F. If a student with disabilities violates this policy, the
Student Assistance Team will include
representatives of the student's education team.
The team will review the student's current
educational program, the relationship between the
student's behavior and the disability and other
relevant factors. In addition to reporting the student
to local law enforcement authorities, and the
signing of a no-use contract by the student and
parent(s) or guardian(s), the team will, if
necessary, recommend appropriate educational
programming in accordance with the law.

Extended Absence for Hospitalization
A student who is absent from school due to hospitalization in a treatment center will be treated the same way as any student requiring
hospitalization. This automatically provides an extension of excused days absent for the student, and credit will not be withheld on that
basis. Dependent upon the length of treatment, the student, when s/he returns, will resume his/her previously scheduled classes. It
would follow that, if treatment extends into the second or next semester, the new schedule will be followed. If a student has received an
"incomplete" grade during hospitalization, appropriate time will be given in order for the student to make up the work.

If, prior to hospitalization, the student had not maintained a passing average in a quarter or semester course, advice of the counselor
should be sought to determine alternatives including enabling the child to participate in the course. It is advisable that year-long credit
courses be maintained for possible credit. In addition, credit will be granted for course work completed satisfactorily at the treatment
center.

Guidance counselors will alert the teachers of the returning student to provide good communication and unified approach in dealing
with make-up work.

Prevention and Education
The District will take a comprehensive, progressive, age-appropriate approach in the development of curricula and programs which
promote positive life-skill development, low-risk health and impairment choices and an awareness of the consequences associated with
alcohol and other drug use. The guidelines, goals, and objectives for prevention and education development will be consistent with the
Ohio Department of Education recommendations. Additionally, opportunities for continued alcohol and other drug use prevention and
intervention staff training and awareness training will be offered regularly in order to enhance the consistent implementation and
success of this policy.

The Hudson City Schools Student Assistance Program

The Hudson City Schools employs a Student Assistance Program Coordinator. This position provides the District with assurance of
policy development and implementations as well as comprehensive program planning and services to meet the concerns of students,
staff, parents, and the community. The Student Assistance Program Coordinator office will maintain confidential behavior checklists,
correspondence with counseling and treatment centers and Extracurricular Incident Reports. None of these records will be a part of the
permanent academic record of the student. The Student Assistance Program Coordinator reports directly to the Director of Pupil
Services and is responsible for District wide and community prevention, intervention and awareness strategies and programming.

Student and Parent Notification
At the beginning of each school year, the student code of conduct is published and reviewed with all students as a part of the
orientation process. Compliance with these standards is mandatory and requires published parent notification each year in order to
ensure parental support and compliance.
