Student Handbook
Maintaining a Respectful Learning Environment
Insubordination
Insubordination is a failure to comply with any reasonable request or directive given to a student by a CDC faculty or staff member. Reasonable requests and directives include communication of safety information, enforcement of CDC rules, regulations or policies, and directives aimed at maintaining a positive learning environment and school climate.
Should a student feel that a request or directive is unreasonable, the student shall still comply with the directive or request until the disagreement is resolved, unless complying with the request or directive presents a dangerous situation for the student or others in the surrounding area?
Inappropriate Language
Students using loud, profane, or abusive language will, upon referral by any faculty or staff, be subject to the following sanctions:
• First Offense -- Warning
• Second Offense – Discipline referral will be written and parents telephoned by the writer of the referral
• Third Offense -- Appearance before the Educational Support Team and any consequences they deem
appropriate and reasonable.
Public Displays of Affection
Public displays of affections are inappropriate within a school environment or during school activities. After the first warning, students may be sent to an administrator for appropriate action to be taken. Public affection may be viewed as creating a hostile environment as defined within sexual Harassment. (See Harassment Prevention.)
Gambling
Gambling and card playing are not permitted on campus or at any school related activity.
Inappropriate Clothing
Should a student’s clothing be deemed inappropriate, students may be sent to the Planning Room or home until the inappropriate clothing is replaced with appropriate clothing. (See Dress Code.)
