CONDUCT
Applicability of School Rules and Discipline
To achieve the best possible learning environment for all of our students, Borden County
I.S.D. rules and discipline will apply whenever the interest of the district is involved, on
or off school grounds, in conjunction with or independent of classes and school-
sponsored activities. The district has disciplinary authority over a student in accordance
with the student code of conduct.
School rules apply to school social events to which a student brings a guest. Guests are
expected to observe the same rules as students attending the event, and the person
inviting the guest will share responsibility for the conduct of the guest.
A student attending a social event will be asked to sign out when leaving before the end
of the event; anyone leaving before the official end of the event will not be readmitted.
Abiding by the Law
Every student in the district, as well as every employee of the district, is expected to
abide by the laws of the State of Texas and of the United States. A violation of any of
these laws shall constitute a violation of the policies and rules of this school district, and
appropriate action will follow. The School Board recognizes that it cannot and should not
attempt to list every action that could result in disciplinary procedures; and the
enumeration of certain specific rules is not intended to exclude other rules, which are also
laws, as well as those rules of generally accepted conduct for citizens of this community
Boy/Girl Relationships
There will be no courting or any outward show of emotion toward the opposite sex in any
buildings, grounds, or in cars around school grounds. This will include handholding,
arms around the waist, head resting on shoulder, neck massage, kissing and sitting in
laps. Boys and girls will not be allowed in the same hotel room with one another on any
school trip.
Code of Student Conduct
All students are entitled to enjoy the basic rights of citizenship recognized and protected
by law for persons of their age and maturity. The school will foster a climate of mutual
respect for the rights of others. Students are expected to respect the rights and privileges
of other students, teachers and district staff. The district rules of conduct and discipline
are established to achieve and maintain order in the school. Students who violate the
rights of others or who violate district or school rules will be subject to disciplinary
measures designed to correct the misconduct and to promote adherence by all students to
their responsibilities as citizens in the school community.
