School Calendar and Parent Information

Rich Tradition, Bright Future 

Superintendent’s Message 

Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year! 

I hope you enjoyed a refreshing summer of fun activities with family and friends. 

Our teachers and staff members have been busy preparing your schools and classrooms, 

and carefully planning a dynamic year of learning. Whether you are part of the Class of 

2013 and preparing for graduation this year, or part of the Class of 2025 and just starting 

kindergarten this year, I wish you a rewarding year filled with learning, laughter and 

life-enriching experiences!! 

This school calendar and parent information publication is intended to serve as an easy 

reference for families. Additionally, this calendar contains dates and times for many 

important events scheduled in our schools. I encourage you to get involved with your 

child/ren’s education. 

This year, like every year, we will commit ourselves to providing the best educational experience possible to all. 

We are looking forward to a successful school year working with you and your children. 

Sincerely, 

NEW 

Terry Quist, Superintendent 

Beginning in the 2012-13 school year, families will now be able to pay for athletic fees and deposit money into 

their meal account through an online service called ePayTrak using their debit card, credit card, or electronic 

check. There will be a link on the district’s website to perform these transactions. The first time you utilize this 

service you will be asked to register for an account. Once that is established, you will only have to log in to the 

site. Please note, users will be charged a convenience fee to process these transactions to defer the cost of 

merchant fees. Families may still submit payments for athletic fees and meal accounts as they’ve done in the past 

– this is simply an electronic option for added flexibility and convenience. For assistance with the online payment 

service, please contact Trevor Peterson, Director of Business Services, at 762-2141 x4206.

Calendar Information 

The 2012-13 School Calendar and Parent Information 

publication was printed with the most recent information 

available at the time of printing. Times and dates for events 

occasionally need to be rescheduled and some events are 

not scheduled until the school year is already underway. As 

you receive newsletters, daily bulletins, or sports schedules 

from individual schools, remember to verify and update the 

school calendar information as necessary. 

You may also check the district’s website at 

www.alexandria.k12.mn.us for information throughout 

the school year. 

Due to limited space, only varsity sports events are reflected 

within the calendar. Separate sports schedules are available 

at the Jefferson High School Activities Office and can be 

downloaded from the district website. 

Copies of the calendar are mailed to district residents 

with children attending District 206 schools. If you have 

questions or comments about the calendar, you may 

contact Jill Johnson at 320-762-2141 ext. 4202 or 

email: jjohnson@alexandria.k12.mn.us.

The Alexandria School Board acts as a link between the school system and the public. It also sets policy for the school district. The School Board is made up of seven district residents, 

elected at large to four-year terms. Term expirations are staggered to ensure that the Board has experienced members serving at any given time. Board elections are held in November 

in years ending in an even number. 

School Board Meetings 

Regular meetings of the board are held the third Monday of each month* 

(*except for January & February due to Federal Holidays) at 7:00 p.m. in 

the District Oak Conference Room, 1410 South McKay Avenue, Suite 201, 

Alexandria. All meetings are open to the public. Special meetings and work 

sessions are scheduled as necessary. Board agendas, minutes, and the 

meeting schedule are on the District 206 web site at 

www.alexandria.k12.mn.us. 

With proper notice the meeting schedule is subject to change. 

Meeting minutes and notice of change in meeting dates are published in 

the legal notices of the Echo Press and posted on the district website. 

Individuals wishing to present matters of concern to the School Board are 

encouraged to make a written request to the Superintendent of Schools at 

least seven days prior to a scheduled board meeting. 

For more information call the Superintendent’s Office at 

762-2141 ext. 4211 or e-mail: 206info@alexandria.k12.mn.us.

Food & Nutrition Services 

The mission of Food and Nutrition Services is to 

provide high quality, nutritionally sound, food service 

programs that support student learning. All District 206

All meals served meet nutritional standards established 

by federal (U.S. Department of Agriculture) and state 

(Minnesota Department of Education) regulations. 

Policies set by School District 206 also govern these 

programs. 

Students and staff are offered meals at a reasonable 

price. Parents are welcome to eat with their child. 

Please call the school office ahead of time to allow for 

food preparation.

There is a $3.00 transaction fee when making a 

meal payment using this service. To ensure your 

security, ePayTrak does not store personal bank or 

credit card information. The first time you choose 

to pay online, you will be asked to register and set 

up an account through the secure ePayTrak website. 

Online meal payments are like any other credit card 

transaction, so your payment may take up 

to one business day to be processed. 

E-Mail Notification for Meal Account Balances 

The Food and Nutrition Services Department is able to 

email families with a low account balance. This service 

is designed to improve communications to parents, and 

helps eliminate the number of phone calls and contacts 

made about meal account balances. Families interested 

in this service will need to provide their email address 

and sign a communication release form to send out 

your account balance, as privacy laws prohibit us from 

sending out unsolicited personal financial data 

via email. 

