Bulloch County Schools Student Code of Conduct 2023-2024
General Expectations
The purpose of the Code of Conduct is to communicate established student behavioral expectations. Students are expected to behave in a way that facilitates an effective, safe, and positive learning environment. Expected behavior is behavior that promotes learning and encourages personal responsibility during the school day as well as during all school-related activities. Included in the Code of Conduct are disciplinary policies, description of infractions, and consequences for failure to adhere to school rules. Pursuant to Georgia law, student codes of conduct/discipline policies shall identify consequences to address specific misbehavior as specified by law (O.C.G.A. 20-2-751.5).
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:
