FightingFighting is the exchange of mutual physical contact such as pushing or hitting, with or withoutinjury. Without clear and convincing evidence that participants in a fight attempted to avoid theconfrontation, all parties may be disciplined. Self-defense is not contributing in any way, eitherphysically or verbally, to the start or continuation of a conflict. There should be an attempt, however, toretreat or neutralize a hostile situation without escalating it. The police or law enforcement may becomeinvolved regardless of the aggressor. A student participating in repeated fighting incidents may besuspended for up to 10 days out of school or be recommended for possible expulsion.**Please note: Voluntary spectators who encourage, or contribute in any way to a fight situationwill also be subject to disciplinary action.Chronic Unacceptable BehaviorStudents who are guilty of chronic misbehavior anywhere in the building may be subject to moresevere disciplinary consequences than those guilty of an isolated, single event.
