Response to Behaviors
Greeley-Evans School District 6 developed a level system to help identify and provide appropriate interventions to address student misconduct. While every attempt will be made to maximize the time that students are engaged in the learning process, schools should select interventions that support students and maintain an orderly and safe learning environment.
Discipline of students with disabilities: Schools should review and be familiar with the district’s policies before undertaking discipline of students with disabilities (IEP or 504 plans). For additional guidance please contact the Office of Special Education (970) 348-6103.
Title IX: If the incident has any indication of sexual harassment (see policy AC-R2 for specific definitions) or discrimination/harassment against athletes, SOGI (Sexual Orientation and gender identity) or student who are pregnant, call your Title IX Coordinator before moving forward with disciplinary actions (970) 348-6104.

PK-2 Suspensions/Expulsions: Suspensions for students in PK-2 and expulsions for students 12 and under need to include Assistant Superintendent in the conversations, and document alternative behavioral and disciplinary interventions (BOE policy JKD/JKE).
Level 1 violations will generally be addressed by the staff member supervising the student when the violation occurs. The staff member’s response should teach the correct, alternative behavior so that the student can learn from their mistake and demonstrate safe and respectful behaviors in the future.
