                           fourteen (14) days of receiving the notice of

                           seek to permanently exclude the student if the

                           child for the violation, if the offense is one for which
                           the District may seek permanent exclusion.

        3. If an appeal is filed and a hearing is held, then notice of
                  the decision shall be sent by the Superintendent/designee
                  to the student's parent, guardian or custodian, and the
                  Treasurer of the Board. If the suspension is upheld in any
                  form, such written notice shall state that the decision of
                  the Superintendent/designee may be further appealed to
                  the Board of Education by the student's parents, or
                  guardian before appealing to the Court of Common Pleas.
                  The decision of the Superintendent/designee may also be
                  directly appealed to the Court of Common Please pursuant
                  to Ohio law. The notice should further state that an
                  appeal to the Board of Education must be made in writing
                  to the Treasurer of the Board of Education within fourteen
                  (14) days of receiving the Superintendent's/designee's
                  appeal decision.

B. Student Expulsion

         At times, the behavior of a student can be considered so serious
         as to justify total removal from the educational program for a
         prolonged period of time. Actions meriting expulsion are set
         forth in the student code of conduct. The Superintendent may
         expel a student. Expulsion is the removal of a student from
         more than ten (10) days, but not more than one (1) year, unless
         the expulsion is extended in accordance with Ohio law. An
         expulsion can extend beyond the end of the school year if there
         are fewer school days than expulsion days remaining. The
         Superintendent may apply any remaining part or all of the
         period of the expulsion to the following school year.

         When the alleged misconduct becomes known, the
         Superintendent shall do the following:

         1. Give the student and the student's parent, guardian, to
                  custodian written notice of the intention to expel the
                  student with the notice to contain:

                  a. the reason(s) for the intended expulsion;

                                                                                              47
