STATEMENT OF POLICY
In carrying out its mandate to prepare young people for responsible citizenship, the Niagara Catholic District School Board is committed to providing a learning environment where mutual respect and commitment to purpose exists. Students who act inappropriately or impede the rights of others shall accept the consequences of their behaviour.
It is the policy of the Board to support the suspension of students, as per approved guidelines, where such action is warranted and/or where other consequences have been unsuccessful in bringing about the desired changes in student behaviour.
The Director of Education will establish guidelines and procedures for the implementation of this policy.
