IC 20-24-5.5-1: Establishment of discipline rules

Sec. 1. A charter school shall:

(1) establish written discipline rules, which must include a graduated system of discipline and may include:

(A) appropriate dress codes; and

(B) if applicable, an agreement for court assisted resolution of school suspension and expulsion cases;

for the charter school; and

(2) publicize the discipline rules within the charter school where the discipline rules apply, which may include:

(A) making a copy of the discipline rules available to students or parents, guardians, or custodians of students; or

(B) delivering a copy of the discipline rules to students or parents, guardians, or custodians of students.

The publicity requirement is satisfied if the charter school makes a good faith effort to disseminate the text or substance of the discipline rules to students or parents, guardians, or custodians of students generally.
