Progress ReportingReport Cards are sent home every nine weeks and parent/teacher conferences are held twice during the school year. In addition to the regular reports, interim progress reports are sent home during the fifth week of the reporting period to students who are making below a “C” or who may not be progressing at their normal rates.

Snow DaysIn the early morning hours during inclement weather, local radio stations KCJC (FM 101), and KARV (AM 610) and state media will broadcast announcements of any school closings. The announcement will be one of the following: (1) there will be no school, (2) school will be open as usual, or (3) school will open later than usual, (4) school buses will run “Snow Routes.”In the event that school will be canceled or dismissed early, the Russellville School District will also attempt to contact all parents/guardians using the district notification system with a phone message, text, and/or email. The district will also post information to the district website, mobile app, and Facebook page.

Suspension from School – Policy 4.30Students not present at school cannot benefit from the educational opportunities the school environment affords. Administrators, therefore, shall strive to find ways to keep students in school as participants in the educational process. There are instances, however, when the needs of the other students or the interests of the orderly learning environment require the removal of a student from school. The board authorizes school principals or their designees

to suspend students for disciplinary reasons for a period of time not to exceed ten (10) school days, including the day upon which the suspension is imposed. The suspension may be in school or out of school. Students are responsible for their conduct that occurs: at any time on the school grounds; off school grounds at a school-sponsored function, activity, or event; going to and from school or a school activity. A student may be suspended for behavior including, but not limited to that which:1. Is in violation of school policies, rules, or regulations;2. Substantially interferes with the safe and orderly educational environment;3. School administrators believe will result in the substantial interference with the safe and orderly educational environment; and/or4. Is insubordinate, incorrigible, violent, or involves moral turpitude.

Note: The remainder of the policy may be viewed at http://5il.co/1e1i

Expulsion – Policy 4.31The Board of Education may expel a student for a period longer than ten (10) school days for violation of the district’s written discipline policies. The superintendent may make a recommendation of expulsion to the Board of Education for student conduct:• Deemed to be of such gravity that suspension would be inappropriate;

• Where the student’s continued attendance at school would disrupt the orderly environment; or • Would pose an unreasonable danger to the welfare of other students or staff. Expulsion shall not be used to discipline a student in kindergarten through fifth (5th) grade unless the student’s behavior:• Poses a physical risk to himself or herself or to others;• Causes a serious disruption that cannot be addresses through other means; or• Is the act of bringing a firearm on school campus.The superintendent or his/her designee shall give written notice to the parents or legal guardians (mailed to the address reflected on the district’s records) that he/she will recommend to the Board of Education that the student be expelled for the specified length of time and state the reasons for the recommendation to expel. The notice shall give the date, hour, and place where the Board of Education will consider and dispose of the recommendation.

Note: The remainder of the policy may be viewed at http://5il.co/1e1j

RUSSELLVILLE SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICIESStudent Discipline – Policy 4.17The Russellville Board of Education has a responsibility to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the district’s students and employees. To help maintain a safe environment conducive to high student achievement, the board establishes policies necessary to regulate student behavior to promote an orderly school environment that is respectful of the rights of others and ensures the uniform enforcement of student discipline. Students are responsible for their

conduct that occurs: at any time on the school grounds; off school grounds at a school sponsored function, activity, or event; going to and from school or a school activity. Each discipline incident is evaluated on the basis of its circumstances and the scope of its impact. Any disciplinary infraction is punishable from the minimum of a reprimand to a maximum of expulsion.The district’s administrators may also take disciplinary action against a student for off-campus conduct occurring at any time that would have a detrimental impact on school discipline, the educational environment, or the welfare of the students and/or staff. A student who has committed a criminal act while off campus and whose presence on campus could cause a substantial disruption to school or endanger the welfare of other students or staff is subject to disciplinary action up to and including expulsion. Such acts could include but are not limited to, a felony or an act that would be considered a felony if committed by an adult, an assault or battery, drug law violations, or sexual misconduct of a serious nature. Any disciplinary action pursued by the district shall be in accordance with the student’s appropriate due process rights.

Note: The remainder of the policy may be viewed at http://5il.co/1748

Prohibited Conduct – Policy 4.18Students and staff require a safe and orderly learning environment that is conducive to high student achievement. Certain student behaviors are unacceptable in such an environment and are hereby prohibited by the Board. Prohibited behaviors include but shall not be limited to the following. 1. Disrespect for school employees and failing to comply with their reasonable directions or otherwise demonstrating insubordination;

2. Disruptive behavior that interferes with orderly school operations; 3. Willfully and intentionally assaulting or threatening to assault or physically abusing any student or school employee; 4. Possession of any weapon that can reasonably be considered capable of causing bodily harm to another individual; 5. Possession or use of tobacco in any form on any property owned or leased by any public school; 6. Willfully or intentionally damaging, destroying, or stealing while on school property or at school events; 7. Possession of any paging device, beeper, or similar electronic communication devices on the school campus during normal school hours unless specifically

exempted by the administration for health or other compelling reasons; 8. Possession, selling, distributing, or being under the influence of an alcoholic beverage, any illegal drug, unauthorized inhalants, or the inappropriate use or

sharing of prescription or over the counter drugs, or other intoxicants, or anything represented to be a drug; 9. Sharing, diverting, transferring, applying to others (such as needles or lancets), or in any way misusing medication or any medical supplies in their possession; 10. Inappropriate public displays of affection; 11. Cheating, copying, or claiming another person’s work to be his/her own;

Note: The remainder of the policy may be viewed at http://5il.co/43xg

Search, Seizure, and Interrogations – Policy 4.32The district respects the rights of its students against arbitrary intrusion of their person and property. At the same time, it is the responsibility of school officials to protect the health, safety, and welfare of all students enrolled in the district in order to promote an environment conducive to student learning. The superintendent, principals, and their designees have the right to inspect and search school property and equipment. They may also search students

and their personal property in which the student has a reasonable expectation of privacy, when there is reasonable and individualized suspicion to believe such student or property contains illegal items or other items in violation of board policy or dangerous to the school community. School authorities may seize evidence found in the search and disciplinary action may be taken. Evidence found which appears to be in violation of the law shall be reported to the appropriate authority.

Note: The remainder of the policy may be viewed at http://5il.co/17k6

Corporal Punishment – Policy 4.39The Russellville School Board authorizes the use of corporal punishment to be administered in accordance with this policy by the superintendent or his/her designated staff members who are required to have a state-issued license as a condition of their employment.
