Any punishment, suspension or expulsion, may be deferred by the superintendent, principal, or designee.  The student involved may be placed on probation for a set period of time.  The punishment, suspension, or expulsion, shall remain deferred so long as the student meets the conditions of the probation.  If a student is placed on probation, written notification shall be sent to the student’s parent or guardian.  Any decisions on probation for students found to be in violation shall be handled by the superintendent.

A student placed on probation shall be given a written list of the terms and conditions of the probation.  The student shall sign a statement that:  the terms and conditions have been explained, the student understands the conditions, the student agrees to abide by the conditions, and failure to abide by the conditions may be reason to reinstate the original punishment.
