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

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.

D. Appeal Procedure

Should a student or a student's parent(s) choose to appeal

excluded from school during the appeal process, unless
otherwise indicated in the notice of the discipline.
