarily when a student is charged with a disciplinary offense and the continued presence of the student poses a danger to persons or property, or materially and substantially disrupts the order of the school and, in the Head of School/Designee's judgment, there is no alternative available to alleviate the danger or disruption. The Head of School/Designee shall immediately notify the superintendent in writing of the removal and the reason for it, and describe the danger presented by the student. The temporary removal shall not exceed two (2) school days following the day of the emergency removal, during which time the Head of School/Designee shall: (a) Make immediate and reasonable efforts to orally notify the student and the student's parent/guardian of the emergency removal, the reason for the need for emergency removal, and which meets and complies with the notice and due process requirements of short-term suspension. (b) Provide written notice to the student and parent/guardian which meets and complies with the notice and due process requirements of short-term suspension; (c) Provide the student an opportunity for a hearing with the Head of School/Designee that complies with the notice requirements of short-term and long-term suspensions, and the parent/guardian an opportunity to attend the hearing, before the expiration of the two (2) school days, unless an extension of time for hearing is otherwise agreed to by the Head of School/Designee, student, and parent/guardian. (d) Render a decision orally on the same day as the hearing, and in writing no later than the following school day, which meets and complies with the notice and due process requirements of short-term and long-term suspension.

The Head of School/Designee may not remove a student from school on an emergency basis for a disciplinary offense until adequate provisions have been made for the student's safety and transportation.

Discipline Page 41 Long-Term Suspensions and Appeal Process under 37H ¾ "Long-term suspension" means the removal of a student from the school premises and regular classroom activities for more than ten (10) consecutive school days, or for more than ten (10) school days cumulatively for multiple disciplinary offenses in any school year. A Head of School/Designee may, in his or her discretion, allow a student to serve a long-term suspension in school. Removal solely from participation in extracurricular activities or school-sponsored events, or both, shall not count as removal in calculating school days. Except for students who are charged with a disciplinary offense set forth in subsections (a) or (b) of G.L. c. 71, §37 H, or in section 37H ½ of G.L. c. 71, no student may be placed on long-term suspension for one or more disciplinary offenses for more than ninety (90) school days in a school year beginning with the first day that the student is removed from school. No long-term suspension shall extend beyond the end of the school year in which such suspension is imposed.

The purpose of the hearing is the same as the purpose of a short-term suspension hearing. At a minimum, in addition to the rights afforded a student in a short-term suspension hearing, the student shall have the following rights:

● In advance of the hearing, the opportunity to review the student's record and the documents upon which the Head of School/Designee may rely in making a determination to suspend the student or not; ● the right to be represented by counsel or a lay person of the student's choice, at the student's/parent/guardian's expense; ● the right to produce witnesses on his or her behalf and to present the student's explanation of the alleged incident, but the student may not be compelled to do so; ● the right to cross-examine witnesses presented by the school district; ● the right to request that the hearing be recorded by the Head of School/Designee, and to receive a copy of the audio recording upon request. If the student or parent/guardian requests an audio recording, the Head of School/Designee shall inform all participants before the hearing that an audio record will be made and a copy will be provided to the student and parent/guardian upon request.

The Head of School/Designee shall provide the parent/guardian, if present, an opportunity to discuss the student's conduct and offer information, including mitigating circumstances, that the Head of School/Designee should consider in determining consequences for the student.

Based on the evidence, the Head of School/Designee shall determine whether the student committed the disciplinary offense, and, if so, after considering mitigating circumstances and alternatives to suspension, what remedy or consequence will be imposed, in place of or in addition to a long-term suspension. The Head of School/Designee shall send the written determination to the student and parent/guardian by hand-delivery, certified mail, first-class mail, email to an address provided by the parent/guardian for school

Discipline Page 42 communications, or any other method of delivery agreed to by the Head of School/Designee and the parent/guardian. If the Head of School/Designee decides to suspend the student, the written determination shall in accordance with 603 CMR 53.08(3)(d)(1-5) state the following:

a) the process for appealing the decision, including that the student or parent/guardian must file a written notice of appeal with the superintendent within five (5) calendar days of the effective date of the long-term suspension; provided that within the five (5) calendar days, the student or parent/guardian may request and receive from the superintendent an extension of time for filing the written notice for up to seven (7) additional calendar days; and that b) the long-term suspension will remain in effect unless and until the superintendent decides to reverse the Head of School/Designee's determination on appeal.

A student who is placed on long-term suspension following a hearing with the Head of School/Designee shall have the right to appeal the Head of School/Designee's decision to the superintendent.

The student or parent/guardian shall file a notice of appeal with the superintendent within five (5) calendar days of the effective date of the long-term suspension, unless an extension is requested (see 5-above). If the appeal is not timely filed, the superintendent may deny the appeal, or may allow the appeal in his or her discretion, for good cause.

The superintendent shall hold the hearing within three (3) school days of the student's request, unless the student or parent/guardian requests an extension of up to seven (7) additional calendar days, in which case the superintendent shall grant the extension. The superintendent shall make a good faith effort to include the parent/guardian in the hearing. The superintendent shall be presumed to have made a good faith effort if he or

Discipline Page 43 she has made efforts to find a day and time for the hearing that would allow the parent/guardian and superintendent to participate. The superintendent shall send written notice to the parent/guardian of the date, time, and location of the hearing.

The superintendent shall conduct a hearing to determine whether the student committed the disciplinary offense of which the student is accused, and if so, what the consequence shall be. The superintendent shall arrange for an audio recording of the hearing, a copy of which shall be provided to the student or parent/guardian upon request. The superintendent shall inform all participants before the hearing that an audio record will be made of the hearing and a copy will be provided to the student and parent/guardian upon request. The student shall have all the rights afforded the student at the Head of School/Designee’s hearing for long-term suspension.

The superintendent shall issue a written decision within five (5) calendar days of the hearing as required by 603 CMR 53.08(3)(d)(1-4) stating the following:

If the superintendent determines that the student committed the disciplinary offense, the superintendent may impose the same or a lesser consequence than the Head of School/Designee, but shall not impose a suspension greater than that imposed by the Head of School/Designee's decision.

The decision of the superintendent shall be the final decision of the school district, charter school, or virtual school, with regard to the suspension.

Major Violations – Long-Term Suspension or Expulsion (M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section 37H) The following violations may result in a hearing before the Head of School to determine whether or not the student should be suspended or expelled:

I. Assaulting and/or battering school personnel Any student, who assaults a principal, assistant principal, teacher, teacher’s aide or other educational staff on school premises or at school-sponsored events, including athletic games, may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the school or school district by the Head of School. (This rule also pertains to school buses.) *Threatening violent acts on school personnel can/could be classified as an assault. II. Possession or use of a dangerous weapon or a reasonable facsimile of dangerous weapon, including, but not limited to a gun or knife

Discipline Page 44 Any student who is found on school premises or at school-sponsored or school-related events, including athletic games, in possession of a dangerous weapon or a reasonable facsimile including, but not limited to, a gun or knife, may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the school or school district by the Head of School. III. The sale of and/or possession and/or transfer of controlled substance Any student who is found on school premises or at school-sponsored or school-related events, including athletic games, in possession of a controlled substance as defined in chapter ninety-four C, including, but not limited to marijuana, cocaine, and heroin, may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the school or school district by the Head of School.

Hearing Leading to Suspensions or Expulsions (Due Process) Any student who is charged with a violation of any of the above mentioned items shall be notified in writing of an opportunity for a hearing; provided however, that the student may have representation, along with the opportunity to present evidence and witnesses at said hearing before the Head of School. After said hearing, the Head of School may, at his discretion, decide to suspend rather than expel a student who has been determined by the Head of School to violate any of the above-mentioned items.

Appeal Process for a Suspension or Expulsion under 37H Any student who has been suspended or expelled from a school district pursuant to 37H shall have the right to appeal to the Superintendent. The suspended or expelled student shall have ten (10) days from the date of the suspension or expulsion in which to notify the superintendent of his or her appeal. The student has the right to counsel at a hearing before the superintendent if the student so chooses. The subject matter of the appeal shall not be limited solely to a factual determination of whether the student has violated any provisions of this section.

Student Charged with or Convicted of a Felony and Appeal Process under 37H ½ (M.G.L. Chapter 71, Section 37H1/2) Upon the issuance and/or conviction of a criminal felony charging a student with a felony or upon the issuance of a felony delinquency complaint against a student, the Head of School may expel or choose to suspend such student for a period of time determined appropriate by the Head of School if the Head of School determines that the student’s continued presence in school would have a substantial detrimental effect on the general welfare of the school. The student shall receive written notification of the charges and the reasons for such suspension prior to such suspension taking effect.

The student or the student’s parent/guardian shall have the right to appeal the suspension or expulsion to the superintendent and may bring counsel if the student so chooses. The student or student’s parent/guardian shall notify the superintendent in writing of his request for an appeal no later than five (5) calendar days following the effective date of the suspension. The superintendent shall hold a hearing with the student and the

Discipline Page 45 student’s parent/guardian or guardian within three calendar days for the student’s request for an appeal.

School Committee Exclusions (subject to and must be read consistent with M.G.L. Chapter 71, section 37H ¾) (M.G.L. Chapter 76, Sections 16 &17) The Head of School or the School Committee may legitimately discipline students for misconduct even if the misconduct is not specifically described in these disciplinary rules. Such action will be in accordance with due process requirements and shall not be exercised arbitrarily or capriciously. This may also be applied to activities that are also off school grounds and that the offender knew his or her conduct was seriously wrong and contrary to school policy.

Note: Nicholas B. v. School Committee of Worcester: The court upheld the actions of Worcester School Committee in that, when a student was involved in an incident after school off of school grounds that was planned in school, that student or students are still subject to school discipline. The court ruled that the student knew his violent conduct was seriously wrong and contrary to school policy, even though the code of discipline did not address conduct off school grounds.

Off-Campus Status Rules pertaining to student behavior are also in full force and effect for students while in off-campus status during school hours and after school hours and non-school days as part of a team, club, field trip, errand, school transportation, or as a participant or spectator of any other school sanctioned activity in or around the site of the activity (including parking areas.) This also pertains to remote learning or virtual classrooms.

Suspensions ● A student on suspension is not allowed on the school premises nor allowed to participate in or be a spectator or attendant at school functions, ceremonies, and extracurricular activities. ● Students who are suspended will be provided the opportunity to receive educational services and make academic progress consistent with the school wide education service plan. It is the student’s responsibility to complete the work in the time period indicated by the service plan.

Tutoring for Long Term Suspension The Engagement Center services students receiving tutoring for long term suspensions.

Discipline Page 46 Transmittal of Expulsion Records When a student is expelled or suspended under the provisions of this section, no school or school district within the Commonwealth shall be required to admit such student or to provide educational services to said student. If said student does apply for admission to another school or school district, the superintendent of the school district to which the application is made may request and shall receive from the superintendent of the school expelling said student a written statement of the reasons for said expulsion.

Discipline Page 47 Attendance

Lowell High School has high expectations for student attendance. Grades earned in any course shall reflect the student’s daily participation as well as the fulfillment of other academic requirements as established by the teacher. The learning experience that takes place in the classroom environment or on the virtual platform with your peers is a meaningful and essential part of the classroom structure. Time lost from class, in terms of opportunity for interaction amongst students and teachers, is irretrievable. Moreover, each classroom is a community in which students are expected to play an active daily role as a member of Lowell High School’s larger community, as reflected in our mission. Therefore, daily classroom attendance (in-person or remote) is considered to be an integral part of each student’s course of study.

We expect every student to: ● Attend school every day that school is in session, including remote learning sessions ● Be on time for every class, and arrive prepared to learn to include logging in on-time to participate in remote learning

Steps to Ensure Earning Course Credit: ● The school committee policy allows for no more than 8 unexcused absences per semester. ● A student is obliged to fulfill the course requirements as established by the teacher’s room management plan and school committee policy. ● A student must make up the work missed during absences in accordance with this agreement. ● It is the student’s responsibility to arrange to make up work due to absences within five (5) days after the absence. ● Teachers must provide makeup work within these time constraints at the request of the student. Extenuating circumstances that may make it difficult to complete work within a five-day period, such as hospitalization, should be discussed with the House Dean and guidance counselor.

Definition of Absence An absence is a day or series of days missed from school. Every reasonable attempt will be made to contact parent(s)/guardians after each absence. When a student is absent from school, an automated attendance call is made to the home. Attendance warning letters are mailed to the home or emailed to the parent/guardian on the 4th and 6th absences whether the absence is excused or not.

Attendance Failure A student who has been absent for more than eight (8) days in a semester and is passing the course, will receive No Credit (NC) for the course unless official documentation is provided to the house office excusing the absences.

Attendance Page 48 Excused Absences ● Illness of the student—requires original doctor’s note indicating dates excused ● Hospitalization of the student—requires hospital/doctor’s note ● Disability of the student such that the disability precludes the student from attending school—requires medical documentation (Physician’s Statement) ● Court proceedings—requires court documents ● Other official proceedings—documentation required ● Pre-approved school sanctioned events (Senior college visits*)—letterhead ● Death of a family member—death notice ● Religious holidays ● All school suspensions (both in and out)

* Junior and Senior college visits a maximum of three (3) days for the year Submit all paperwork to the House Office via email or fax.

Important Notice Parent/guardian notes will only ensure a student can make up missed classroom work because it documents that the student was not truant, however absences covered by parent/guardian notes are not considered excused absences. For any absence to be considered and recorded as “excused,” official documentation as noted above must be provided.

Students and parent(s)/guardians are urged to maintain regular communication with the house office staff to keep them informed about any concerns they may have about academic, health or social issues that may impact your class attendance whether in-person or remote.

Family vacations are NOT considered excused absences.

Please be aware that the Department of Education requires that all school systems have 180 days of school each school year. The official school calendar at the beginning of this handbook has five (5) possible snow days included in the calendar. If the school system has more than five unscheduled school closings, the additional days will be added to the end of the school year so that the school system is in compliance with the 180-day requirement. These added days count as regular school days. Students are required to attend these days and no dispensation will be given for students with summer travel plans.

Missing School Work The student is responsible for making arrangements with classroom teachers to get assignments before scheduled absences. Students out for a short period of time can get their missing assignments upon return. If a student will be out of school for 5 or more days due to injury/illness, a request can be made through the Clerk Scheduler in the student’s house office to collect the assignments from the classroom teachers. Students are encouraged to use Google Classroom for their assignments when possible.

Attendance Page 49 Keeping regular two-way communication with your teachers and house office will help make sure you are prepared and have access to any missing assignments.

Students with Disabilities A child is not presumed disabled solely because he or she is entitled to special education services or accommodations due to a 504 plan. Any child with an individualized educational plan (I.E.P) or 504 plan is expected to attend school regularly unless there are health issues documented on the plan that prevent attendance. In the event of absence from or tardiness to school that is related to an existing 504 plan, parent(s)/guardians should send a note to the house office that references the 504 plan.

Verification of Student Enrollment Verification of student enrollment at Lowell High School will only be completed after the student has been attending Lowell High School on a regular basis for a minimum of 30 days either in-person or confirmed regular participation in remote learning.

Procedures for parent/guardians and Students Regarding Attendance ● Lowell High School follows the District’s Attendance Intervention Plan for all absences as outlined on the district’s web site. ● All student absences must be documented in writing. The document must be turned in to the advisory teacher within 5 days of the student’s return. The advisory teacher will forward all notes electronically to the house office daily. ● Notes regarding an absence will ensure a student is not designated truant.

Documentation regarding absences must include the following: ▪ Student’s name and ID number ▪ Exact date (day/date/year) of the absence(s) ▪ The reason for the absence ▪ parent/guardian name ▪ Signature ▪ Phone number

Procedures for parent/guardians and Students Regarding Dismissal Please be aware that dismissing a student can impact his or her ability to earn credit in a course. parent(s)/guardians are urged to make necessary appointments for students after school hours in order to minimize the need for dismissal. Students will not be dismissed early on days of school functions except for documented medical reasons. The same documentation is required as for an excused absence.

