The Chowan Herald
SECTION B
Suspension Regulations Are Explained
For the benefit of parents
and students in the Edenton-
Chowan School system and
as required by School Law,
the following policy on
suspension, dismissal and
appeal procedure is being
published:
It is the belief of the Board
of Education that every
child has the right to a
public school education and
that his education be ad
ministered in an orderly
manner. The Board, fur
ther, contends that every
effort be made by the school
system to provide for
regular attendance to
prevent drop-outs,
suspensions and dismissals
whenever possible.
However,, the board realizes
that situations occur that
require a principal to take
action that may result in
suspension or dismissal.
Public School Law of
North Carolina clearly
grants the power of the
principal, to suspend or
dismiss pupils in G. S. 115-
147:
“The principal of a school
shall have authority to
suspend or dismiss any
pupil who willfully and
persistently violates the
rules of the school or who
may be guilty of immoral or
disreputable conduct, or
who may be a menace to the
school: Provided any
suspension or dismissal in
excess of 10 school days and
any suspension or dismissal
denying a pupil the right to
attend school during the last
10 school days of the school
year shall be subject to the
approval of the county or
city superintendent...”
The law further grants
authority and clearly states
that exercising discipline is
a duty of the principal in
G. S. 115-150:
“TheprindTpal shall have
to grade and
classify pupils and exercise
discipline over the pupils of
the 5ch001...”

Edenton, North Carolina, Thursday, August 27, 1981
invested in principals, it is
the purpose of this policy to
reinforce this power to
assure the orderly operation
of our schools and to insure
student rights to due process
in the handling of
disciplinary cases.
The following are
procedures for handling
cases which terminate in
dismissal and suspension:
1. The.. Principal shall
notify the student con
cerning the suspension or
dismissal, clearly stating
the reason for the action and
the conditions which the
student must meet; at the
same time, the principal
shall give the student an
opportunity to present his
own case.
2. When dismissal is
recommended by the
principal, for a period
greater than 10 days or
suspension occurs during
the last 10 days of school, the
principal shall confer with
the superintendent and
secure his approval before
official action is taken. The
student shall then be
notified immediately in
writing concerning the final
decision resulting from the
conference. He also shall be
appraised by the principal
of appeal procedures
available to him in writing.
3. Before sending a
student home during the
school day, contact shall be
made with the parent or
guardian, if possible, or with
some adult in charge of the
student’s home.
4. A written notification
shall be sent promptly to the
parent or guardian stating
reasons for the suspension
or dismissal and the con
ditions which the student
must meet.
5. In all cases of
suspension notification (4
U»e .action and the reasons
for it shall be sent promptly
to the superintendent and
the chairman of the central
staff committee on appeals
and grievances.
6. In all cases where the
principal suspends ten or
more students at the same
time, the principal shall
notify the superintendent
and the chairman of the
central staff committee on
appeals and grievances
promptly.
The Board believes that
all persons have the right to
be heard through appeals.
Thus, the system-wide
procedural process for
making appeals expressing
grievances, which do or do
not involve suspension and
dismissal, shall be as
follows:
1. The student shall be
granted the right to be heard
by the classroom teacher in
a student-teacher con
ference when convenient to
both parties, and within,
where possible, twenty-four
hours. After the conference,
a record shall be made
regarding: date, length of
conference, topic and
results.
2. If the student or teacher
is dissatisfied as a result of
this conference, he may ask
for a hearing by the prin
cipal, or assistant principal
of the school.
3. If the principal deems it
appropriate, the principal,
or assistant principal, may
hold a student-teacher
conference in an effort to
eliminate misun
derstandings.
4. If either party is still
dissatisfied, appeal may be
made within five (5) school
days to the School Com
mittee on Appeals and
Grievances. The School
Committee on Appeals and
Grievances shall be com
posed of two students and
three teachers. The students
shall be representative of
black students, white
students, male students and
female students. The
teachers shall be
representative of black
teachers, white teachers,
male teachers and female
teachers. One teacher must
be a department or grade
level chairman. The School
Committee on Appeals and
Grievances will meet
regularly. In cases where
suspension and dismissal
are imminent, an appeal
will be held on school time.
The Committee shall serve
for a period of one semester
and shall be appointed by
the principal. The findings
of this committee will be
advisory. The principal
shall have final authority in
the school to decide
disciplinary measures. If
the principal overrules the
School Committee on Ap
peals and Grievances, he
shall notify the parents
personally, and by letter,
before releasing the child
for discipline.
5. If either party is still
dissatisfied after the school
committee hearing, either
party may exercise their

Sen. East Calls
Response Fair
CHARLOTTE - Sen.
John East, R-N.C., speaking
at a Charlotte Chamber of
Commerce luncheon
praised President Reagan’s
handling of the air traffic
controllers’ illegal strike
and called for “rebuilding
the air traffic control
system.”
Sen. East, a member of
the Senate Labor Com
mittee, said Reagan’s
response to the strike was
“fair but firm,” and called it
“an evenhanded blend of
concern for the strikers,
concern for air safety, and
fully in keeping with his
obligation to enforce the
law. The President allowed
a grace period for striking
controllers to return to work
before enforcing the law,
and it was the appropriate
thing to do.”
(In July, Sen. East was
one of 30 senators who
signed a letter to air traffic
