DETENTION OF STUDENTS

A school administrator or teacher may detain a student for disciplinary reasons during school hours. Further, a school administrator or teacher may detain a student for disciplinary reasons after school hours, provided the parent has been notified of the detention and, in the case of bus students, arrangements have been made for the students transportation home. In cases where transportation is required, 24 hour notice will be given so that transportation may be arranged.

Transportation of the detained student must be arranged by parents.

Students who are detained after school should not be left alone during their detention. Their supervision must be provided, or arranged for, by the teacher or administrator who detains them.

Detention on one day is to be limited to 60 minutes.