The E-Mail Communication Release Form will be 

included in the summer mailing from our department to 

families. It is also available throughout the school year 

at the Food & Nutrition Services office, 617 18th Ave 

E in Alexandria, your child’s school office, or online at 

www.alexandria.k12.mn.us/fns.

District 206 employs one school nurse district wide. 

A school health paraprofessional (SHP) or the building 

secretary will be responsible for your child’s health needs 

when the nurse is not available. 

To promote good health for students and staff, 

District 206 has established the following procedures: 

Reporting Illness or Absences 

When your child stays home with an illness, call your child’s 

school health services office. 

Returning to School 

Students may return to school as ordered by their health 

care provider or when their symptoms are gone. If a child 

has a fever, they should not return to school until their 

temperature has returned to normal for 24 hours without 

the use of fever-reducing medication. 

Parents requesting that their child be allowed to stay inside 

during recess due to medical or physical reasons should 

make the request in writing. In order to stay inside for 

physical or medical reasons beyond one day, a physician’s 

note is required. 

Send Home Policy 

If a student has a temperature of 100 degrees or higher, 

or is determined to be too ill to be in school for the day 

(diarrhea, vomiting, suspicious rash, chronic coughing, etc.) 

the parent/guardian will be called to pick up their child. 

Student Immunization Law 

According to the State Immunization Law, “All students 

must have a complete record of immunizations prior to 

attending school.” This applies to all students enrolled 

in any of the district’s schools as well as Early Education 

Center preschool classes or Early Childhood Special 

Education. 

Students entering kindergarten must show evidence of 

having the following immunizations: 

• Five (5) Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis (Whopping Cough) 

• Four (4) Polio 

• Three (3) Hepatitis B 

• Two (2) 

• Two (2) 

MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) 

Varicella (Chicken Pox-either date of 

illness or date of immunization) 

Health Services 

In addition to the above, students entering 7th grade in 

September must also show evidence of a: 

• Tetanus Booster (Td – given at or after age 11) 

Your child’s immunization records remain in the school 

system once enrolled. Be sure to update your child’s 

health file by sending written verification each time he 

or she has received another immunization. 

Parents may get a legal exemption from the school law 

for medical reasons or conscientiously held beliefs. A 

notarized statement indicating which immunizations are 

objected to is necessary before the start of the school 

year. Students who do not meet the requirements will 

be excluded from school according to the Minnesota 

State Immunization Law. For further information, visit 

the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) website, 

www.health.state.mn.us/immunize. 

Medication Policy and Procedure 

Parents may request that the school district administer 

medication to their child when it is necessary during 

the school day. 

The following procedure must be followed: 

• No medication is administered by health services 

personnel without specific written instructions from 

a physician. This includes all over the counter (OTC) 

medications, such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen and 

cough drops, except as noted below. 

• Parent/guardian and prescribing health care provider 

must sign the authorization sheet for prescription 

medications given during the school day by staff. 

• Medications must be delivered in pharmacy 

labeled containers. 

• OTC medications must be in original containers. 

All medications brought to school must be kept in the 

health services office. An exception would be a medication 

kept with the student once approved by the school nurse 

with proper physician’s orders, i.e. inhalers, epi-pens or 

diabetes equipment and medication). OTC pain-relieving 

medication (acetaminophen and ibuprofen) can be carried 

by students in middle/high school, with the proper 

paperwork filed in the Health Office. 

Vision and Hearing Screenings 

Vision and hearing 

screenings will be given 

to all children K-6, 7, 

and 10 each year, as well 

as any new students in 

grades 8, 9, 11, and 12. 

These screenings are 

typically conducted in 

mid-October. Parents/ 

guardians will receive a 

referral letter advising them to consult a physician should 

a screening indicate a vision or hearing concern. In the 

event that your child should need glasses and that poses a 

financial hardship for your family, please contact the health 

services office at your child’s school to inquire about the 

“Have A Heart Fund” to assist with offsetting some of 

those costs. 

Scoliosis Screening 

Scoliosis screening is done by the school nurse for 

girls in 5th grade. Fifth grade students are typically 

screened in correlation with the introduction of the 

musculoskeletal unit. Due to MDH recommendations, we 

rescreen girls the spring of their 6th grade school year. 

Dates for vision, hearing and scoliosis screenings will be 

posted to the Health Services section of the website as 

they are finalized, as well as through school newsletters 

sent home to parents/guardians. 

