Expulsion Hearing
A student will receive prior written notice of a disciplinary
hearing that will specify the time and place of the expulsion
hearing as well as the charges made against the student and evidence
for these charges. The hearing panel will consist of the one of
the school directors, the student’s teacher and/or advisor,
and the members of the Student Discipline Committee (made up of
two board members). After hearing and weighing the evidence, the
hearing panel will determine by majority decision whether the
student will be expelled from LCCS. A student awaiting an expulsion
hearing will not be able to attend school.
Appeal of Expulsion
A student has the right to appeal the decision of the hearing
panel to the Grievance Committee of the Board of Directors. Members
of the Grievance Committee may not sit upon the Student Discipline
Committee simultaneously. A student who has been expelled in an
expulsion hearing shall have ten days from the date of expulsion
to notify the Grievance Committee in writing of an appeal. The
student will not be permitted to return to school while awaiting
an appeal hearing. The Grievance Committee may meet within ten
days of notification of an appeal. The judgment of the Grievance
Committee is final and binding.
