Committee approves lowering consequence level for K-5 students who leave classroom without permission
Summary
The committee voted to move the "leaving the classroom without permission" infraction for K-5 students from level 2 to level 1; grades 6-12 will remain at level 2.
The St. Mary Parish Discipline Committee approved a proposal to change the discipline matrix so that K-5 students who leave the classroom without permission receive level 1 consequences instead of level 2.
Mr. Holmes presented the packet material and said, “There is a proposal to change the consequences for K through 5 students who violate the leaving the classroom without permission infraction... the proposal is that the K through 5 students will receive level 1 consequences when they violate that infraction.” He reiterated that the change would not affect grades 6–12.
A committee member moved to accept the proposal; another member seconded. The motion was carried by voice vote and recorded in the meeting as approved.
No implementation timeline or amendment to the packet was proposed during the meeting; administrators will apply the revised level for K-5 once the policy change is finalized.