Physical Exam Recommendations & Requirements 

Early childhood screenings are required before entering 

Kindergarten (refer to page 34). It is recommended 

that children have a physical exam before entering 

kindergarten, grades 4, 7, 10 and have a yearly dental 

exam. Students who plan to participate in High School 

League activities must have a physical examination on 

file within the previous three years before the start of the 

activity’s season. 

31

Weather/Emergency School Closing 

When emergency situations occur, including weather conditions or school building 

site limitations (i.e. water, heat, electrical), the decision to close schools, start late, 

or dismiss early will be made by the Superintendent or his/her designee. The decision 

will be based on information provided by the transportation director, buildings and 

grounds director, emergency service providers, and other area school districts. 

School closings due to severe weather or other emergency reasons will be broadcast 

on the following stations: 

KIKV FM (100.7 FM) 

Praise FM (KBHL: 103.9 FM) 

Cool 94.3 FM 

WCCO-TV 

KXRA AM (1490 AM) 

KARE-TV 

KX-92 FM (92.3 FM) 

KSTP-TV 

Z99 FM (99.3 FM) 

KMSP-TV 

Announcements will also be posted on the homepage of the district Web site at 

www.alexandria.k12.mn.us. The District will also use the School Reach Instant 

Alert system to notify families of school closures. 

Generally, school will be in session if it is felt that the buses can make their routes 

safely. When weather conditions are questionable, the district’s transportation 

director will do considerable checking of road conditions. Since the school district is 

very large, it is impossible to determine the conditions in every sector on any given 

day. Safety for students and staff is our first priority. Based on the information the 

superintendent receives from the transportation director, a decision is made to either 

close the schools or keep them open. 

Parents/Guardians 

Please do not call the schools or broadcast stations. If you don’t hear an 

announcement, assume school is in session. 

Even if school is in session, parents are asked to assess their particular situation and 

determine whether or not it is safe for their child(ren) to attend school on a particular 

day. Children absent in inclement weather when school is held will be marked absent 

and treated the same as in any other legitimate absence. The school however, must 

receive proper parental notice. Please plan with your child what you will do in a 

school closing emergency. 

If schools are closed… 

The decision on cancellation or postponement of co-curricular practices, events, 

and/or games will be made by the co-curricular director with the approval of the 

Superintendent after consultation with the identified resources and the secondary 

school principal. 

Transportation 

Riding the school bus is a 

privilege, not a right. Safety 

is the first priority for the 

Transportation Department. 

Students are expected to 

follow the same behavioral 

standards while riding school 

buses as are expected on school 

property or at school activities, 

functions, or events. 

The School District School Bus Safety Rules are posted on 

every bus. Enforcement of the rules is necessary for the safety 

of all passengers. It is the school bus driver’s responsibility 

to report unacceptable behavior to the Transportation Office 

and School Office. All school rules are in effect while a student 

is riding the bus or at the bus stop. Any student who violates 

the student conduct and/or school bus safety rules is subject 

to disciplinary action in accordance with the District Discipline 

Policy and may result in the denial of transportation privileges 

upon notification of the parent or guardian. 

Important Back to School Information 

Busing information, including bus numbers, bus stop location, 

pickup times and drop-off times, was mailed 

to each student’s home. 

Please review the School Bus Safety Rules as outlined below with your child. 

Rules at the bus stop 

• Get to your bus stop 5 minutes before your scheduled 

pick-up time. The school bus driver will not wait for late 

students. 

• Respect the property of others while waiting. 

• Keep your arms, legs, and belongings to yourself. 

• Use appropriate language. 

• Stay away from the road when waiting for the bus. Wait 

until the bus stops before approaching the bus. 

• After getting off the bus, move away from the bus. 

• If you must cross the street, always cross in front of the bus 

where the driver can see you. Wait for the driver to signal 

to you before crossing the street. 

• No fighting, harassment, intimidation, or horseplay. 

• No use of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs. 

Parents who did not receive a transportation letter can call the 

Transportation Department at (320) 762-3317. 

Rules on the bus 

• Immediately follow the instructions of the driver. 

• Sit in your seat facing the front.

Student Training 

The School District shall provide students enrolled in grades 

Kindergarten through 10 with school bus safety training. The 

training shall be results-oriented and shall consist of both 

classroom instruction and practical training using a school bus. 

Upon completion of the training, a student shall be able to 

demonstrate knowledge and understanding of at least the 

following competencies and concepts: 

• Transportation by school bus is a privilege, not a right; 

• District policies for student conduct and school bus safety; 

• Appropriate conduct while on the bus; 

• The danger zones surrounding the school bus; 

• Procedures for safely boarding and leaving the school bus; 

• Procedures for safe vehicle lane crossing; and 

• School bus evacuation and other emergency procedures. 

