Student Code of Conduct
Important Code of Conduct Updates for 2024-2025
There have been a few changes to the Code of Conduct for the 2024-2025 school year. We encourage all parents and students (as they are able) to read and have a good understanding of the school district's expectations for good behavior at school. Violations of the Code of Conduct can result in disciplinary action, including the possibility of expulsion with or without the option of attending our alternative learning program, the Transition Learning Center.
Details of these consequences are outlined in the 2024-2025 Recommended Consequences for Code of Conduct Violations - Grades 6-12 and the 2024-2025 Bulloch County Schools Guidance for Disciplinary Action - Grades 6-12. Please reach out to the administrators at your school with any questions.

General Expectations
The rules in the Code of Conduct are designed to notify students (grades K-12) as to the types of behaviors that are not acceptable. Nevertheless, every specific variation of the prohibited Code of Conduct may not have been included.
Consequently, students should expect to be disciplined for misconduct that is obviously inappropriate. A specific violation need not be written for every conceivable variation of behavior that directly affects the orderly mission of the school. Students, their parents, and school personnel need to know and understand our expectations:
- Required Reports to Outside Agencies Concerning Student Acts
- Threats, Intimidation, & Terroristic Threats
- Questioning & Apprehension by Law Enforcement on School Premises
- Student Search & Seizure Policy
- Corporal Punishment, Suspensions, Expulsions
- Student Disciplinary Hearings
- Alternative School Program
- Physical Violence Resulting in Substantial Injury to Faculty & Staff
- Discipline for Special Education Students
- Violations of Student Code of Conduct
- Elementary Consequences
- Middle & High School Consequences
- Weapons, Dangerous Instruments, Fireworks, or Explosive Compounds
- Directory of Disciplinary Offenses
