Schools Focus on Review Statf FARMINGTON- - Davis County schools will focus on student as the core of their school discipline plans, said a school district official. Each county school and teacher will be developing and submitting a discipline plan in the next few months to the school district. Most of the countys 62 schools who already had such plans, will revise them. Under a policy approved by the State Board of Education the school district was required to develop and implement a comprehensive student discipline plan. It was approved by the school board and submitted to the state in July. Each school will use the districts plan as a guideline in changing or writing their own, said Steven Whitesides, the director of educational support services for the district. Whitesides was also the chairman of last Self-Discipli- ne up with consequences for recalcitrant students. A disruptive child in the hypothetical classroom may get pulled aside and talked to the first few times. The child may then be sent to the principal if the behavior is continued. The principal may then have to talk to the childs parents. Sometimes the child may have to be excluded from the classroom for a short time, Whi- -' oping a policy congruent with the years student discipline for the APRIL ADAMS district. The. new school district discipline plan allows flexibility, but at the same time sets the tone, he said. The policy sets guidelines for how long students should be suspended from school and the due process that should be granted offending students, he explained. The plan also gives guides to be followed for special education students. We want to encourage and fosWe ter in kids want to develop that type of attitude and get students to exhibit that, the director said. The schools must develop written behaviour standards and consequences for students who disobey them. The standards were and will be developed by administration, support staff, parents, students and other citizens. We needed parents and students to be involved, so they own a piece of the policy he said. Along with each school devel e.

But as far as corporal punishit will be used very ment, sparingly, he added. We think of students is a the factor. very important As an example of a teacher developing a student discipline poliWhitesides used a cy, hypothetical third grade classroom situation. The teacher would sit and talk with the children at the beginning of the year about responsibilities and respect for others, he explained. The group would decide oq some basic rules to be followed during the year. But when kids make rules for. other kids, they really hammer them, so the teachers soften it, he said. The rules, such as no running in the hallway, make up the core of the discipline program. The group may also come ne tesides said. In some of the countys schools, a plan called assertive discipline is being used, he said.

The capital outlay part of the mill levy could have been raised higher but Sheryl Allen, board president, reminded the board that twp years ago, the board made a promise to the voters that the mill levy in that area would not go above 18 mills if they passed an education bond elec- nance and operation, 2.86 mills from the voted leeway, .31 mill for transportation and .15 mill for tort liability, making a total of 43.50. The 18 mill capital outlay was actually a higher choice than the planned 17.11 mills. But Superintendent Lawrence Welling said the growth in the district will create problems and that raising the mill to 18 would be farsighted. The raise to 18 mills will give the district approximately $500,000 more. Ms. Allen said Davis District has the lowest dollar per student in the state due to the high number of children and the low density of industry. has to drop the hammer, on the student, he explained.
