DISCIPLINE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Board of Education and staff of Walkersville High School believe that selfdisciplined
students are best able to participate and contribute in a good
learning environment. Teaching this condition requires cooperation and
understanding between home and school. Firm, caring, and consistent treatment
of the student by adults in both places produces ideal results.
No matter how effective a disciplinary program is, incidents do occur where a
breach of the rules takes place. Corrective actions are necessary for specific
behaviors. The school administrator has responsibility for taking the action
based upon his or her knowledge of the facts relating to the incident and the
needs of the student. It must be noted that if the violation is considered a
criminal offense, or is of such a severe nature that the discipline hierarchy need
not be applied, then the school administrator may be required to notify the
proper legal authorities. Discipline policies and procedures can be found in the
FCPS Calendar Handbook and at www.fcps.org.
