PROCEDURES
POSSIBLE
RESPONSE OPTIONS
LEVEL 2
Misbehavior whose
frequency or seriousness
tends to disrupt the learning
climate of the school.
These infractions, which
usually result from the
continuation of LEVEL 1
misbehaviors, require the
intervention of personnel on
the administrative level
because the execution of
LEVEL 1 disciplinary options
has failed to correct the
situation. Also included in
this level are misbehaviors
which do not represent a
direct threat to the health and
safety of others but whose
educational consequences are
serious enough to require
corrective action on the part
of the administrative
personnel.
Numbers listed to the right of
misbehaviors are the same numbers
assigned to the behaviors in the
Conduct Warranting Disciplinary
Action section.