School bus safety training shall commence during School Bus 

Safety Week, the first week of school. The School District may 

deny transportation to a student who fails to demonstrate the 

competencies, unless the student is unable to achieve the 

competencies due to a disability. 

Consequences for Misbehavior 

Consequences for school bus/bus stop misconduct will be 

imposed by the building principal or designee in conjunction 

with the Transportation Director. Serious misconduct will 

be reported to the Department of Public Safety and may be 

reported to local law enforcement. 

Consequences for school bus/bus stop misconduct will apply 

to all regular routes. Decisions regarding a student’s ability 

to ride the bus in connection with co-curricular and extracurricular 

events (for example, field trips or competitions) 

will be in the sole discretion of the school district. Parents 

or guardians will be notified prior to any suspension of bus 

privileges, and, if appropriate, a parent-student-transportation 

department conference will be held. 

Elementary (K-6) 

1st offense Written warning. 

2nd offense 3-school-day suspension from the bus. 

3rd offense 5-school-day suspension from the bus. 

4th offense 10-school-day suspension from the bus and 

a meeting with parent/guardian. 


Further offenses will be individually considered. Students 

may be suspended for longer period of time, including the 

remainder of the school year. 

Note: When an elementary student goes 60 calendar days 

without a report, the student’s consequences may start over 

at the first offense. 

Secondary (7-12) 

1st offense Written warning.

Other Discipline 

Based on the severity of the student’s conduct, more serious 

consequences may be imposed at any time. Depending on 

the nature of the offense, consequences such as suspension 

or expulsion from school also may also result from school bus/ 

bus stop misconduct. 

Records 

Records of school bus/bus stop misconduct will be forwarded 

to the individual school building and will be retained in the 

same manner as other student discipline records. Reports 

of serious misconduct will be provided to the Department 

of Public Safety. Records also may be maintained in the 

Transportation Office. 

Vandalism/Bus Damage 

Students damaging school buses will be responsible 

for the damages. Failure to pay such damages (or make 

arrangements to pay) within two weeks may result in the loss 

of bus privileges until damages are paid. 

Notice 

Students will be given a copy of school bus and bus stop rules 

during school bus safety training. Rules will be posted on each 

bus, and the driver will review both rules and consequences 

periodically with students. 

Criminal Conduct 

In cases involving criminal conduct (for example, assault, 

weapons possession, or vandalism), the Superintendent, 

local law enforcement officials, and the Department of Public 

Safety will be informed. 

Video Surveillance Cameras 

To assist in resolving problems that occur on the bus, 

video surveillance cameras are being used. Students are 

subject to being taped (video and audio) at any time while 

on board a District 206 school bus. The privacy rights of all 

students will be protected.

Early Childhood Screening 

Early Childhood Screening is required for children entering kindergarten in a 

public school. District 206 offers free developmental screening and contracts 

with Douglas County Public Health (DCPH) to provide this service. 

A public health nurse will check your child’s vision, hearing, growth and 

development, speech, and health history. Screening is designed to evaluate 

current development of children and if needed, suggest resources to assist 

your child in preparation for kindergarten. The screening summary information 

is sent automatically to School District 206. 

DCPH will contact parents when their child is about age 3 1/2. If a child is 

enrolled in the Head Start Program or was screened in another community, 

it is not necessary to attend this screening. However, the results need to be 

forwarded to our district. If you have any questions, contact Patty Hobbs at 

DCPH, (320) 763-6062.

occasionally take photographs or videos and 

conduct interviews of students and staff participating 

in school activities. These items may be used in district 

newsletters, newspapers, local and cable television, 

educational videos, and/or on the district web site. 

If used on the web site, no personally identifiable 

information, such as name, grade, etc., will be used. 

If you DO NOT want your child photographed, 

videotaped, or interviewed, please inform your 

child’s school principal. The school district requires 

signed photo release forms only for students who are 

participating in special education or special needs 

programming. 

Please call your child’s school principal or contact Jill 

Johnson, Communications Coordinator, with questions. 

Co-Curricular Programs 

District 206 believes that 

participating in co-curricular 

activities is an important part 

of a student’s total educational 

experience. Discovery Middle 

School and Jefferson High School have Activities Offices 

that oversee co-curricular activities. A wide variety 

of activities are available for students with the desire 

and dedication to expand and develop their talents to 

include: athletics, fine and performing arts, academic 

competitions, school clubs, and leadership opportunities. 

While activity fees are charged, no student will be denied 

participation in an activity because of an inability to pay. 

For more information, contact Bob Brakke 

at Discovery Middle School (762-7900 ext. 3006) or 

Dr. David Hartmann at Jefferson High School (762-7745).

