The school shall protect the rights of students to attend school and participate in all activities of the school. It is the responsibility of the School Board of the City of Richmond and the administration to issue regulations establishing rules of conduct from student behavior in order to protect the health, safety and welfare of its students. It is imperative that each student exercise responsible conduct in accordance with the rules and regulations that have been established by Richmond Public Schools. General Conduct Students are expected to maintain positive conduct that is consistent with the following Guiding Principles, including, but not limited to: 1. Respect; 2. Responsibility; 3. Appreciation of differences; 4. Honesty; 5. Safety; and 6. Lifelong learning. To that end, each school is expected to develop and implement a school-wide Positive Behavior Support and Discipline Plan. The plan will be aligned with the Richmond Public Schools Standards of Student Conduct. Within the plan, conduct issues are to be addressed by implementing proactive strategies to provide positive behavior support. These include defining and teaching behavioral expectations, acknowledging and reinforcing appropriate behavior, developing a continuum of responses for problem behavior and reviewing and analyzing discipline data to evaluate the effectiveness of the plan. When a student ceases to maintain acceptable conduct, the school shall make every effort to support the student in developing improved behavior through conferences and close contact with the student’s parent or guardian, and through the use of all available school and community resources.