Students who wish to be dismissed must bring in (submit via email, phone call, text) a parent/guardian-signed note to the house office on the morning of the dismissal before first period indicating: ▪ Student’s name and ID number ▪ Day/date/year of the dismissal

Attendance Page 50 ▪ The reason for the dismissal ▪ parent/guardian name ▪ Signature ▪ Phone number(s) where parent/guardian can be reached to verify dismissal ▪ The name of the person who will picking the student up from school ▪ If the student is participating in in-school learning the parent/guardian will meet the student outside. The parent/guardian will call the House Office upon arrival at the school. Do not enter the building. The office clerk will locate the student and let the student know what designated outside area to meet the parent/guardian. Please note: No student will be dismissed unless the parent/guardian can be contacted. Family members who come in to pick up a student for a previously verified dismissal must present valid identification.

If an emergency arises and a note has not been sent in, the parent/guardian must come to the school and present valid identification in order to dismiss a student. Please contact the House Office (call, text, email) but do not enter the building. If this is not possible, a verified email or a fax signed by the parent/guardian that provides all the necessary information may be faxed to the house office with a follow-up phone call to the parent/guardian/guardian.

No Emergency Dismissals Will Be Approved By Telephone Contact Only. We will verify and allow dismissals via emails and phone calls/verified texts to the House Office.

Absent/Dismissed When a student is absent, he or she will not be allowed to participate in any athletic or extra-curricular activity that day. Attendance will be recorded each day at 7:55 am in advisory and at the start of each class whether in-person or remote. Students who are dismissed before 11:10 a.m. will be recorded as absent-dismissed. Students who are tardy to school after 11:10 will be recorded as absent. Students must be present in school (or actively remote) on Friday to be eligible to participate in any athletic events or extra-curricular activities during the weekend.

Perfect Attendance Recognition at Commencement Exercises For the purposes of recognition during Commencement Exercises, “perfect” attendance is defined as having no absences for the school year (exception: authorized field trips and up to three pre-approved college visits during senior year). In recognition of unavoidable traffic issues, students who arrive no later than 10 minutes after the start of period one, on no more than three occasions, may be considered to have “perfect” attendance for the year. Any non school-related dismissal disqualifies a student for perfect attendance.

Attendance and Tardy Procedures All students must report to their first period class for attendance every day. Students arriving after 7:55 a.m. must report to their house office. Students arriving after the

Attendance Page 51 official start time of 7:55 a.m. will be marked tardy. A pattern of tardiness will result in disciplinary action. A student arriving after 8:15 a.m. without a valid note may be assigned detention.

The house will issue a tardy slip that students must show to their teachers. Every effort will be made to notify parent(s)/guardians of patterns of tardiness to school for those students who fail to provide documentation for tardies. On the fourth tardy and for each subsequent tardy, detention will be given by the House Dean. If a pattern of tardiness continues, additional disciplinary action could result. It is essential that students check in to school. Any student who does not check in to school either in period one or in his or her house office will be deemed a trespasser and subject to arrest.

Please note: Automated phone calls will also be used to notify parent(s)/guardians that their child was tardy to school.

Tardy to Class A student with an unexcused tardy to class of more than ten minutes will be marked absent, and these absences could impact a student’s ability to earn credit for the class if the total unexcused absences exceed 8 for the semester.

Truancy A student who misses his entire class day schedule without sufficient documentation is considered truant. Truant students may be subject to detention, and/or possible referral to the Attendance Office for intervention. Please note that in regards to students 16 or younger, Massachusetts General Law Chapter 76, Section 2, Failure to Compel School Attendance states that “Every person in control of a child shall cause him to attend school as therein required, and, if he fails to do so for seven (7) day sessions or fourteen (14) half day sessions within any period of six months” can face prosecution by the District Attorney’s Office in the case of chronic truancy which could result in a potential fine. In addition, Lowell Public Schools may seek a CRA (Children Requiring Assistance) Truancy Petition through the court system for any child under the age of sixteen who fails to attend school for more than eight (8) days in a quarter without proper excuse.

Cutting Classes Cutting is defined as when a student has appeared for morning attendance in period one or the house office but does not attend advisory and/or one or more classes to which he or she has been assigned, without permission of the teacher. For example, a student attends first period but arbitrarily decides to go to another location within the building without consulting the teacher. Such behavior is subject to detention. Academic/Attendance Recovery (Buy-Back) is not available as a remedy for cut classes so cut classes may result in the loss of course credit.

Students leaving the school grounds at any point during the school day without a legitimate dismissal or other documented reason will be subject to disciplinary action. Teachers and other staff members do not have permission to send students on errands off

Attendance Page 52 school grounds. Exceptions to this restriction can be made only by written consent of the Head of School.

Withdrawals and Transfers (students under 16): parent/guardians/Guardians or an agency with legal custody, (i.e. Department of Children and Families) must ensure students who withdraw/transfer from the Lowell Public Schools are in fact enrolled in another school before a student is released from Lowell Public Schools. This includes:

● Only parent(s)/guardians/ or an agency with legal custody can request that a student be withdrawn/transferred from the Lowell Public Schools. ● Parent/guardians or an agency with legal custody must notify the school’s office concerning the withdrawal/transfer of a child to another school. ● Parent(s)/guardians or an agency with legal custody must provide the Student Support Services office: o A completed/signed withdrawal/transfer form from the child’s current school. (Withdrawal/transfer forms can be picked up from the school the student is currently attending and must be completed and returned to the same school’s office). o A completed/signed records release form. (Record release forms can be picked up from the school the student is currently attending and must be completed and returned to the same school’s office). ● Parent(s)/guardians of students leaving the United States must provide official documentation to Lowell Public School that the student is leaving or has left the country (i.e. plane ticket, stamped Visa, consulate paperwork).

Withdrawal for Unexcused Absences (students 16 or older): Provision for withdrawal will be read consistent with Chapter 222 of the Acts of 2012 and with the LPS Attendance Policy.

Consecutive Unexcused Absences: ● No student who has not graduated from high school shall be considered to have permanently left public school unless the Head of School or designee has sent notice within a period of 5 days from the student’s tenth (10th) consecutive unexcused absence to the student and the parent/guardian or guardian of that student in both the primary language of the parent/guardian or guardian, to the extent practicable, and English. ● The notice shall initially offer at least 2 dates and times for an exit interview between the House Attendance Team and the student and the parent/guardian or guardian of the student to occur prior to the student permanently leaving school and shall include contact information for scheduling the exit interview. The notice shall indicate that the parties shall agree upon a date and time for the exit interview and that interview shall occur within 10 days after the sending of the notice. The time for the exit interview may be extended at the request of the

Attendance Page 53 parent(s)/guardian(s) and no extension shall be for longer than 14 days. The House Attendance Team may proceed with any such interview without a parent(s)/guardian(s) if the House Attendance Team makes a good faith effort to include the parent(s)/guardian(s). The exit interview shall be for the purpose of discussing the reasons for the student permanently leaving school and to consider alternative education or other placements. ● The exit interview will be conducted by the House Attendance Team. During the exit interview, the student shall be given information about the detrimental effects of early withdrawal from school, the benefits of earning a high school diploma and the alternative education programs and services available to the student.

Non-Consecutive Unexcused Absences: ● If a student has over seven (7) non-consecutive unexcused absences in a semester either for the entire day or by individual classes and these are not excused, and the student is not actively involved in attendance recovery, the House Dean will contact the parent(s)/guardian(s) to schedule a hearing with the House Attendance Team to review the reasons for the absences ● If the absences cannot be excused, or the student fails to appear at the House Attendance Team, the student may be dropped from the Lowell High School rolls. The student may re-enroll at the beginning of the next semester provided that the student or parent(s)/guardian(s) has arranged with the House Dean for a re-entry meeting at which the attendance policy will once again be explained. All students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian to the re-entry meeting and for re-enrollment. ● Students and parent(s)/guardians are encouraged to meet with the House Dean to discuss solutions and/or options to attendance issue or concerns ● The provisions of this section shall not apply to a student who has completed the regular course of education, or apply to a student whose absences have been excused, nor shall this section be construed to permanently exclude a student who wishes to resume his education.

