RICHLAND ONE DISCIPLINE CODE

The Richland County School District One Discipline Code is used to communicate to students, parents, guardians and staff what our expectations are for student behavior. Each item in this code has been carefully chosen to restrict the types of behavior that we believe will interfere with students progressing toward their personal or academic goals. Click on a subject to the left for more information about that item.

Discipline Creed

The Board of Commissioners for Richland County School District One believes that it is the responsibility of students, parents, and staff to see that students attend school and conduct themselves in an appropriate manner while there. Discipline is a shared responsibility, and student behavior is important to the entire education process. Without it, teachers cannot teach, and students cannot learn. All students are expected to follow the rules established by the district and each school.

Everyone is entitled to a safe, secure, orderly environment in which to learn and work. The rules and regulations presented in this handbook are designed toward that end and are effective during the following times and places:

  • On school property
  • Waiting for the school bus at designated stops
  • Going to and from school
  • On a school bus or other school vehicle
  • Participating in or attending school-sponsored or school-related activities, such as field trips, conferences or athletic events

When used in this handbook, the word "parents" will include either parent or the student's legal guardian, and the word "principal" will include any administrator or principal's designee. The word "he" will be used to refer to both the male and female gender.

Students, parents and staff are encouraged to become familiar with the rules and regulations in this handbook. If you have any questions, please contact your school's principal or the Richland One Hearing Office.