School District Policies and Notices 

Health Related Notices 

Indoor Air Quality and Asbestos Notice 

The district has an indoor air quality management plan that 

describes efforts to monitor and improve air quality in the schools. 

Contact Buildings & Grounds at (320) 762-2141 ext. 4207 with 

issues concerning indoor air quality. 

In accordance with federal regulations, School District 206 has 

management plans documenting the location and condition of all 

known or assumed asbestos containing building materials (ACBM) 

in each building. Plans are available for public inspection at each 

school building during regular office hours. 

It is the intention of School District 206 to comply with all federal 

and state regulations controlling asbestos and to take the necessary 

steps to ensure students and employees a healthy and safe 

environment in which to learn and work. Every three years, the 

Alexandria School District conducts a reinspection by a Minnesota 

Department licensed asbestos inspector to determine whether the 

condition of the known or assumed asbestos containing building 

materials (ACBM) has changed and to make recommendations on 

managing in place or removing the ACBM. Periodic surveillance 

of all asbestos containing materials occurs every six months. 

Jerry Bitzan, Buildings and Grounds Supervisor is our designated 

asbestos program coordinator, and all inquiries regarding the 

asbestos plan and asbestos-related issues should be directed to 

him at (320) 762-2141 ext. 4207. 

Pest Control Notice 

State law requires schools to inform parents about the use of pest 

control materials. Our district utilizes a licensed, professional pest 

control service firm for the prevention and control of rodents, 

insects, and other pests in and around the district’s buildings. 

Their program consists of: 

• Inspection and monitoring 

• Maintenance and sanitation 

• Utilization of non-chemical measures 

• Application of EPA-registered pest control materials. 

School District Related Policies 

Equal Educational Opportunity (Policy 102) 

It is the school district’s policy to provide equal educational 

opportunity for all students. The school district does not unlawfully 

discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, national 

origin, sex, marital status, parental status, status with regard to 

public assistance, disability, sexual orientation or age. The school 

district also makes reasonable accommodations for disabled 

students. This commitment is expressed in the Board-approved 

equal educational opportunity policy in the following areas: 

• The school district prohibits the harassment of any individual for 

any of the categories listed above. 

• This policy applies to all areas of education including academics, 

coursework, co-curricular and extracurricular activities, or other 

rights or privileges of enrollment. 

• It is the responsibility of every school district employee to comply 

with this policy conscientiously. 

• Any student, parent or guardian having any questions regarding 

this policy should discuss it with the appropriate school district 

official as provided by policy. 

Student Disability Nondiscrimination (Policy 521) 

The purpose of this policy is to protect disabled students from 

discrimination on the basis of disability and to identify and evaluate 

learners who, within the intent of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation 

Act of 1973, need special services, accommodations, or programs 

in order that such learners may receive the required free 

appropriate public education. 

In order to fulfill its obligation under Section 504, the Alexandria 

School District has a policy that states that no discrimination against 

any person with a handicap will knowingly be permitted in any of 

the programs and practices of the school system. 

For this policy, a learner who is protected under Section 504 is one 

who: has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits 

one or more major life activities, including learning; has a record of 

such impairment; or is regarded as having such impairment. 

Selection and Review of Instructional Materials (Policy 632) 

School District 206 has a process in place for parents, guardians, 

and adult students to review instructional materials, address 

concerns, and propose alternative instruction for individual students 

if there is an objection to the content. The “Procedure for Review 

of Instructional Material and Alternative Instruction” may be 

obtained at the District Administrative Offices, 1410 South McKay 

Avenue, Suite 201, Alexandria. 

Protection and Privacy of Pupil Records (Policy 515) 

The school district recognizes its responsibility in regard to the 

collection, maintenance and dissemination of pupil records and 

the protection of the privacy rights of students pursuant to the 

requirements of federal (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) 

and state (Minnesota Government Data Practices Act) statutes. 

Therefore, educational records that identify a student, other than 

directory information, will not be released to the public without 

written permission of the parent of adult student. Exceptions are 

explained in the policy and may be reviewed in principals’ offices.

District-wide Student Discipline (Policy 506) 

I. STATEMENT OF POLICY 

It is the position of the school district that a fair and equitable district-wide school discipline 

policy will contribute to the quality of a student’s educational learning experience. Therefore, this 

district-wide discipline policy has been adopted. 

It is the responsibility of the school board, administrators, teachers, and employees to safeguard 

the health and safety of each student. The School Board and district administrators will support 

district personnel who, in dealing with students on disciplinary matters, act in accordance with 

state statute, State Board of Education regulations, and this policy. 

