Student Rights and Responsibilities - 3200
Each year the superintendent shall develop and make available to all students, their parents and staff written statements pertaining to student rights, conduct, corrective actions, and punishment. Such statements shall be developed with the participation of parents and the community. The school principal and staff shall confer at least annually to develop and/or review student conduct standards and the uniform enforcement of those standards.
Parents shall also be advised of their right to review classroom materials. No student in a research or experimentation project supported by federal funds shall be required to submit to psychiatric or psychological examination testing or treatment which might reveal specified personal information without prior written parental consent. The parent shall have the right to file a complaint with the school superintendent for any abridgment of this provision.
All students who attend the district's schools shall comply with the written policies, rules and regulations of the schools, shall pursue the required course of studies, and shall submit to the authority of staff of the schools, subject to such corrective action or punishment as the school officials shall determine.
