Student Suspension/Expulsion Policy

STUDENT SUSPENSION/EXPULSION POLICY: The GHC Student Suspension/Expulsion Policy mandates that: “The GHC expulsion review committee shall recommend expulsion in those cases where the expulsion review committee has found that a student has been in possession of a firearm, brandished a knife at another person, possessed an explosive device; committed or attempted to commit a sexual assault or committed a sexual battery; or has sold a controlled substance as defined in Chapter 2, commencing with Section 110053, of Division 10 of the California Health and Safety Code. These incidents are enforceable at school or at a school activity off school grounds.” The above policy action affects only the operation of expulsion review committees and does not alter or limit the responsibility of local school administrative directors as indicated below in the Guidelines for Student Expulsions.
