4. Keys and Key Policy
1. Finalize and Prepare PD calendar for Distribution
PD Tuesdays and other key dates list will be published
2. Discipline Committee Report: by Mr. Jenssen
Has been meeting on Wednesdays.
Code of Conduct: Mr. Jenssen submitted to SBM a working document—listing expectations for student conduct, guiding principles for everyone at the school, and a parent/student signoff sheet. Will be “Romanized” and resubmitted it to SBM. Distribute in HR to all students before back to school night; to be included in registration / welcome packet from now on. To be translated into Spanish and Korean. Motion passed unanimously.
Student Intervention Referral form:
Q. Can there be follow-up back to teachers advising action taken by the dean’s office?
A. Mr. Jenssen says it is his intention to train Dean’s office personnel to do so.
Q. Does having a second carbon copy make it easier?
A. Yes, especially it the second copy is used to provide a response to teachers.
Q. Is it possible to have electronic documentation of referrals?
A. It was removed from ISIS—Mr. Jenssen will ask Sergio, Mannion, &/or District IT.
Q. Are there stacks of these referral slips around here somewhere? because they were just printed last year by Ms. White.
A. Mr. Jenssen will look around as well as ask Ms. White.
In-House Suspension Report: by Mr.Jenssen
Ms. Litvinoff has been doing a great job. Posters on wall with positive messages, classical music, students are doing classwork submitted by their regular classroom teachers, students are being counseled. There are maximum of 14 students. Typically there are 3-6 students scheduled per day for offenses such as detention no-show; another 6 or so brought in during the day for ditching, tardy sweep, etc. LAHS has been recognized for a sharp decrease in suspensions. It has been recommended that in-house suspension be used even for fights and drug use. Students suspended in-house still are counted as present. If students don’t work out there, they are then formally suspended. We think this has been creating a reduction in truancy. Students do not like in-house suspension—it’s acting as a deterrent.
3. Keys & Key Policy – Mr. Jenssen
It is district policy that teachers must hand in their keys at the end of each term. Flexibility exists on case by case basis.
Exterior gates were re-keyed, and only administrators, plant manager, and coaches have been given keys. There are two attendants manning the parking lot during after school hours so that Adult school teachers can arrive, and LAHS teachers can leave.
