Following recommendation by the
discipline study committee Tuesday

met Friday noon and gave final
approval to discipline policy for
Junior High School, specifically
supervised isolation.

punishment is to be issued: (a)
corporal punishment (paddling); (b)
isolation; (c) expulsion.
The parent or parents will be
notified by telephone, if possible,
before punishment is carried out;
otherwise, they will be notified by
registered letter.
If isolation is called for the
Principal is to determine the seri-
ousness of the offense and number
of days to be spent in isolation.
Three examples are given: 1st
offense, one day (less serious); 2nd
offense, two days (more serious);
3rd offense, three days (most
serious).
Work stations are recommended
for isolated students, adjoining the
Principal's office. The Board is to
look into acquiring a one-way mirror
so that students may be viewed.
Also, the Board is to look into an
intercom system between the isola-
tion area and Principal's office.

prescribed information, to be signed
by both teacher and student.

the Principal's office as soon as they
arrive at school.