Parents and guardians have the legal responsibility for the behavior of their children as 

determined by law and community practice. Parents/guardians are expected to exercise the 

required controls so that the student’s behavior will be conducive to the development of selfdiscipline 

and will not be disruptive to the school’s educational program. 

No policy will cover all situations. Therefore, the building administrator(s) or designee will make 

a determination of consequence/disciplinary action when student actions are NOT specifically 

addressed. All actions by an administrator/designee will be made on a case by case basis. 

The following School Board policies apply to all school and school sponsored activities. 

II. 

CODE OF CONDUCT 

The School District 206 community will operate under an established code of conduct. Through 

open and effective communication, this set of guiding principles will promote excellence in a safe 

learning and teaching environment. 

Students, staff, parents and community members will dedicate themselves to the 

following standards: 

Respect – Be considerate of self, others, their beliefs and property. 

Honesty – Be truthful. 

Kindness – Be caring, friendly and helpful. 

Responsibility – Be dependable and accountable. 

Fairness – Be committed to the just treatment of others. 

III. RULES OF CONDUCT 

Disciplinary action will be taken for any behavior which disrupts good order or violates the rights 

of others. The following acts are unacceptable behavior subject to disciplinary action in the 

school district: 

A. Truancy and Unauthorized Absences 

1. As required by current statutes, regulations of the State Department of Education, and the 

School Board of this district, students shall be in attendance each day that school is in session. 

The authority to decide whether an absence is excused or unexcused rests with the building 

principal and/or parent or guardian. Students returning to school following an absence will be 

expected to complete all missed assignments within a reasonable period of time. 

2. Truancy, for purposes of this policy, is being absent from school or class without the approval 

of the school and parent/guardian. 

3. If a student develops a pattern of tardiness to school or class, disciplinary action will be taken. 

4. A pupil sixteen (16) or seventeen (17) years old will be classified as a “habitual truant” if 

absent one or more school periods on seven school days if the student has not lawfully 

withdrawn from school. (For elementary students the requirement is three days.) 

B. Damage to School or Personal Property 

1. Vandalism: Vandalism is the willful damage to or destruction of school property or 

property of others. 

2. Theft: Theft is the act of intentionally and without claim of rights taking, using, transferring, 

concealing, or retaining possession of removable property of another without consent and 

with intent to deprive the owner permanently of the property, or the finding of lost property 

and not making reasonable effort to find the owner. 

C. Assault: “Assault” means an act done with intent to cause fear in another of immediate bodily 

harm or the intentional infliction of or attempt to inflict bodily harm upon another. 

D. Aggravated Assault: “Aggravated Assault” is committing an assault upon the person of 

another with a dangerous weapon or an assault which inflicts great bodily harm upon the 

person of another. 

E. Verbal Assaults: Verbal assaults are abusive, threatening, profane, or obscene language, oral or 

written, toward a staff member or another student. This includes, but is not limited to, conduct 

which degrades people because of their race, sex, age, sexual orientation, religion, ethnic 

background, physical or mental handicaps. 

F. Threats or Disruptions 

1. Dangerous Threats: Threats to normal school operations or school activities, including but 

not limited to the reporting of dangerous or hazardous situations that do not exist. 

2. School Disruptions: School disruptions are any disturbance or interruptions of school or 

school-sponsored activities. 

G. Dangerous, Harmful and Nuisance Substances and Articles 

1. Drugs & Alcohol: Students are prohibited from using, possessing (including paraphernalia), 

distributing, or being under the influence of illegal drugs, alcohol or narcotics at school, schoolsponsored 

activities, or on school grounds. For students participating in MSHSL activities this 

provision applies whether on or off school grounds. 

2. Use of Tobacco: Students are prohibited from possession or use of any type of tobacco 

product while on school grounds or at school-sponsored activities. 

3. Harmful or Nuisance Articles: Students are prohibited from possession or use of articles that 

are nuisances, illegal, or that may cause harm to persons or property at school and schoolsponsored 

activities. 

4. Possession of a Dangerous Weapon: “Dangerous Weapon” means any firearm, whether 

loaded or unloaded, or any device designed as a weapon and capable of producing death 

or great bodily harm, or any flammable liquid or other device or instrumentality that, in the 

manner it is used or intended to be used, is calculated or likely to produce death or great 

bodily harm. (M.S. 609.02, Subd. 6; M.S. 609.66, Subd. 1). 

Students and non-students, including adults and visiting youths, are forbidden to knowingly or 

voluntarily possess, store in an area subject to one’s control, handle, transmit, or use any instrument 

that is considered a weapon or a “look-alike” weapon in school, on school grounds, 

at school activities, at bus stops, on school buses or school vehicles, or entering upon or departing 

from school premises, property, or events. This prohibition applies to all school owned buildings 

and grounds, leased or owned, and within all school owned, leased, or contracted vehicles. 

