Due Process

Due Process

The Urbandale Community Schools follow the Supreme Court ruling outlining the minimum requirements for due process for a suspension of ten (10) days or fewer. Before being suspended, the student will be afforded:

a. Oral or written notice of the charges and,

b. explanation of the evidence if the student denies the charges, an opportunity for the student to present his/her side of the story. In all cases of possible expulsion from school, the student will be afforded due process as outlined in the Urbandale Community School District Board Policy. Appeals may be made to the next high school/District administrator.

See Board Policy 509 - Student Behavior and Discipline.
