Continuing Educational Services

• Students are eligible to continue with their regular coursework, although if the suspension is an out-of-school suspension the student will have to complete coursework off campus. 
• Students must be allowed to turn work in and not have their grades penalized solely for missing class because of a suspension. 

• Students must have:
  • Access to course work and homework;
  • Access to school personnel (in person or otherwise) who can offer support to keep the student on track; and
  • An opportunity to make up any assignments or tests.

  • School personnel must make a reasonable attempt to contact the student or parent/guardian within three (3) school business days, and periodically thereafter to coordinate coursework and grading between the student and teacher(s); and communicate between the student, parent/guardian and teacher(s) about the student’s academic progress.

• Students will be allowed to continue to receive educational services in an alternative setting. 
• Other educational opportunities may include tutoring or online services.
• Services offered must enable the student to continue to participate in the general education curriculum; meet the educational standards established within the district; and complete subject, grade-level, and graduation requirements.
• Consider the input of the student, parent/guardian, and teachers; the types of additional services the student may be receiving; and any need to access technology, transportation, or other resources in order to be successful.

Students who qualify for an Individual Education Plan or a Section 504 plan will be afforded the opportunity to continue to receive educational services under any type of suspension.
