Code of Student Behavior

Code of Student Behavior

It is our goal to provide all Akron Public Schools students an education in a safe, well-organized environment. We also expect our students to share the responsibility for maintaining a positive learning climate in our schools. A student's primary responsibility is to respect the rights of others.

We believe it is important to have clearly stated rules and regulations so that our students know what is expected of them. That is why we developed the Code of Student Behavior.

The Code outlines:

• student rights and responsibilities;
• violations and penalties for violations;
• procedures for suspension and expulsion;
• attendance procedures;
• policy on corporal punishment;
• liability of parents for student misconduct;
• driving privileges and student behavior; and
• limitations on the disciplining of handicapped students.

We offer workshops in the Code of Student Behavior for all school staff. A copy of the code is sent to all parents in August. We encourage parents to review it with their children. To receive a copy of the Code of Student Behavior, contact Student Services at 330.761.2734.
