Furthermore, students struggling to adhere to District 127's Discipline Policy may also be placed on probationary status.

  • First infraction: 18 week loss of parking. In the event that the school year ends prior to the conclusion of any loss of parking suspension, that suspension will continue into the following school year for so long as it was determined that this privilege was to be revoked. Students whose suspended parking privileges carry over into the following school year will not be allowed to purchase a parking permit until that student's parking privileges have been reinstated.

  • First offenders will have the opportunity to reduce their suspension to nine weeks. The student must complete an approved D127 youth evaluation and any subsequent recommended class and/or treatment.
