CANDIA SCHOOL DISTRICT
BEHAVIOR MANAGEMENT AND INTERVENTION

It is the policy of the Board to promote good behavior in a safe and orderly environment where all
students can be fully engaged in the learning process. To ensure that our students and staff are
protected against disruptive behavior, the board directs the Superintendent or his/her designee to set
forth procedures for behavior management and interventions that are designed to maintain a positive
environment that is conducive to learning.

Student conduct that causes disruption or violates the rights of others will not be tolerated and shall
be cause for disciplinary action, which may include suspension.

The administration of disciplinary action will focus both on consequences and on changing or
managing inappropriate behavior.

It is important that there be careful evaluation of the individual situation so that the school’s
response to the student is fair and appropriate.

If the student has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), the process will follow federal and
state laws governing special education.

All available resources should be utilized, including preventive and responsive interventions to
support students’ needs. Exclusion from the classroom should be the disciplinary action of last resort.

The principal will also ensure that classroom behavior management skills are fostered through
professional development, and that there is an adequate system of recordkeeping regarding
disciplinary infractions and interventions.

The use of corporal punishment is prohibited in District schools.

This policy will be reviewed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the Board’s policy review
process.
