Christina School District Seeks Volunteers
to Serve on Annual Code of Conduct Review Committee

The Christina School District is seeking parent and community volunteers to serve on the District’s 2010-2011 Student Code of Conduct Review Committee. This committee is formed every year for the purpose of reviewing the current Student Code of Conduct and considering proposed changes.  Christina will continue this annual review process again this year, and will work collaboratively with the state’s School Discipline Task Force to address the Task Force’s recommendations. The Task Force is expected to file a report by January 15, 2010. 

“We welcome involvement by the community in making the Student Code of Conduct fair and equitable to all students,” said Christina Superintendent Dr. Marcia V. Lyles. “The District has invited public feedback on the Student Code of Conduct every year for many years, and this year
is no exception.  We may see a larger number of people engaged in this issue this year, and that’s a good thing.  We may see some changes and recommendations coming from the state’s Discipline Task Force, and that’s a good thing, too. We are ready to hear from the public and to work together to develop a Student Code of Conduct that reflects our community’s goals for school discipline and student safety.” 

Interested members of the public are invited to attend the first meeting of the Student Code of Conduct Review Committee on Thursday, January 7 at 7:00 p.m. at Keene Elementary School.  If you are interested in becoming involved
in the Review Committee, but cannot attend the first meeting, please call Christina’s School Discipline Office at 552-2632 to have your name added to the contact list for future meetings and communication about the Committee.
