P. 51

c. indicate the appeal must be filed within fourteen
                            (14) days of receiving the notice of expulsion;

                  d. include notification that the expulsion may be
                            subject to extension, if the student is sixteen (16)
                            years of age or older;

                  e. contain a statement that the Superintendent may
                            seek to permanently exclude the student if the
                            student is convicted of or adjudicated a delinquent
                            child for the violation, if the offense is one for which
                            the District may seek permanent exclusion.

                  A student expelled for more than twenty (20) days or for
                  any period of time if the expulsion will extend into the
                  following semester or school year shall, in the notice
                  required above, provide the student and the student's
                  parent, guardian, or custodian with information about
                  services or programs offered by public and private
                  agencies that work toward improving those aspects of the
                  student's attitudes and behavior that contributed to the
                  incident that gave rise to the student's expulsion. The
                  information shall include the names, addresses, and
                  phone numbers of the appropriate public and private
                  agencies.

                  The Superintendent shall initiate expulsion proceedings
                  pursuant to this policy with respect to any student who
                  has committed an act warranting expulsion under this
                  policy, even if the student has withdrawn from school for
                  any reason after the incident that gives rise to the hearing
                  but prior to the hearing or decision to impose the
                  expulsion. If, following the hearing, the student would
                  have been expelled for a period of time had the student
                  still be enrolled in school, the expulsion shall be imposed
                  for the same length of time as on a student who has not
                  withdrawn from school.

C. Community Service

         The Superintendent, at his/her discretion, may require a
         student to perform community (including the School District)
         services in conjunction with or in place of an expulsion or
         suspension. This may also extend beyond the end of the school
         year in lieu of applying the suspension or expulsion into the
         following school year. This provision does not apply to students
         expelled or suspended for bringing a firearm to a school
         operated by the Board or onto property owned or controlled by
         the Board.

                                                                                             49
