Expulsion is required under certain circumstances, and/or may be ordered by the Board when other means of corrections have repeatedly failed to result in acceptable conduct or if the continued presence of the student causes danger to the safety of others. Pupils may be expelled only for those reasons for which they also may be suspended. State law provides for full due process, including an evidentiary hearing, and rights to appeal any order of expulsion. This process is outlined in further detail in Board Policy. Mandatory Expulsion The principal or the Superintendent of Schools shall immediately suspend any pupil found to be in possession of a firearm at school or at a school activity off school grounds at an activity related to school attendance and shall recommend expulsion of that pupil to the Governing Board. The Board shall expel any pupil for the following: 1. The pupil knowingly possessed, sold or otherwise furnished a firearm except with prior written permission by a certificated employee and/or the principal or his/her designee. 2. The pupil brandished a knife at another person or was in possession of any knife, explosive, or other dangerous object if no reasonable use to the pupil at school or at a school activity off school grounds. 3. The pupil unlawfully sold a controlled substance listed in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 11053) of Division 10 of the health and safety code. 4. Committing or attempting to commit a sexual assault as defined in Subdivision (n) of Section 48900 or committing a sexual battery as defined in Subdivision (n) of Section 48900. 5. Causing serious physical injury to another person, except in self-defense. 6. Unlawful sale of any controlled substance. 7. Robbery or extortion. 8. Assault or battery, as defined in Sections 240 and 242 of the Penal Code, upon any school employee. Discretionary Expulsion Students are subject to expulsion for offenses identified in Education Code Section 48900 (f) through (l) where the Board determines: 1. That other means of correction are not feasible or have repeatedly failed to bring about proper conduct; or 2. That due to the nature of the violation, the presence of the pupil causes a continuing danger to the physical safety of the pupil or others. Expulsion Due Process Issues Any recommendation by an administrative hearing panel or school board will be overturned if the procedure requirements of an expulsion are not met. Decisions not meeting the requirements as outlined in the E.C. will be considered an abuse of discretion. An abuse of discretion is established in any of the following situations: 1. If school officials have not met the procedural requirements of this article. 2. If the decision to expel a pupil is not supported by the findings prescribed by Section 48915. 3. If the findings are not supported by the evidence. E.C. Section 48915(b): Upon recommendation by the principal, superintendent of schools, or by a hearing officer or administrative panel appointed pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 48918, the governing board may order a pupil expelled upon finding that the pupil “committed an act listed in Subdivision (a) or in Subdivision (a), (b), (c), (d), or (e) of Section 48900”. A decision to expel shall be based on a finding of one or both of the following: 1. Other means of correction are not feasible or have repeatedly failed to bring about proper conduct. 2. That due to the nature of the act, the presence of the pupil causes a continuing danger to the physical safety of the pupil or others. 19 E.C. Section 48915(e): Upon recommendation by the principal, superintendent of schools, or by a hearing officer or administrative panel appointed pursuant to Subdivision (d) of Section 48918, the governing board may order a pupil expelled upon finding that the pupil, at school or at a school activity off school grounds violated Subdivision (f), (g), (h), (I), (j), (k), (l), or (m) of Section 48900 or Section 48900.2, 48900.3, or 48900.4 and either of the following: 1. That other means of correction are not feasible or have repeatedly failed to bring about proper conduct. 2. That due to the nature of the violation the presence of the pupil causes a continuing danger to the physical safety of the pupil or others. E.C. Section 48911(g): In a case where expulsion from any school or suspension for the balance of the semester from continuation school is being processed by the governing board, the school district superintendent or the person designated by the superintendent in writing may extend the suspension until the governing board has rendered a decision in the action. However, an extension may be granted only if the school district superintendent or the superintendent’s designee has determined, following a meeting in which the pupil and the pupil’s parent or guardian are invited to participate, that the presence of the pupil at the school or in an alternative school placement would cause a danger to persons or property or a threat of disrupting the instructional process. CLOSED CAMPUS (Education Code, Section 44808.5) On October 12, 1999, the Board of Education approved the closure of all 7-12 campuses beginning with the January 2000-spring semester. This action was taken in order to maximize the District’s efforts to provide a safe and orderly environment for students. This means that students may not leave campus between periods or during lunch. An exception has been made for seniors with valid ID card and who are in good standing (behaviorally and academically) and for those with medically related needs. Other than these groups, there will be no exceptions or waivers. NOTE: Students who leave campus shall be classified as truant and subject to disciplinary action, search of person and belongings, and possible loss of eligibility for extra-curricular activities. 