Times and outlooks change rapidly. Events can rapidly make a Discipline Code outdated. This Code as well as any school policy or procedure is subject to modification or amendment, in the following ways.

1. The Board of Education as the legally constituted governing body of this school may at any time modify any of its policies. All provisions of this Code must be in line with Board policies, which are in turn governed by State of Illinois law.

2. The District 127 administration through the superintendent acts as the agent of the Board in enforcing its policies. If at any time it is perceived that any provisions—whether inadequately stated or omitted—of this Code are not supportive of Board policy, the administration is bound to initiate change in the Code. It is, however, the intent of the administration to involve students through their representative government in the examination of proposed changes.

3. If students desire to initiate changes in the Code, submit such recommendations in writing to the building Principal. The principal must give written notice within two weeks:

   • Of acceptance of the recommendation

   • Of rejection with reasons stated

   • Of a desire for further study with a procedure outlined.

4. The decisions of the Principal in this regard are subject to review by the superintendent and the Board of Education.

5. In order to announce a change in the Code, except under emergency conditions, notice of one week will be given (with the change appearing in the school bulletin daily) prior to implementation.