Attendance Warnings and Attendance Failures and Credit Recovery ● Any student having four absences in a semester will receive an attendance warning letter. If the absences are unexcused the grades on the 1st or 3rd quarter report card will receive an Attendance Warning (W) notation as part of the grade.

o Ex. Instead of 75, a student may receive a 75W and an Attendance Warning would be issued indicating that the student is in danger of not receiving credit for his or her course.

● Any student with more than eight unexcused absences in a quarter will receive a grade with an “AF” (Attendance Failure). Students that receive an “AF” will be required to participate in an Attendance Hearing with the House Attendance Team to determine eligibility for Grade Recovery.

Attendance Page 54 o If eligible, a student may recover the quarter grade by showing measured improvement in his/her attendance in the second quarter. o Measurable improvement will be determined by the House Attendance Team at the attendance hearing along with a review date to determine successful Credit Recovery. ● Students with more than 8 unexcused absences in a semester will receive a final grade of “AF” with a numeric equivalent of 60 and receive no credit for the course. ● Students can have their original grade replaced through participation in the Credit Recovery program. ● Students with over 15 unexcused absences in a semester are ineligible for Credit Recovery and will receive an “NC” (zero) for the semester.

Academic/Attendance Recovery Program Any student who exceeds more than eight absences in the semester will receive a final grade of “AF” for attendance failure. The student may qualify to participate in the academic/attendance recovery program. Participation in the program is a privilege, not a right, and the following criteria must be met: ● The student, after accruing five consecutive perfect days of attendance, must see the House Dean to determine eligibility for the program. Once the House Dean has determined that the student is eligible for the program, the House Dean will officially enroll the student in the program. No student can be in the program without being officially enrolled by the House Dean. ● The student can have no more than fifteen (15) unexcused absences in a semester course unless there are extenuating circumstances and an exception is approved by the Head of School/House Dean. ● Class cuts are not eligible for Credit Recovery. ● The student must have met all other obligations including serving any outstanding detentions. ● The student must sign a contract with the House Dean and engage in work to recover the lost instructional time. The credit recovery requirements will be determined by the House Dean. ● All students must be actively engaged during their credit recovery and complete the work assigned. Final approval of credit recovery hours is subject to the assessment of the House Dean at an attendance review meeting. ● It is the student’s responsibility to provide the House Dean with documentation verifying proof of his/her completion of the credit recovery coursework.

Attendance Page 55 Student Support Services

Student Support Services at the high school are overseen by the Coordinator of Student Support Services, who works in collaboration with House Deans, the district office, government agencies and local non-profits. The Coordinator oversees guidance programs and the 504 process. The primary purpose of student support services at Lowell High School is to facilitate the educational process by helping students develop a positive self-image, take personal responsibility, and learn to make decisions. Guidance counselors expect to see each student regularly during the school year in order to develop a comfortable working relationship and perspective on the student’s growth and development. Many students see their counselors more often to deal with guidance issues such as program choices and changes, college and career choices and problems solving around academic issues. As relationships build, students sometimes bring more personal matters to counseling.

Guidance counselors also consult parent(s)/guardians, teachers, and administrators on issues related to learning styles, emotional needs, and behavior. Guidance counselors play a central role in the “Teachers Assistance Team”(TAT), which brings House Dean, Counselor, parent/guardians and teachers together by appointment to problem solve and devise solutions that enable a student to achieve success in the classroom. Participating in conferences to plan for students who may be eligible for services under IDEA and 504 as well as referring students for evaluation are also functions of counselors.

Guidance counselors are referral agents who act as liaisons for parent/guardian and student to all student support services. The following is a list of general services provided by counselors for students and their parent/guardians:

● Educational planning and counseling ● Personal counseling ● Scheduling new students ● Information sharing and consultation with parent/guardians and teachers ● Information about and referral to internal and external student support services ● Information about and referral to special services (Chapter 766 & 504) ● Participation in “TAT” ● Assistance with decision making about the implementation of post graduate plans ● Information about and referral to special programs

Supports for students and families are also provided through the Crisis Intervention Team, the school-based social workers, and parent/guardian liaisons.

To ensure that limited English proficient students have an opportunity to receive information in a language the student understands and to ensure that students have access to bilingual guidance counselors, all students requiring guidance services in their native language should ask their House Dean for a referral. Every effort will be made to accommodate the student in a timely manner.

Student Support Services Page 56 Alternative Programs

The Career Academy at the Hugh J. Molloy School accepts students who are not experiencing success in their traditional high school placement relative to academics, behavior and attendance. If a student has an IEP, a team meeting must be held prior to placing the student. In an effort to ensure appropriate placement, the team and the principal are encouraged to review the student’s services, visit the alternative program being considered and/or speak with the alternative program coordinator prior to the team meeting/manifestation meeting to make sure that the student’s services can be delivered in the alternative program. Students with IEPs that call for placement in substantially separate programs or English Language Learners with limited English proficiency are not eligible for placement at the Career Academy. General education students may remain in an alternative placement for 90 school days. Special education and 504 students may remain in an alternative placement for 45 school days. Prior to the end of the 90/45 school day placement, a meeting may be held to extend the student’s stay or this meeting can be waived by the parent/guardians/guardians. This meeting would need to be held every 90 school days for general education students or it could be waived by parent/guardians/guardians for as long as the student remains in the placement. There is no need for this meeting for special education/504 students after the initial 45 school days meeting, because these students’ IEPs/504s will have been amended to reflect the placement as their new placement in their IEP/504 and any meeting will be consistent with federal and state special education laws. Students may remain at the LHSCA for their entire high school years. However, students are encouraged to return to Lowell High School once they have made sufficient progress to be successful.

The LeBlanc Therapeutic Day School is a substantially separate Special Education program that services students in grades 8 through 12. All students that attend the LeBlanc must have an IEP with an emotional disability and a placement at a Public Day School. The sending school’s special education team determines the identified disability and placement need. Students that attend the LeBlanc must have significant emotional disabilities together with behavioral challenges that require a more restrictive school environment and increased special education services that exceed what can be offered in the typical middle/high school settings. Most enrolled students have been diagnosed with one or more major mental health diagnoses.

The Lowell High School Engagement Center services students receiving tutoring for long term suspensions and students ages 16 or older who are not experiencing success in their traditional high school placement. Students agree to participate as part-time students engaging in academic and psychosocial assessments combined with the opportunity to earn high school credits. Student acceptance is determined on a case-by-case basis with referrals accepted from House Deans and Alternative Education Coordinator.

School Health Page 61 Special Education

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) applies to all people ages three to twenty-one who have not graduated from high school. It says that if students have special needs they should be given any help they need to allow them to stay in a regular school program. A special need, to put it as simply as possible, is any kind of challenge a student might have that would make it hard or impossible for him or her to get a free and appropriate public education in a regular school setting, e.g., physical handicap, learning disability, or emotional problems. Once a student with special needs is identified, an evaluation process begins which looks at how the student learns best, and then an individual educational plan is designed to meet the student’s needs.

Procedures Pertaining to Discipline of Students with Special Needs or 504 Plans

The practice in the Lowell Public Schools is that preferably at three (3) infractions and/or no more than seven (7) cumulative days of removal/suspension, the Educational Team Chairperson (ETC) will issue consents for a functional behavioral analysis (FBA) to the parent/guardian/guardian. The purpose of this is to collect data to complete a FBA for the development of an appropriate behavior intervention plan (BIP) to address the students’ behaviors in question.

Special Education Page 62 During the manifestation determination review meeting, members of the IEP Team will review all relevant information in the student’s file, including the IEP, the discipline referral packets if available, teacher observations, and any relevant information provided by the parent/guardian to determine if the misconduct resulted from the disability.

If “Yes” to either question then the behavior is a manifestation, and the following shall occur:

● Return the student to the previous placement and review and/or conduct a FBA, and develop and/or up-date and implement a BIP.

● If a BIP is already in place, the Team will review the plan and modify as needed to address the behavior problem, and return the student to the placement from which the student was removed.

