Expulsion
Expulsion is the ultimate disciplinary action taken against a student in
which he is dismissed from Brother Rice High School. This decision will
be made by the Principal after conferring with members of the
Disciplinary Committee unless the student in question’s actions warrant
immediate expulsion, as determined by the Principal.
The student and his parents or guardians have the right to appeal the
decision of expulsion. This request must be made in writing to the
Principal within five (5) business days of the date of the Principal’s
decision. Parents/guardians forfeit the right to an appeal if the written
appeal is not made within this time frame.
The appeals team is convened within five (5) business days of receipt of
the parents/guardians written request. Their purpose is to review the
decision that resulted in expulsion. The student and his parent/guardian
may not speak in front of the appeals team.
The recommendation of the appeals team and the action taken will be
communicated to the Principal by the Dean of Student Formation. The
Principal of the school retains the right to accept or decline the
recommendation. The final action will be documented and placed in the
student’s file with a copy mailed to the parents/guardians.
