STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
In January of 2019, the Virginia Board of Education approved revisions to the Student Code of Conduct Policy Guidelines, including renaming the document: Model Guidance for Positive and Preventative Code of Student Conduct Policy and Alternatives. Pages 9-10, state:
​The goal of the document is to provide school boards with guidance to revise local student codes of conduct to create a positive and preventive approach to student conduct.
Research has shown that frequent out of school suspensions, zero-tolerance policies, and “get-tough” approaches to school safety are “ineffective and increase the risk for negative social and academic outcomes, especially for children from historically disadvantaged groups.”
The 2017-2818 revision was undertaken to create a document that:
Focuses on prevention;
Recognizes the needs for instructional interventions and behavioral supports when students do not meet behavioral expectations; and
Defines equitable approaches to school discipline.
Local school boards are required to adopt and revise regulations on codes of student conduct that are consistent with, but may be more stringent than, these Guidelines.
