All referrals are documented as to the nature of what occurred and the student's prior record of offenses. There is a code of conduct for administrators to follow. Copies of suspensions are reviewed by central office staff, and no suspensions of special ed. students are allowed without the approval of the director of that area. If any administrator is giving harsher punishments to one group of students, the documentation is there. Why not address it with the specific people they have in mind?
