School Discipline
“Student Achievement and Development” is accomplished in a learning climate where the rights and responsibilities of each individual are known and respected. An atmosphere of good order and discipline is necessary for effective teaching and learning.
Student Drug Testing
Student Services conducts a Random Drug Testing program involving high school students participating in FHSAA - sponsored athletics, and cheerleaders. Selection of students for testing is entirely random, and the students’ privacy and confidentiality are closely protected.
Zoning & School Choice
School Choice/Out-of-Zone allows families to select a school other than the assigned school using parents’ indicated preference/need as a significant factor.
School Choice allows parents/guardians to request that their child attend a school other than the school for which they are zoned. The School Choice option does not require a reason. Approval is based on space available.
Out-of-Zone also allows parents/guardians to request a school other than the school for which their child is zoned. However, a specific need must be cited. Under board policy such reasons include: after school care, work schedules, high school attendance at a specific academy, hardship. Supporting documentation is required. Approvals are based on space available.