20 POSITIVE BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS & SUPPORTS (PBIS) APACHE 4 1. PBIS is a decision-making framework that guides selections, integration and implementation of evidence-based behavioral practices for improving important academic and behavior outcomes for all students. 2. PBIS is a preventative approach to working with students demonstrating behavior difficulties as well as encouraging and rewarding behaviors that contribute to a positive learning environment. The primary prevention of positive behavioral interventions and supports consists of rules, routines, and physical arrangements that are developed and taught by school staff to prevent initial occurrences of undesired behaviors that conflict with Sanger Unified School District behavioral policy. 3. Sanger High School has adopted the “Apache 4” focusing on Respect, Integrity, Responsibility and Tolerance. 4. “Apache 4” model of behavior is visually displayed throughout campus, including the classroom, MPR, locker rooms, gym and library via posters and banners. Each area specifically communicates how students and staff model these behaviors. 5.

Some examples of unexcused absences are: • family trip • needed at home for family business • attending a funeral of an extended family member or friend • illness without a doctor’s note TRUANT/CUT All work missed can be made up at the discretion of the teacher. Examples of truancy/cut absences are: • A student is absent for any part of the school day of his/her own accord without checking out of school before leaving campus. • A student does not arrive at school and parent assumes student is in attendance. SCHOOL ACTIVITIES Student must attend 4 periods in a 6 period day or 2 periods in a block schedule to participate in an athletic event. It is the student’s responsibility to make up their homework. Excused absence due to: • school activities • passes to Guidance or Attendance Offices • UNCLEARED ABSENCES A phone call or note from a parent is mandatory within 3 days of the absence.

The needs and abilities of all students are to be important considerations in planning assignments. You have the responsibility for helping students understand not just what is to be done, but why it is to be done and how it should be done. Corrections and comments on homework are valuable teaching devices, and should be an effective communication means between teacher and student. MAKE UP WORK Students shall be given the opportunity to make up schoolwork missed due to excused absences and given full credit if the work is turned in according to a reasonable make up schedule. Students who miss school work due to unexcused absences shall be given the opportunity to make up missed work for full or reduced credit at the discretion of the teacher. Teachers are not required to allow make up work, including exams and participation credit, for truant (CUT) students. If the student's absence was due to suspension, the teacher may require the suspended student to complete any assignments and tests missed during the suspension. (E.C. 48913) If teachers require missed work during a five day suspension teacher must submit homework by the third day or not hold student accountable for missed work. 26 Name: __________________________________________ ID#: _________________ Grade: ________ Teacher: ______________________________________________________________ Period: _______ Parent: __________________________________________ Phone: _____________________________ FIRST TARDY • Reiterate'Apache'Four' • Issue'warning' • PowerSchool'entry' Date: _____________ How many minutes late to class: ___________________ Student signature: ____________________________________________________ Teacher signature: SECOND TARDY • Reiterate'Apache'Four' • Detention'assigned'by'teacher' • PowerSchool'entry' • Teacher'to'notify'parent' THIRD TARDY • Referral(to(GLS( • Saturday'School*'assigned'by'GLS' • PowerSchool'entry' • GLS'to'notify'parent' FOURTH TARDY • Referral(to(GLS( • Two'Saturday'Schools*'assigned'by'GLS' • PowerSchool'entry' • GLS'to'notify'parent' FIFTH TARDY (including school wide) • Conference(with(Assistant(Principal( • On=campus'suspension'assigned'by'AP' • Student'placed'on'20=day'non=priv'list' • PowerSchool'entry' • AP'to'notify'parent' SIXTH TARDY (including school wide) • Conference(with(Assistant(Principal( • One=day'suspension'assigned'by'AP' • Student'placed'on'20=day'non=priv'list' • PowerSchool'entry' • AP'to'notify'parent' SEVENTH TARDY (including school wide) • Conference(with(Assistant(Principal( • Two=day'suspension'assigned'by'AP' • Student'placed'on'20=day'non=priv'list' • Referral'to'Panel'Hearing' • Placement'on'Behavior'Contract' • Trigger'SARB'process' • PowerSchool'entry' • AP'to'notify'parent' Date: _____________ How many minutes late to class: ___________________ Student signature: _________________________ Detention date: ___________ Teacher signature: Parent contact via: Date: _____________ How many minutes late to class: ___________________ Student signature: _________________________ Sat School date: ___________ Teacher signature: Parent contact via: Date: _____________ How many minutes late to class: ___________________ Student signature: ________________________ 2 Sat.