If “No” to both questions then the behavior is not a manifestation, and the following may occur:

● The student is in possession of a dangerous weapon on school grounds or at school-sponsored events;

Special Education Page 63 ● The student is in possession of or using of illegal drugs on school grounds or at school-sponsored events; ● The student engaged in solicitation of a controlled substance on school grounds or at school-sponsored events; or ● The student inflicted serious bodily injury to another at school or at school-sponsored events.

At the conclusion of the forty-five (45) school day period, the student shall be returned to his/her previous placement unless the parent/guardian (or student if 18+) consents to an extension of the interim alternative setting or an Order is obtained from the Bureau of Special Education Appeal authorizing the student’s continued removal. Please note that if a parent/guardian disagrees with either the determination as to “special circumstances” and/or the “interim alternative education setting” the parent/guardian may also exercise their rights to a due process hearing from the BSEA.

However, absent special circumstances, the school may still remove the student to an interim alternative setting for forty-five (45) school days with: 1) parent/guardiana consent or 2) by obtaining authorization from a court or BSEA Hearing Officer. In order to obtain an order from a court or BSEA Hearing Officer, the school must prove that maintaining the student’s placement is substantially likely to result in injury to the student or others.

Special Education Page 64 Student Activities

Student activities are provided as an enrichment factor in the students’ high school experience. They provide opportunities to pursue special interests and talents. Students are encouraged to participate in these activities to the degree that provides a proper balance with the required work in their studies.

Standard of Eligibility

All students participating in any extra-curricular activity must meet and maintain the following standards of eligibility:

● Each student must have attained, in the previous marking period, an accumulated grade of 70 or better in at least 4 courses, each of which requires at least 5 periods of prepared work per week.

● Students will automatically forfeit eligibility if they fail to maintain the academic standards of eligibility in any ensuing report card. In addition, any student who violates school rules that results in a suspension will receive the following penalty:

⮚ First offense: the student will lose eligibility to participate in all school activities for two (2) weeks. ⮚ Second offense: subsequent violation(s), students will lose eligibility to participate in all school activities for twelve (12) consecutive weeks.

● Head of School’s Advisory Panel: Consists of students from every grade level who meet on a monthly basis with the Head of School as well as other key administrative personnel. Students discuss issues as brought up by students with the Head of School in an effort to not only improve the school community, but school climate as well. This forum provides for an open discussion in which students work directly with administration for positive improvements to LHS. Students must apply to be part of the panel; students are also appointed per the Head of Schools recommendation. Applications are available in the Student Activities Office during the first two weeks of school.

● Student Advisory Councils: Two students from each public high school must be elected yearly to represent their student body on the Regional Student Advisory Council (RSAC). Eleven regional councils elected delegates to the Student Advisory Council (SAC), which elects a chairperson who sits as a full voting member of the state Board of Education. As SAC members, students not only advise the Board of Education but also work extensively on local school issues such as improving school governance, curriculum and counseling, teacher evaluation, students’ rights, and a variety of other serious school concerns.

● Student Advisory Committees: The committee consists of students who meet quarterly with the School Committee. Interested students should inquire in the Student Activities Office.

Student Activities Page 66 Educational Athletics

Athletic Mission – Athletic participation is a privilege granted all students who voluntarily accept the rules and regulations of Lowell High School and the affiliated athletic organizations. Lowell High school’s athletic mission is to provide multiple education-based athletic opportunities for students. As a school community we believe that participation in education-based athletics provides students with a sense of connectedness to the school, supporting excellence in academics, activities and citizenship. We also believe that through participation in education-based athletics students are taught the ideals of honesty, faithfulness, courage, and loyalty.

Why participate in educational athletics? Research has shown that students who participate in educational athletics at their school have higher grade point averages, better attendance, less chance of dropping out of school, and learn and refine skills that are valuable in their future in college, work, and life.

How do I join a team? For information ● Check the Lowell High School Athletics’ webpage on the department tab at: lhs.lowell.k12.ma.us/pages/Lowell_High ● Attend the All Athletes Assembly Meetings before each season ● Listen for announcements ● Attend the sport specific team meeting for the team of your choice

To tryout/practice ● Turn in a completed consent form and permission slip before the first day of the season ● Have an approved physical (approved by the athletic trainer). Please see “Physical Examinations” o For parent/guardians/Guardians and students: Pursuant to DPH Regulation 105 CMR 200.100(B)(3), the day after the 13th month anniversary of the approved physical exam my child will not be eligible to practice/compete until a current physical is approved by the athletic trainer and/or team physician. o Students new to Lowell High School and/or the athletic program must turn in a paper copy of their complete physical to be approved by the athletic trainer and/or team physician. o Physicals for returning student-athletes may be offered by the team physician.

Physical Examinations All students must pass a physical examination prior to participation in High School Athletics. A physical exam covers the student for 13 months from the exam date. A student’s eligibility will terminate once a physical has reached the 13 month limit. Written doctor medical clearance notes

Athletics Page 67 do not take the place of an annual physical. MD Clearances will not be accepted. For returning student athletes, physicals are offered four times per year after school at LHS. Students must have a completed and signed “Physical Form” to take a physical. Forms are available in the Athletic Office. Freshman and students new to LHS athletics must have a physical from their physician.

Membership in School A student shall have been a member of the MIAA member secondary school for a minimum of two months (exclusive of the Summer vacation) and have been issued a report card preceding the contest, unless entering from an elementary or junior high school at the start of the school year or transfers in from another school. A pupil's attendance at school does not start when he/she registers in that school, but rather when he/she begins attending classes.

Amateurism A student who represents a school in an interscholastic sport shall be an amateur in that sport. An athlete forfeits amateur status in a sport by: Competing for money or other monetary compensation (MIAA pre approved travel, meals, and lodging expenses may be accepted); Receiving any award or prize of monetary value which has not been approved in advance by the MIAA. Accepting a nominal standard fee or salary for instructing or officiating in an organized sports program or recreation, playground or camp activity shall not jeopardize amateur status. "Organized youth sports program" includes both school and non-school programs. Compensation for giving private lessons is permissible

Athletics Page 68 if approved in advance by MIAA. A high school student who loses amateur status may apply to the MIAA for reinstatement after a waiting period of one calendar year

Academic Requirements ● A student must secure during the last marking period preceding the contest (e.g. second quarter marks and not semester grades determine third quarter eligibility) a passing grade in the equivalent of four traditional yearlong major English courses. ● A student cannot at any time represent a school unless that student is taking courses which would provide Carnegie Units equivalent to four traditional yearlong major English courses. ● To be eligible for the fall marking period, students are required to have passed for the previous academic year the equivalent of four traditional yearlong major English courses (20 credits). ● Academic eligibility of all students shall be considered as official and determined only on the published date when the report cards for that ranking period are to be issued to the parent/guardians of all students within a particular class. ● Incomplete grades may not be counted toward eligibility ● A student who repeats work upon which he or she has once received credit cannot count that subject a second time for eligibility. ● A student cannot count for eligibility for any courses taken during the summer, unless that course was previously pursued and failed.

Age/ Time Allowed for Participation after first entering grade nine A student shall be under 19 years of age, but may compete during the remainder of the school year, provided that his or her 19th birthday occurs on or after September 1 for that year. For freshman competition, a student shall be under 16 years of age but may compete during the remainder of the school year provided that the sixteenth birthday occurs on or after September 1, of that year.

A student shall be eligible for interscholastic competition for no more than four consecutive years after initially entering Grade 9. This limitation shall apply without regard to actual participation or attempt to participate.

Chemical Health From the earliest fall practice date, to the conclusion of the academic year or final athletic event (whichever is latest), a student shall not, regardless of the quantity, use, consume, possess, buy/sell, or give away any beverage containing alcohol; any tobacco product; marijuana; steroids; or any controlled substance. This policy includes products such as “NA or near beer”. It is not a violation for a student to be in possession of a legally defined drug specifically prescribed for the student’s own use by his/her doctor.

