Question:

What is a school discipline handbook?

Answer:

The purpose of a school discipline handbook in accordance with Maryland school law is to reflect a discipline philosophy that fosters, teaches, and acknowledges positive behavior. It is designed to maintain an environment of order, safety, and discipline necessary for effective learning. The handbook should also describe the conduct that may lead to in-school and out-of-school suspension or expulsion, and allow for discretion in imposing discipline.