PROCEDURES FOR HANDLING QUESTIONED OR CHALLENGED TEXTBOOKS Sanger Unified School District believes in the rights of all to equal access of information, and works to uphold the American Library Association’s Library Bill of Rights: The American Library Association affirms that all libraries are forums for information and ideas, and that the following basic policies should guide their services. I. Books and other library resources should be provided for the interest, information, and enlightenment of all people of the community the library serves. Materials should not be excluded because of the origin, background, or views of those contributing to their creation. II. Libraries should provide materials and information presenting all points of view on current and historical issues. Materials should not be proscribed or removed because of partisan or doctrinal disapproval. III. Libraries should challenge censorship in the fulfillment of their responsibility to provide information and enlightenment. IV. Libraries should cooperate with all persons and groups concerned with resisting abridgment of free expression and free access to ideas. V. A person’s right to use a library should not be denied or abridged because of origin, age, background, or views. VI. Libraries which make exhibit spaces and meeting rooms available to the public they serve should make such facilities available on an equitable basis, regardless of the beliefs or affiliations of individuals or groups requesting their use. Adopted June 19, 1939, by the ALA Council; amended October 14, 1944; June 18, 1948; February 2, 1961; June 27, 1967; January 23, 1980; inclusion of “age” reaffirmed January 23, 1996.

Future graduates must be equipped with 21 Century skills (creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration) to quickly find, synthesize, and communicate information in local and global communities. Sanger Unified School District wants to ensure student develop the skills and knowledge necessary to responsibly navigate this emerging modern world. Therefore, Sanger Is beginning a journey to implement a 1:1 (student to device) program district wide utilizing Apple devices. The goals of the 1:1 program are: • Enhance and accelerate learning • Leverage technology for individualizing instruction • Promote collaboration, increasing student engagement st • Strengthen the 21 Century skills necessary for future success The device will increase access to digital curriculum, to supplement and at times replace traditional textbooks. The opportunity to use 1:1 devices give students access to anywhere, anytime learning – in classrooms, on campus, and at home. Parents are encouraged to install network filters at home so that the device experience at home can be as safe as the device experience at school. Read more about filter options here: http://goo.gl/ORsvv Educational Technology Vision Develop college and career ready students through authentic and innovative instruction in a personalized learning st environment to promote 21 Century Skills. Apps & Downloads All necessary applications and programs for use on the device will be provided by the District for academic use and are the property of Sanger Unified School District. Only downloads that have been approved the school should be installed on the device. Device Security Never leave a device unattended. When not in your personal possession, the device should be in a secure, locked environment. Unattended devices will be collected and stored in the school’s main office. Do not lend or give your device to another person. Each device is assigned to an individual and the responsibility for the care of the device solely rests with that individual. Each device has a unique identification number and at no time should the numbers or labels be modified or removed. District Policies About Technology Access to the technology in Sanger Unified School District has been established for educational purposes. The use of the Sanger Unified School District’s electronic technologies is a valued resource to our community. All electronic technologies must be used in support of the educational program of the District. This access may be revoked at any time for abusive or inappropriate conduct related to the use of electronic technologies. Failure to comply with the District policies or the guidelines stated in this document for care and use of the device may result in the loss of privilege to take the device home or use the device in general. Specific policies that apply: • • • • 32 Board Policy #0440 – Networks & Computers Board Policy #5131 – Cell phones and other devices Board Policy 6162.7 – Use of Technology in Instruction Board Policy #6163.4 – Student Use of Technology The device is the property of Sanger Unified School District and as a result may be seized and reviewed at any time. The student should