CITIZENSHIP REQUIREMENT
A+ students must be good citizens as determined by the proper school authorities.
The student must have no incident of drug or alcohol possession or use/abuse. Any violation (possession of drugs or alcohol, possession of paraphernalia, use, manufacture, sale or transportation) will result in the loss of eligibility from the program.
The student must adhere to a code of behavior that demonstrates respect for authority, faculty, school property, and his/her fellow students. The school's Student Handbook will serve as the definition of appropriate behavior.
Students who receive five or more days of ISS (In School Suspension), OSS (Out of School Suspension), or a combination of these in one school year will be disqualified from the program.
Students who are convicted of a felony will not qualify for the program.
Citizenship appeals may be directed to the A+ Appeals Committee when a student believes that he/she has been declared ineligible unfairly. To appeal, the student or parent/guardian must notify the A+ Coordinator in writing of his/her intent to appeal within ten days of receiving an ineligibility letter.
An A+ Appeals Committee shall hear the appeal after receiving a written request and will return its decision to the student/parent in writing. The student may appeal the A+ Appeals Committee's decision to the Superintendent of Schools or his designee.