Athletics Page 69 Minimum Penalties

● First Violation: When the Head of School confirms, following an opportunity for the student to be heard that a violation has occurred, the student shall lose eligibility for the next consecutive interscholastic contests (regular season and tournament) totaling 25% of all interscholastic contests in that sport. No exception is permitted for a student who becomes a participant in a treatment program. It is recommended that the student be allowed to remain at practice for the purpose of rehabilitation. During the suspension the disqualified student may not be in uniform and his/her attendance at the competition site is determined by the high school principal. All decimal part of an event will be truncated i.e. All fractional parts of an event will be dropped when calculating the 25% of the season.

● Second and subsequent violations: When the Head of School confirms, following an opportunity for the student to be heard, that a violation occurred, the student shall lose eligibility for the next consecutive interscholastic contests (regular season and tournament) totaling 60% of all interscholastic contests in that sport. All decimal part of an event will be truncated i.e. All fractional parts of an event will be dropped when calculating the 60% of the season.

● If after the second or subsequent violations the student of his/her own volition becomes a participant in an approved chemical dependency program or treatment program, the student may be certified for reinstatement in MIAA activities after a minimum of 40% of events provided the student was fully engaged in the program throughout that penalty period. The high school principal in collaboration with a Chemical Dependency Program or Treatment Program must certify that the student is attending or issue a certificate of completion. If a student does not complete the program, the penalty reverts back to 60% of the season. All decimal part of an event will be truncated i.e. All fractional parts of an event will be dropped when calculating the 40% of the season.

● Penalties shall be cumulative each academic year, but serving the penalty could carry over for one year. Or, if the penalty period is not completed during the season of violation, the penalty shall carry over to the student’s next season of actual participation, which may affect the eligibility status of the student during the next academic year. (e.g. A student plays only football: he violates the rule in winter and/or the spring of same academic year: he would serve the penalty [ies] during the fall season of the next academic year)

Good Citizen Rule - Student-athletes may not represent their school if they are on in-school or out-of-school disciplinary suspension. A suspended student is ineligible for practice or competition for at least the number of days (or partial days) equal to the number of days of the suspension.

Athletics Page 70 Policy and Guidelines Regarding Search and Seizure

All parent/guardians and students must understand that:

● The Head of School, House Deans or designee may conduct a search of a student on school premises if he or she has reason or cause to believe that the student has in his or her possession any item, the possession of which constitutes a criminal offense under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts or violation of school policy. This search will be made in the presence of a third party. The person conducting the search will be of the same sex as the alleged suspect and there will be at least one person present during the search who is of the same sex as the alleged suspect, except if there is a health and/or safety emergency involving a possible imminent threat and/or harm. This search is not limited to just a search of the student but may also include items on and/or in possession of the student. ● The Head of School, House Dean or designee may conduct a search of the physical plant of the school and every appurtenance thereof, including student lockers. ● The Lowell School Department reserves the right to bring in trained dogs to sniff out drugs and gunpowder and other explosives.

A student search and resulting seizure by school personnel will be carried out if: ● There are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the student has violated or is violating either the law or the rules of the school, and ● The search itself is conducted in a manner reasonably related to its objectives and not excessively intrusive in light of the age and sex of the student and nature of the infraction.

Reasonable grounds for a student search may include: ● A school personnel’s personal observation ● Receipt by a school official of a report by a teacher, school employee, a student or some other reliable source; or ● Receipt of report from an anonymous source if circumstances persuade the school official of its reliability or if there is independent information corroborating it.

When possible, the search should be conducted under the direction of a school administrator or security personnel with at least one other school personnel witness; and whenever possible, reasonable efforts must be made to inform the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) of the intent to search prior to taking such action. The search should be conducted as discreetly as possible making sure to avoid high intrusive searches, random searches or searches involving wholesale rummaging of a student’s

Search & Seizure/Due Process/Physical Restraint/Disturbance Page 71 personal property. If, in the judgment of the school administration, a situation arising of a student search and seizure so warrants, it will be brought to the attention of the appropriate law enforcement authorities. In such cases, the student and the student’s parent(s)/guardian(s) will be so informed. All material seized will be sealed, dated and signed, and stored in a secure place by school authorities. Any material turned over to the police will be done so in compliance with legal safeguards to the student

Due Process and the Right to Appeal

Every student enrolled in the Lowell Public Schools is fully and equitably entitled to all the rights, privileges, safety and security afforded to all other students. All students must be afforded due process whenever deprived of their right of education through exclusion from their regular classroom instruction or from other school activities, including: suspension, expulsion, transfer, probation or withdrawal of privileges, exclusion from graduation ceremonies. Any student has the right to appeal any discipline decision made affecting them. This process should be initiated through a House Dean, Director of Curriculum. The decision of the Head of School is final with the exception of MGL Chapter 71, 37H, 37H ½, 37H ¾ (consistent with its provisions) and School Committee Expulsions under MGL Chapter 76, 16 and 17.

Physical Restraint

The Board of Education regulation (603 CMR 46.00) regarding physical restraint in public education programs is meant to promote safety for all students and staff in school. Physical restraint shall be used only in emergency situations of last resort, after other lawful and less intrusive alternatives have failed or been deemed inappropriate, and with extreme caution. This regulation also governs time-out and seclusion.

Disturbance of School Assemblies

Consistent with Massachusetts law, whoever willfully interrupts or disturbs a school or other assembly of people met for lawful purpose shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than one month or by a fine of not more the fifty dollars ($50) provided however that whoever, within one year after being twice convicted of a violation of this section, again violates the provisions of this section shall be punished by imprisonment for one month and the sentence imposing such imprisonment shall not be suspended.

The Commonwealth need not show that the defendant possessed a specific intent to disturb the school proceedings. The willfulness requirements of M.G.L. Chapter 272, Section 40 demands, however, only that the acts of the defendants be willfully performed. As long as the acts were intentional and not due to accident or inadvertence the requirement is satisfied. (Commonwealth v. Bohmer, 374 Mass. 368,.377.372; N.E. 2nd 1381 (1978).

The Lowell Public Schools strives to create an environment where all students and staff feel welcome. To meet this end, the Lowell Public Schools will not tolerate the denial of access to activities, programs or services to individuals with disabilities (as defined in Section 504 or the Rehabilitation Act, 29 U.S.C, section 705 (20).

The School Committee’s policy of non-discrimination shall extend to students, staff, the general public, and individuals with whom it does business. The School Committee’s policy of non-discrimination shall prohibit discrimination including harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, socioeconomic status, homelessness, gender identify or expression, pregnancy or pregnancy related condition, parent/guardianing status, sexual orientation, disability or by association with a person who has or is perceived to have one or other of these characteristics

Equal Educational Opportunities

It is the policy of the Lowell Public Schools not to exclude or discriminate against a student in the admission to school in Lowell, or in obtaining the advantages, privileges and course study within Lowell Public Schools on the basis of race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, socioeconomic status, homelessness, gender identify or expression, pregnancy or pregnancy related condition, parent/guardianing status, sexual orientation, disability or by association with a person who has or is perceived to have one or other of these characteristics in our educational programs, activities, as envisioned by Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments and Chapter 622 of the Acts of 1971, in addition to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 76 section 5, and 603 CMR 26.00, and 603 CMR 28.00.

Findings of discrimination may result in appropriate consequences consistent with Lowell Public School Policies and Guidelines.

Student Complaints and Grievances

The School Committee recognizes that there may be conditions in the school system that are in need of improvement and that all students should have some means by which their concerns may be effectively expressed, considered, and dealt with fairly. Such means, if well-conceived and understood in advance, can do much to maintain harmonious relationships among the schools and the students and community.

The traditional “open door” policy in the school system will be continued. Students and their parent/guardians and/or guardians who believe that the students have received unfair treatment, may bring forward their grievance through appropriate channels.

In the case of students and their parent/guardians and/or guardians who believe the student has received unfair treatment, the appeal process will be guided by Lowell Public Schools policy and procedures and any and/or all applicable laws. For any student in the Lowell Public Schools who feels that he or she has been subjected to discrimination under Title IX or Chapter 622 shall file it in writing to the following:

Level 1 Principal/Designee Level 2 Designated Coordinator/Officer Level 3 Superintendent of Schools Level 4 School Committee/Other

Level 1: A student who feels there is a complaint under Title IX or Chapter 622 shall submit it in writing to the Principal/Designee (House Dean). The Principal/ Designee (House Dean) will meet with the student or school staff within five school days of receiving the complaint in an effort to resolve the complaint.