have NO expectation of privacy of materials found on the device. STUDENT’S CARE AND MAINTENANCE Device Care • • • • • • Carefully transport your device to school every day. Never throw or slide a device (or a bag with a device). Never expose a device to long-term temperature extremes or direct sunlight. An automobile is not a good place to store a device (if necessary, keep in a locked trunk out of sight.) No stickers or any other items should be attached to the device itself unless placed there by school staff. Never place a device in a bag where it could get damaged (liquids, sharp objects, etc.) • Never place heavy objects on top of the device. Devices’ Cameras & Microphone The device comes equipped with audio and video recording capabilities through a built-in microphone and camera. All electronic recordings created with the device must comply with District policies and State and Federal laws. District policy prohibits the use of electronic recording devices in a manner that compromises the privacy interests of other individuals (Policy #6163.4). District policy also prohibits harassment and bullying (Policy #5131.2). Use of the device in a manner that violates District policy may result in revocation of the device and may result in further disciplinary consequences. Use of the device and any other devices with audio and video-recording capabilities during instructional time is at the discretion of the teacher, and the student must obtain prior approval to use the device for such purposes. Any electronic recordings obtained with the recording device are for instructional/educational purposes and individual use. Therefore, electronic recordings obtained with the device may not be shared, published, or rebroadcasted for any reason by the student without permission. Furthermore, users of the device should be aware that State and Federal laws in many instances prohibit secret recording undertaken without the knowledge and consent of the person or persons being recorded. Violations of State and Federal recording laws may be reported to the proper authorities and may result in criminal prosecution. Device Battery It is the student’s responsibility to charge the device at home and ensure it is ready for use in school each day. Fully charged device batteries will typically last 8 - 9 hours of use. Students are also encouraged to bring the provided wall chargers to school to ensure that their device is ready for use. Failure to do so may result in the student’s inability to participate in classroom learning activities. Lost, Damaged, Stolen Devices If the device is lost, it must be reported to the Assistant Principal’s Office as soon as possible. It may be the responsibility of the student and family to recover or replace the lost device. If necessary, the District and the police will assist in recovery. Do not attempt to gain access to the internal electronics or repair your device. If your device fails to work or is damaged, report the problem to the Assistant Principal’s Office as soon as possible. Device repair/replacement options will be determined by the Assistant Principal. If the device is experiencing technical difficulties outside of school hours, you will need to wait until you return to school to fix it. Most repairs will be completed during the summer months while the devices are updated for the new school year. Damage that renders the device unusable will be completed during the school year. Replacement fees may be assessed for lost or damaged items. 33 Insurance Program Sanger Unified School District offers a voluntary device insurance program to protect families from expensive repair costs. The device insurance cost is a $50 per incident fee and covers: • Accidental damage (including drops/cracked screens/liquid spills) • Liquid submersion • Theft (police report required) • Vandalism • Natural disasters • Power surge due to lightning Lost equipment is not covered in the “per incident fee” and will result in the following replacement costs • • Replacement cost for the provided device wall charger is $40 Replacement cost for the entire device is $550.00 If you elect not to pay the “per incident fee”, your student may not be issued a replacement device, but will be responsible for all course work. All fees for stolen devices must be accompanied by a police report. Students who leave Sanger Unified School District during the school year must return the device, along with any other accessories, including the cover, at the time they leave. PARENT’S GUIDE Common Sense Media Agreement for Parents and Teens in High School The Common Sense Family Media Agreement is a checklist that parents can use to guide conversations with their kids about media use. It’s designed to help parents establish guidelines and expectations around media use and behavior that are right for their family. Some families are