“Possession” means having a weapon on one’s person or in an area subject to one’s control in a 

school location as listed above. 

H. “School Location” includes any school building or grounds, whether leased, rented, owned or 

controlled by the school, locations of school activities or trips, bus stops, school buses or school 

vehicles, school-contracted vehicles, the area of entrance or departure from school premises or 

events, all locations where school-related functions are conducted, and anywhere students are 

under the jurisdiction of the school district. 

I. Exceptions: 

1. A person who finds a weapon in a school location or discovers that he or she accidentally has 

a weapon in his or her possession, and takes the weapon immediately to the principal’s office 

shall not be considered to possess a weapon. If it would be impractical or dangerous to take the 

weapon to the principal’s office, a person shall not be considered to possess a weapon if he or 

she immediately turns the weapon over to an administrator, teacher or head coach or immediately 

notifies an administrator, teacher or head coach of the weapon’s location. 

2. It shall not be a violation of this policy if a nonstudent falls within one of the following categories: 

a. licensed peace officers, military personnel, or students participating in military training, 

who are performing official duties; 

b. persons who carry pistols according to the terms of a permit; 

c. persons who keep or store in a motor vehicle pistols in accordance with Minnesota 

Statutes, Section 624.714 and 624.715 or other firearms in accordance with Section 

97B.045; 

(1). Section 624.714 specifies procedures and standards for obtaining pistol permits and 

penalties for the failure to do so. Section 624.715 defines an exception to the pistol 

permit requirements for “antique firearms which are carried or possessed as curiosities 

or for their historical significance or value.” 

(2) Section 97B.045 generally provides that a firearm may not be transported in a motor vehicle unless 

it is (1) unloaded and in a gun case without any portion of the firearm exposed; or (2) unloaded and 

in the closed trunk. 

d. firearm safety or marksmanship courses or activities conducted on school property; 

e. possession of dangerous weapons, BB guns, or replica firearms by a ceremonial color guard; 

f. a gun or knife show held on school property; or 

g. possession of dangerous weapons, BB guns, or replica firearms with written permission of the 

principal. 

3. Policy Application to Instructional Equipment/Tools 

While the school district takes a firm “Zero Tolerance” position on the possession, use or distribution 

of weapons by nonstudents, such a position is not meant to interfere with instruction or the use of 

appropriate equipment and tools by students or nonstudents. Such equipment and tools, when 

properly possessed, used and stored, shall not be considered in violation of the rule against the 

possession, use or distribution of weapons. However, when authorized instructional and work 

equipment and tools are used in a potentially dangerous or threatening manner, such possession and 

use will be treated as the possession and use of a weapon. 

J. Consequences for Weapon Possession/Use/Distribution by Nonstudents 

1. Employees 

a. An employee who violates the terms of this policy is subject to disciplinary action, including 

nonrenewal, suspension, or discharge as deemed appropriate by the school board. 

b. Sanctions against employees, including nonrenewal, suspension or discharge shall be pursuant 

to and in accordance with applicable statutory authority, collective bargaining agreements, and 

school district policies. 

c. When an employee violates the weapons policy, law enforcement may be notified, as 

appropriate. 

2. Other Nonstudents 

a. Any member of the public who violates this policy shall be informed of the policy and asked to 

leave the school location. Depending on the circumstances, the person may be barred from 

future entry to school locations. In addition, if the person is a student in another school district, 

that school district may be contacted concerning the policy violation. 

b. If appropriate, law enforcement will be notified of the policy violation by the member of the 

public and may be asked to provide an escort to remove the member of the public from the 

school location.

persons or property. If a student is removed from class due to immediate and substantial 

danger to himself/herself and no conference has been held, the teacher will notify the office 

immediately to inform the principal of the action taken. 

3.The length of time of the removal from class shall be at the discretion of the principal after

of the school year. Nothing in this policy is intended to conflict with The Pupil Fair Dismissal Act. 

C. Parents shall be notified in writing or by phone of violation of the rules of conduct and resulting 

disciplinary actions except as provided otherwise by The Pupil Fair Dismissal Act. Students 

shall be notified of violations of the Rules of Conduct and resulting disciplinary actions verbally 

except as provided otherwise by The Pupil Fair Dismissal Act.

expelled for weapons, assault or drugs. 

E. While suspended, excluded or expelled, students will not be allowed to be present at any 

school location. Students who are present will be considered trespassing and be treated as 

such. 

F. The school district must report, through the MDE electronic reporting system, each expulsion 

or exclusion within thirty (30) days of the effective date of the action to the Commissioner. This 

report must include a statement of alternative educational services given the student and the 

reason for, the effective date, and the duration of the exclusion or expulsion. The report must 

also include the student’s age, grade, gender, race, and special education status. The dismissal 

report must include state student identification numbers of affected students. 

