In accordance with rules and regulations in the Danville Public Schools\u2019 Standards for the Code of Conduct, measures to address classroom disruptions have resulted in:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>165 Out-of-School Suspensions at George Washington High School through the end of October. Suspension data for the month of November is being compiled and will be presented to the School Board at it the work session scheduled on December 17, 2015.<\/li>\n<li>Since the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year, a total of 31 students have been recommended for Long-Term Suspension or Expulsion.<\/li>\n<li>Students recommended for Long-Term Suspension or Expulsion may be assigned to the Langston Focus School as an alternative education placement for the duration of the suspension or expulsion.<\/li>\n<li>Presently, there are 73 students enrolled at Langston Focus School alternative education program. Students who continue to significantly disrupt and defy the Code of Conduct will be placed in the alternative education program as a disciplinary consequence.<\/li>\n<li>As indicated in the School Board meeting held last night, an additional 15 students are being assigned to the Langston Focus School as the result of continued violations of the Code of Student Conduct.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These efforts are aimed at improving the learning environment at George Washington High School. My staff and I are aware of these concerns and continue to work diligently with the staff at George Washington High School to address these issues firmly, fairly, and promptly.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.imgur.com\/4WtbMAK.jpg?resize=200%2C200\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SouthsideCentral is glad to publish the full text of Danville Public Schools Superintendent Stan Jones&#8217;s statement that he issued today about progress being made on discipline issues at George Washington High School.<\/p>\n<p> [&#8230;]<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[58,5,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-danville","category-educationcentral","category-newscentral","odd"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pwqFk-3OQ","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":14555,"url":"https:\/\/www.southsidecentral.com\/wordpress\/2015\/11\/18\/dr-stan-jones-statement-about-classroom-disruption\/","url_meta":{"origin":14684,"position":0},"title":"Dr. Stan Jones&#8217; Statement About Classroom Disruption","author":"SouthsideCentral","date":"November 18, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"SouthsideCentral is glad to publish the full text of Danville Public Schools Superintendent Stan Jones's statement that he issued today.
