The Global Community High School staff and administration believes that each student is a unique individual with unique personal, social, and educational needs. As a result, every disciplinary situation becomes unique in nature. Consequences for misbehavior provide the best learning value when matched to the unique student and the unique situation. The Global Community High School staff dedicates itself to following a set of core beliefs that provides a guide for dealing with student discipline. These core beliefs guide our attempts to individuali e disciplinary procedures and to help students see reasonable connections between their behavior and the resulting consequences. Global Community High School follows a campus!wide progressive discipline design, with cooperative efforts between teacher, parent, student, and administration. The school!wide progressive discipline plan embodies a teacher progressive discipline process which includes a warning "teaching opportunity#, parent contact "combined adult approach#, classroom consequence "reinforcement of appropriate behavior#, counselor$s referral "professional intervention#, and parent%teacher conference "collective intervention# followed by an administrative progressive discipline process e&plained later in this document.

Global Community High School provides documentation of the 'rogressive (iscipline 'lan in writing to 'arents%Guardians at the beginning of the school year to provide a safe leaning environment for all students. The student body receives a presentation by the 'rincipal addressing all school rules and procedures along with addressing the 'rogressive (iscipline 'lan "'ower'oint available upon request#. The 'rogressive (iscipline 'lan is located in the )ain *ffice and available for public viewing. The 'rogressive (iscipline 'lan has been translated into Spanish. *rientation of school e&pectations and procedures are given in +nglish and Spanish. 'arents are made aware of the appeals process during the conferencing with administration.