Level 2: If at the end of five (5) school days following the meeting, the grievance shall not have been disposed of satisfactorily, the written grievance may be presented to the appropriate Coordinator/Officer, who shall, within ten (10) school days thereafter, meet in an effort to settle the grievance.

Acceptable Use Policy Page 84 Parent/Guardian Notification Relative to Sex Education

In accordance with General Laws Chapter 71, Section 32A, the Lowell School Committee has adopted this policy on the rights of parent(s)/guardian(s) of our students in relation to curriculum that primarily involves human sexual education or human sexuality issues.

At the beginning of each school year, all parent(s)/guardian(s)/ of students in our schools will be notified in writing of the courses and curriculum we offer that primarily involves human sexual education or human sexuality issues. Each school principal will be responsible for sending this notice. parent(s)/guardian(s) of students who enroll in school after the start of the school year will be given the written notice at the time of enrollment. If the planned curriculum changes during the school year, to the extent practicable, parent(s)/guardian(s) will be notified of this fact in a timely manner before implementation.

Each such notice to parent(s)/guardian(s)/ will include a brief description of the curriculum covered by this policy, and will inform the parent(s)/guardian(s) that they may:

● Exempt their child from any portion of the curriculum that primarily involves human sexual education or human sexuality issues, without penalty to the student, by sending a letter to the school principal requesting an exemption. Any student who is exempted by request of the parent(s)/guardian(s) under this policy may be given an alternative assignment.

● Inspect and review program instruction materials for these curricula, which will be made reasonably accessible to parent(s)/guardian(s) and others to the extent practicable. parent(s)/guardian(s) may arrange with the principal to review the materials at the school.

A parent/guardian who is dissatisfied with a decision of the principal concerning notice, access to instructional materials, or exemption for the student under this policy may send a written request to the Superintendent for review of the issue. The Superintendent or designee will review the issue and give the parent/guardian a timely written decision, preferably within four weeks of the request. A parent/guardian who is still dissatisfied after this process may send a written request to the Commissioner of Education for review of the issue in dispute.

Parent/Guardian Notification--Sex Education Page 85 Student Records Regulations

Student Records Lowell Public Schools is obligated to abide by the rules/laws/regulations dictated within The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and Massachusetts Regulation 603 CMR 23.00 details a Student and parent/guardian(s) rights with respect to Student Records.

A student record is any information that is kept about a student in school (grades, test scores, comments). It is made of your permanent record or “transcript” (name, address, courses taken, credits and grades) and the “temporary records” (progress reports, test scores, class rank, extracurricular activities, and other relevant educational information).

For students in the ninth grade or higher or 14 years old or older, the rights below belong to the student and his or her parent/guardian. If you are 18 years or older, the rights belong to the student alone, if the student requests in writing that only the student, and not the parent/guardians, should have these rights. Under 14 or not yet in the 9th grade, then the rights below belong only to the parent/guardians.

Seeing your Records The student and the parent/guardians have the right to see and have copies made of everything in the student’s record within ten (10) school days of a request. The school may not charge more than the cost for the copies. Person making a request must show a photo I.D.

Notice to all parent/guardians and Students Pursuant to 603CMR23.06 the student’s temporary record, all information not contained in the transcript, shall be destroyed no later than seven (7) years from the date of the student’s withdrawal, transfer or graduation. It is the student’s right to obtain these records before they are destroyed. Graduating seniors will have the opportunity to collect their records before leaving high school. If the student wishes to have these records please contact the Guidance Department at Lowell High School. If the records are not requested within seven (7) years of the withdrawal, transfer, or graduation date, records including, but not limited to, standardized tests results, class rank, extracurricular activities and teacher evaluations shall be destroyed. The permanent record will be kept for sixty (60) years. After sixty (60) years, if the permanent record is not requested, it will be destroyed

Access to School Records for Non-custodial parent/guardians Massachusetts School Records Regulation law Chapter 71 Section 34H requires the noncustodial parent/guardian to provide verification in the form of a probate court order or judgment relative to custody of the child, specifying, in detail, that (s)he has not been denied, in a court order, custody based on a threat to the safety of the child or the custodial parent/guardian. The non-custodial parent/guardian must submit a written request to the school principal annually.

Student Records Page 86 The following persons serving in a parent/guardian role shall have access to a student’s records: ● The student’s father ● The student’s mother ● The student’s guardian ● A person or agency legally authorized to act on behalf of or in conjunction with the student’s father, mother or guardian, a divorced or separated parent/guardian (subject to any written agreement between parent/guardians or court order governing the rights of such a parent/guardian that is brought to the attention of the school Head of School).

Non-custodial parent/guardians shall not have access to a student’s school records when: ● The parent/guardian has been denied legal custody on a threat to the safety of the child or to the custodial parent/guardian, or ● The parent/guardian has been denied visitation or has been ordered to supervised visitations, or ● The parent/guardian’s access to the student or to the custodial parent/guardian has been restricted by a temporary or permanent protective order, unless the protective order (or any subsequent order modifying the protective order) specifically allows access to the students information described in the statute. ● The parent/guardian has not submitted a written request to the school principal.

Privacy of your Records School personnel who work directly with students may see the student’s records when it is necessary to perform their duties. With very few exceptions, no one else may see student records without written permission of the student or parent/guardians.

Access to Student Records

● Other schools: parent(s)/guardians and students please note that pursuant to 603 CMR 23.07 (4)(g) that during the school year that a student is enrolled, the principal or his or her designee may provide to the authorized school personnel of the school to which a student seeks or intends to transfer access to such student’s record without the consent of the eligible student or a parent/guardian. The student record may also be forwarded by the principal or his or her designee to the school to which student seeks or intends to transfer to.

● The Armed Forces of the United States of America/Institution of Higher Education: Pursuant to the “No Child Left Behind Act of 2001” and Public Law 107-110 (H.R.1) Section 9528, the Head of School or his designee is required to provide access to student information to military recruiters or an institution of higher education, upon their request. This access applies only to secondary school students and includes student names, addresses and telephone listings. If you do not want the Head of School or his or her designee to release this

Student Records Page 87 information, then student/parent/guardian must notify the Head of School or his designees in writing of that request, within the next ten (10) days. See page 7.

Destroying your Records

Pursuant to 603 CMR 23.06 (2) during the school year that a student is enrolled in a school, the Head of School or his or her designee shall periodically review and destroy misleading, outdated, or irrelevant information (including photocopies made of original documents) contained in the temporary record provided that the eligible student and their parent(s)/guardian(s) are notified in writing and are given the opportunity to receive the information or a copy of it prior to its destruction. A copy of such notice will be placed in the temporary record. If you do not want the Head of School or his designee to destroy such records or you wish to take custody of the records that are marked for destruction, then you, the student and/or their parent(s)/guardian(s) must notify the Head of School or his designee in writing of that request shortly after receipt of the notice of destruction.

Amending and Appealing your Record

The student or parent/guardians may add any relevant written material to the record. If there is information in the record that the student or parent/guardians feel is inaccurate, misleading, or irrelevant and the student or parent/guardians want it removed, the student or parent/guardians may ask your Head of School to remove it (See Department of Education, Student Record Regulations 603 CMR 23:08).

If the request is denied, or if the student or parent(s)/guardians have any other objections to the school records policy, there is an appeals process the student or parent(s)/guardians can use. This process is described in Department of Education records regulations, under 603 CMR 23:09.

This is just a summary of your rights under the regulations. You can get a copy of the regulations from the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education or its Website (Chapter 71; Sections 34D and 34EF of the General Laws, 1973).

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act, 2000 (FERPA)

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (2000), otherwise known as FERPA or Buckley Amendment, ensures that parent/guardians and students have access to and an opportunity to challenge the content of a student’s record, and that the schools will not release information that directly identifies a student to a third party. The general rule under Massachusetts Regulation 603 CMR 23.00 is that no third party shall have access to information in or from a student record without the specific, informed written consent of the eligible student or parent/guardian. However, we do need to note that there are exceptions to third party access contained in 603 CMR 23.07(4)(a) through 23.07(4)(h).