VII. ADMISSION OR READMISSION PLAN 

A school administrator shall prepare and enforce an admission or readmission plan for any student 

who is excluded or expelled from school. The plan may include measures to improve the student’s 

behavior, including completing a character education program consistent with Minn. Stat. § 

120B.232, Subd. 1, and require parental involvement in the admission or readmission process, 

and may indicate the consequences to the student of not improving the student’s behavior. The 

readmission plan must not obligate parents to provide a sympathomimetic medication for their 

child as a condition of readmission. 

VIII. STUDENT REFERRAL SYSTEM 

Students who have demonstrated a need for individual assessment will be referred to the building 

principal or assistant principal. All referrals will be reviewed and the appropriate resource called 

upon for consultation, and assessment. 

If assessment or re-assessment is found to be appropriate, parent/guardian consent must be 

obtained before assessment may take place. Upon completion of the assessment a staffing will be 

held to discuss the results of assessment and the need to develop an individual education plan (IEP). 

Students with an IEP who are repeatedly involved in unacceptable behavior will be re-assessed to 

determine the need for an alternative program or further assessment. 

IX. DISABLED STUDENTS 

Students who are currently identified as eligible under the IDEA or Section 504 will be subject to 

the provisions of this policy, unless the student’s IEP or 504 plan specifies a necessary modification. 

Where a student is dismissed for five (5) or more consecutive days, or has accumulated more 

than ten (10) days of dismissal over the course of the school year, the school district will convene 

a meeting to determine whether the student’s educational program is appropriate and to review 

all relevant information in order to determine whether the behavior subject to discipline is a 

manifestation of the student’s disability. Such a meeting must be held within ten (10) school 

days of the school district’s decision to remove the student from his or her current educational 

placement and must be held before commencing an expulsion or exclusion of the student. If 

the student’s educational program is appropriate and the behavior is not a manifestation of the 

student’s disability, the school district will proceed with discipline – up to and including expulsion 

– as if the student did not have a disability, unless the student’s educational program provides 

otherwise. If the team determines that the behavior subject to discipline is a manifestation of the 

student’s disability, the team shall conduct a functional behavioral assessment and implement a 

behavioral intervention plan for such student provided that the school district had not conducted 

such assessment prior to the manifestation determination before the behavior that resulted in 

a change of placement. Where a behavioral intervention plan previously has been developed, 

the team will review the behavioral intervention plan and modify it as necessary to address the 

behavior. If the student was placed in a 45-day interim alternative educational setting pending the 

manifestation determination, the student will be returned to the placement from which the student 

was removed unless the student and school district agree to a change of placement as part of the 

modification of the behavioral intervention plan. 

When a student who has an IEP is excluded or expelled for misbehavior that is not a manifestation 

of the student’s disability, the school district shall continue to provide special education and 

related services during the period of expulsion or exclusion. 

X. OPEN ENROLLED STUDENTS 

The school district may terminate the enrollment of a nonresident student enrolled under an 

Enrollment Options Program (Minn. Stat. § 124D.03) or Enrollment in Nonresident District (Minn. 

Stat. § 124D.08) at the end of a school year if the student meets the definition of a habitual truant, 

the student has been provided appropriate services for truancy (Minn. Stat. Ch. 260A), and the 

student’s case has been referred to juvenile court. The school district may also terminate the 

enrollment of a nonresident student over the age of sixteen (16) enrolled under an Enrollment 

Options Program if the student is absent without lawful excuse for one or more periods on fifteen 

(15) school days and has not lawfully withdrawn from school. 

XI. LOCKERS 

School lockers are the property of the school district. At no time does the school district relinquish 

its exclusive control of lockers provided for the convenience of students. Inspection of the interior 

of lockers may be conducted by school authorities for any reason at any time, without notice, 

without student consent, and without a search warrant. The personal possessions of students 

within a school locker may be searched only when school authorities have a reasonable suspicion 

that the search will uncover evidence of a violation of law or school rules. As soon as practicable 

after the search of a student’s personal possessions, the school authorities must provide notice of 

the search to students whose lockers were searched unless disclosure would impede an ongoing 

investigation by police or school officials. 

XII. LOST OR DESTROYED TEXTBOOKS 

A student and his/her family will be responsible for payment for any lost or damaged books or 

materials with the cost to be determined by the building principal depending on the values of the 

books and/or materials (governed by Board Policy 543 – Lost or Damaged Text and Library Books). 

*A copy of Appendix A – Disciplinary Guidelines may be obtained from your building principal.
