Excerpt from The Book, Student's Guide to the Boston Code of Discipline: Developed by Boston High School Student Coordinators (Bhssc) And Sponsored by the School Committee of the City of Boston This Student Handbook has been prepared with the assistance of students from the Boston High School Student Coordinators (BHSSC), in order that students might have a version of the Code of Discipline which could assist them in more readily understanding student rights and responsibilities, and the rules and disciplinary procedures of the school system. It is not intended to replace the Code, which is the official document regarding discipline. Every student should have the opportunity for an education in an atmosphere that encourages academic excellence, free exchange of ideas, and maximum personal growth. It should be understood that on entering a school building, students do not divest themselves of their constitutional rights, e.g., the rights to due process, freedom of expression, orderly assembly, privacy of person, freedom from discrimination, and so forth. However, it is reasonable to expect that no student will disrupt the educational process or impose upon, endanger, or deprive others of their rights to an education. It is the policy of the Boston Public Schools to attempt to resolve disciplinary problems by every means short of exclusion from school. Fair and reasonable procedures will be followed to assure students of their rights. Students may, according to established rules, regulations, and procedures, request and receive fair hearing in any instance in which they feel they have been unfairly treated. In turn, students must recognize that, to maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning, the reasonable exercise of authority by school officials is necessary. All students should become familiar with both the Student Handbook, the Code of Discipline, and their own local school rules. We hope that you will read both documents carefully and wherever necessary ask for clarification from school staff or members of your student council.
