Upon any violation of the established drug/alcohol policy, the student will lose ALL school activities/privileges (both co-curricular and extra-curricular) for a period of 90-school days from the first day of suspension (see * IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS below). However, for a first offense only, a student may earn the right to have co-curricular activities/privileges only reinstated after a minimum of 20-school days from the first day of suspension, subject to the following stipulations and provisions.
- Student must complete 5 (five) days of suspension at the Alternative to Suspension (ATS) program; and
- Student must complete a 12-hour drug/alcohol prevention counseling program or PRYDE.
Although a student who completes the above stipulations will be eligible to have co-curricular activities/privileges reinstated after the minimum 20-school day period, under no circumstances will the extra-curricular activities/privileges be reinstated until after the full 90-school day period.
The above 90 and 20-day periods will be carried over from one school year to the next if the offense occurred during the spring semester.
