Suspensions

The principal or designee may suspend a pupil from school, pursuant to Board Policy or Education Code Section 48900, upon the principal’s determination that the pupil while on the school grounds or during an activity off the school grounds related to school attendance, or if other means of disciplinary action have proven to be ineffective. Education Code 48925 defines suspension as the removal of a pupil from ongoing instruction for adjustment purposes. A pupil may not be suspended from school or recommended for expulsion unless the superintendent or the principal of the school in which the pupil is enrolled determines that the pupil has violated Education Code 48900
