PSA Student Conduct 

STUDENT CONDUCT

PLACER SCHOOL FOR ADULTS


The Governing Board of the Placer Union High School District believes that all students have the right to be educated in a safe and positive learning environment free from disruptions. Students shall be expected to exhibit appropriate conduct that does not infringe upon the rights of others or interfere with the school instructional program.


Placer School for Adults students exhibit appropriate adult behavior by being diligent in study, careful with school property, courteous, and respectful toward their teachers, other staff, students, and volunteers. They understand that adult school is not compulsory and they are making a choice to meet their individual educational goals by voluntarily accessing and completing coursework within pathways in an appropriate and safe manner. 


As per PUHSD Board Policy 5131, prohibited student conduct includes, but is not limited to:



Employees are expected to enforce standards of conduct and, when they observe or receive a report of a violation of these standards, to appropriately intervene or seek assistance.  As necessary, the employee shall refer the matter to the principal or designee.


There is no formal suspension or expulsion policy in adult education.  Students who violate district or school rules and regulations may be subject to removal from participation in PSA  programs at the discretion of school administration. 


Students also may be subject to discipline, in accordance with law, Board policy, or administrative regulation, for any off-campus conduct during nonschool hours which poses a threat or danger to the safety of students, staff, or district property, or substantially disrupts school activities.
