      STUDENT EXPULSION POLICY

      STATEMENT OF GOVERNANCE POLICY

      300 – Schools/Students
      Policy No 302.6.5
        
      Adopted Date: June 26, 2001  

       
      Latest Reviewed/Revised Date: April 27, 2021

       
       


      In keeping with the Mission, Vision and Values of the Niagara Catholic District School Board, the Board is committed to promoting and supporting appropriate student behaviour that contributes to a positive school climate and sustaining a caring, safe, inclusive, and accepting learning and teaching environment for all students to reach their full academic, and spiritual potential and become living witnesses of Christ.

       

      A positive school climate exists when all members of the school community feel safe, included, and accepted, by actively promoting responsibility, respect, civility, and academic excellence in all Niagara Catholic schools/sites.

       

      The conduct of students as members of the Catholic school community is expected to be modelled upon our Catholic faith, the traditions of Catholic education, and the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations and shall adhere to all applicable Board Governance Policies and Administrative Operational Procedures.

       

      The Niagara Catholic District School Board acknowledges that should a student in Grades 4 to 12 act inappropriately or impedes the rights of others, the consequences may lead to expulsion from a school or all schools of the Board.

       

      The Director of Education will issue Administrative Operational Procedures for the implementation of this policy.
