Discipline Procedure

Discipline is the process of changing a student's behavior from inappropriate to exemplary. We are never satisfied with merely stopping poor behaviors; we desire to teach the student to do what is right. We do not discipline a student out of anger or for the sake of convenience, but with a true desire to help the student to do what is right. Though few students desire discipline, they often need it to reach their full potential.

When discipline is necessary, CCA will utilize a progressive discipline processes, which is designed to create the expectation that the degree of discipline will be in proportion to the severity of the behavior leading to the discipline, that the previous discipline history of the student being disciplined and other relevant factors will be taken into account, and that all due process procedures required by federal and state law will be followed

Refer to the Coweta Charter Academy Discipline Code and Progressive Discipline Matrix for additional information on the standards of conduct CCA students are expected to follow, details on discipline for violations of these standards, and specifics on the disciplinary process.

Discipline assignments take precedence over all school activities (school events, band practice, field trips, etc.) Students suspended and/or expelled may not attend, participate or represent the school in any school activity during the terms of that exclusion or removal. Students returning to campus after a recommended expulsion may continue to be prohibited from extracurricular activities.

If a student enrolls from another school discipline reports will be requested and reviewed prior to their first day.  CCA, in its sole discretion, may choose to continue the disciplinary process and/or action that was in process at the originating school at the time the student transferred to CCA.