Student Records Page 88 603 CMR 23.07(4)(a) A school may release the following directory information: a student’s name, address, telephone listing, date, and place of birth, major field of study, dates of attendance, weight and height of members of athletic teams, class participation in officially recognized activities and sports, degrees, honors and awards, and post-high school plans without the consent of the eligible student or parent/guardian; provided that the school gives public notice of the types of information it may release under 603 CMR 23.07 and allows eligible students and parent/guardians a reasonable time after such notice to request that this information not be released without the prior consent of the eligible student or parent/guardian. parent/guardians and students have the following rights afforded to them under FERPA:

● Right to inspect and review education records and a description of how a parent/guardian or student may assert that right ● Right to inspect an amendment to the record and a method for requesting the amendment ● Right to consent to disclosures of the student’s records and an explanation of the conditions under which the school may disclose without prior consent ● Right to file a complaint with the Family Compliance Office of the Department of Education

Annual Notice

Section 23.10: Notification requires that at least once during every school year, the school shall publish and distribute to students/parent/guardians annual notice of their general rights relative to student records, as contained herein. Upon request, Lowell Public School will make available to parents/guardians and Students a complete copy of the regulations which will detail their rights.

Overview 1

The high school building project has highlighted the need to review the high school library collection. It is evident that the collection has had limited weeding over the years. The general rule of thumb is that a librarian should weed approximately five percent of the collection each year. If the librarian doesn’t do this, two things happen: First, the collection gets bloated. A library is not serving its patrons with a large number of books when those items are dated, irrelevant, or damaged. A smaller, stronger collection is better than a larger, weaker one. Second the weeding job itself gets more and more daunting. If the librarian doesn’t weed 5 percent in a particular year, they must weed 10 percent the following year. If they don’t do that, then they need to weed about 15 percent the year after that. And so on. Consequently, a collection that has had a limited amount of weeding over the years will require substantial weeding when there is finally time. In the case of the Peter S. Stamas Library, it has been some time since there has been a cleaning of the collection, and consequently, it was necessary to pull approximately 25 percent of the library’s items. 2

Criteria for Weeding

Generally speaking, if a book meets certain criteria, it is a sign that it may be time to discard the item. Two of the major factors are: ● The years since the book’s copyright date (the book’s age) ● The maximum permissible time without usage (number of years since someone last checked out the book) There are also six other criteria, which spell the acronym MUSTIE: ● Misleading and/or factually inaccurate ● Ugly; worn beyond mending or rebinding ● Superseded by a truly new edition or a much better book on the subject ● Trivial; of no discernable literary or scientific merit (usually of ephemeral interest at some time in the past) ● Irrelevant to the needs of the community ● Elsewhere: the material or information may be obtained expeditiously from another location through interlibrary loan, reciprocal borrowing, or in electronic format; the Pollard Library is a notable resource in this instance 3

Examples of Weeding Grouped by Subject

Next to each subject are two numbers. ● The first is the maximum age that the book should be kept. ● The second is the number of years without a circulation before withdrawing the book. For example, “Law 5/2” means that it is prudent to retire the book if it is either older than five years, or if more than two years have gone by without a checkout. The following subjects accounted for the bulk of the weeding:

Music (10/3)

Much like history, books that document the history of music in a current, “this is the way things are now” approach risk becoming dated, and there were many examples in the collection. A book that chronicles the San Francisco music scene of the 60s and 70s is fine when it’s a retrospective; when it’s a “this is the way music is today” title, it must go.

Sports (10/3) Though guides have a longer shelf life, even there, titles date. Books that feature major players often have a “this is the way the sport is right now” quality to them, and consequently, these books age poorly. Consequently, though a general book about The Olympics is welcome in the collection, a 1996 book about The Olympics that prominently discusses “the 100th anniversary of the 1896 games” shows its age. There are many, many titles of this sort in the collection.

American History (10/3) This is a large section of most school libraries, as social studies and library research go together. In this area, there are a number of places in which newer titles serve the students far better than the older ones, so I removed those older titles. Then there were some in which their age posed problems. 1999’s “A Century of Great African Americans,” for example, fosters a questionable amount of confidence when it prominently features Bill Cosby on the cover, and biographies 20 years out of date.

Biography (10/3) This section contains a number of volumes that clearly have not gone out in a long time. The two-volume “Memoirs of Herbert Hoover” is an example of this.

Political Science (5/3) Many political books have a “this is happening right now” quality. Consequently, though titles that deal with, for example, the collapse of the Soviet Union can certainly stay on the shelf, books such as “The March of Communism 1939-Present”--which provides a “current” state of the Soviet Union when “the present” was the book’s publication date of 1985--is no longer relevant. There are many such books on the shelves, and it is necessary to remove them. 4

Controversial Social Issues (5/3) In order for this section to be effective, it is necessary to have current materials. Because current controversies are a popular topic--and because I have a smaller budget than a public library--I bump this up to ten years. When books are closer to 20 years old, however--as are most of the books I removed from this section-- the book’s usefulness becomes minimal at best. When books about gay rights, for example, discuss how marriage is a distant fantasy, it is time to discard these items, and the same goes for such quick changing issues as gun control, abortion, and illegal immigration.

Diseases and medical conditions (5/3) Again, currency is so important with these books, particularly in the areas of cancer and AIDS. It can, in fact, be dangerous to keep books of this sort on the shelves for longer than five years, because the information can date so quickly. The primary reason for having these books in the library, many years ago, was that when students needed to do even a simple report on this subject, these books were the only source of quality information. Now, there is plenty of quality information about these topics from such websites as The American Medical Association and The Mayo Clinic. The bulk of the materials in this section are between 15 and 20 years old. It is necessary to discard many of them.

Fun “Celebrity” Books that are no longer current (5/3) Examples of this are all over the collection. In the art section, Lee Ames’s popular “Draw 50” series has a number of volumes in which the subjects are timeless (“Draw 50 Animals”), but his collection of “50 Famous People” includes such bygone celebrities as Marie Osmond, Olivia Newton John, and Herve Villechaize, star of the 1970s television show “Fantasy Island.” Furthermore, it is necessary to remove a number of books featuring people who were celebrities once, but no longer. “The Gotti Diet, written by mobster John Gotti’s son--star of the 2004 reality show “Growing Up Gotti”--is an example of this.

Astronomy (5/3) Pluto is not a planet anymore, and it is therefore necessary to retire books that say it is. Furthermore, older, black-and-white books about the cosmos pale next to newer color editions. Finally, 1964’s “The Moon: a Close-Up of the Moon; What is Known, and What Lunar Explorers May Find,” needs to go.

Test Preparation (SAT, AP) and college guides (5/3) This section has a number of items that were over ten years old. Test preparation and college guides must be current.

Hobbies and Crafts; Includes Cooking (5/3) 5

It is necessary to weed some antiquated cookbooks that have clearly not circulated in over a decade. Furthermore, it is necessary to weed books about crafts that have become out of date (macrame, for example).

Photography (5/3) Though books that feature photography as an art form can stay on the shelves forever (so long as they’re circulating), books about the technique of photography date quickly as digital photography evolves. Though there is perhaps a case to be made for holding onto a single volume that discusses film photography, it is necessary to weed some titles in this area.

Computers (3/3) It is necessary to eliminate the bulk of these materials due to age. For example, a book about desktop publishing will seem ancient to a student if it’s from the early 2000s, and all of the examples will be out of date, as well. Furthermore, a book about how a computer works inspires little confidence in a student looking for currency when it has sections such as “How a 56K Modem Works (today’s modems move information approximately 100,000 times faster than this).” In other cases, the title itself justifies removal from the collection: “DOS For Dummies (PCS have not used DOS in approximately 25 years);” “Windows 95 for Dummies;” “Complete Guide to Office 97.

Recommendation

Many items in the Peter S. Stamas Library are out of date, and removing them raises the average age of the collection, while also showcasing newer and more relevant items. With the building project it is essential that we address this issue in a timely manner. For the reasons presented in this summary I recommend that the attached list of 3,371 books be approved for removal from the Lowell High School collection.