comfortable using it as a signed agreement. Others prefer to use it simply as a checklist to guide conversations. Either way, it’s a great way to help parents and students to get on the same page about media and technology use. Find information here: http://bit.ly/1xNqDYj Cyber Safety – Children’s Internet Protection Act Cyber safety is an important parent-child discussion to revisit frequently, from elementary school through high school. Experts warn that children are most vulnerable to online dangers while in their own home. The following suggestions are drawn from a wide variety of professional sources that may aid you in effectively guiding your child’s use of the device and other technology devices. In accordance with the District’s Electronic Technologies Acceptable Use Policy (#6163.4), outside of school, parents bear responsibility for the same guidance of Internet use as they exercise with information sources such as television, telephones, radio, movies and other possibly offensive media. Parents are responsible for monitoring their student’s use of the District’s educational technologies, including school-issued email accounts and the Internet if the student is accessing the District’s electronic technologies from home or through other remote location(s). Put the device to bed, but not in the bedroom Parenting experts suggest parking all technology devices, from cell phones to devices, in a common family room overnight to discourage late night, unmonitored use and sleep disruption. Don’t allow your teen to sleep with the device or cell phone. Remember to model appropriate use and balance of technology in your own life, too! Filter Access While many potential dangers are filtered and blocked on the school’s wireless network so students can’t access them, children often have complete, unrestricted access to inappropriate sites at home. Experts strongly suggest installing software to filter and block inappropriate content on your wireless home network. Some possible filters to consider include OpenDNS (free version available), SafeEyes, and NetNanny. Some of these products offer additional protection 34 features such as cell phone filtering, text message and photo screening tools, and digital footprint/ reputation monitoring. Read more about filter options here: http://goo.gl/r8uOjM Set Expectations Regularly share your expectations with your child about accessing only appropriate sites and content, as well as being a good person when online (even when parents aren’t watching). Outside of school, it is likely that your child has already been confronted with multiple opportunities to access content that parents wouldn’t approve, such as pornography, hate sites, celebrity gossip and more, all of which may influence your teen’s beliefs, values and behavior. Understand that your teen’s use of many technologies (such as iPods, video game systems, and cell phones) likely gives your teen the ability to connect to unfiltered public wireless networks (such as in a library or coffee shop, by picking up a neighbor’s wireless signal, or connecting to the Internet through a cell service). Therefore, it is important to maintain regular, open dialogue about Internet use and access. Discuss your expectation for appropriate use and behavior. Monitor & Limit Screen Time Experts suggest having teens surf the Internet in a central place at home, such as the kitchen or family room, rather than away from adult supervision or behind a closed door. Know what your child is doing with technology and how his or her time is being spent. Technology can be a great tool and resource, but also has the potential to be a big distractor. Help your child learn to focus on completing tasks or assignments first before spending time on games, shopping and social networking. Teaching today’s children how to manage multiple sources of information and potential distractions is a critical life skill, one best learned before heading off to college or the workplace.

Nothing on line is totally private, even if it is intended to be. Once digitized, it can be saved, sent and reposted. A good rule of thumb: If you don’t want a parent, teacher, principal, future employer or college admissions office to know something, don’t post it online. Ask yourself “Would Grandma approve?” “Friends” aren’t always who they say they are; undercover police and pedophiles pretend to be kids online. Encourage your teen to only be friends online with friends they know in person. Never post or share personally identifiable information on line or with people met online. This includes: full name, address, phone number, e-mail, where you are meeting friends or where you hang out. Discuss with your teen how easy it is for someone to find you based on what you post online. Cyberbullying (threatening or harassing another individual through technology) is a growing concern.
