Parkway Schools

Discipline

Although the right to attend school is a civil right, fully recognized in the courts, it is not an absolute right. School officials have a limited authority to remove a student with a disability from his/her present school setting because of a violation of school rules, conduct which materially and substantially disrupts the rights of others to an education, or conduct which endangers the student, other students or staff, or the property of the school. Students with disabilities attending Parkway schools may be moved to an appropriate interim alternative educational setting, another setting, or suspension to the extent such alternatives are applied to children without disabilities. Such removals may be subject to certain procedures and limitations required by federal and state statutes and regulations, as well as Parkway policy.
