Denial of admission

The Board of Education or the superintendent may deny admission to the schools of the district for cause.  The grounds for denial of admission shall be those established by law.  (See Exhibit JHD-E.)

Students who were expelled from any school district during the preceding 12 months or whose behavior during the preceding 12 months in another school district was detrimental to the welfare or safety of other students or school personnel may be denied admission.

The Board shall provide due process of law to students and parents/guardians through written procedures consistent with law for denial of admission to a student.

The policy and procedures for denial of admission shall be the same as those for student suspension and expulsion inasmuch as the same section of the law governs these areas.
