STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT (5500)
An instructional program for all students can only be effective when it is offered in a
wholesome and orderly environment. The Board acknowledges that effective
learning is closely associated with conduct and behavior of students.

Students in the Hudson City Schools are expected to:

A. conform to reasonable standards of behavior;

B. respect the rights, person and property of others;

C. preserve and maintain the degree of order necessary for a positive
climate for learning; and

D. acknowledge the authority of the staff of the Hudson City Schools
and respond appropriately to that authority.

The items in this code are applicable to all students when properly under the
authority of school personnel during a school activity, function, or event whether on
property owned, rented, or maintained by the Board of Education or property owned,
rented, or maintained by another party. The code is also applicable to misconduct
by a student that occurs off of property owned or controlled by the District but that
is connected to activities or incidents that have occurred on property owned or
controlled by the District and Misconduct by a student that, regardless of where it
occurs, is directed at a District official or employee or the property of a District
official or employee. This policy also applies to any student, whether or not the
student is enrolled in the District, attending or otherwise participating in any
curricular program provided in the school or provided on any other property owner
or controlled by the Board.

Additionally, the provisions of this code shall apply to students if the prohibited
act(s) takes place while on properties immediately adjacent to school property,
