Code of Conduct
In line with its Core Beliefs and Commitments (see Policy BAB: School Board Governance), the Henry County Board of Education has established a comprehensive Code of Conduct that focuses on creating a supportive, safe, secure, and equitable learning environment while promoting the academic, social, and emotional development of students. Henry County Schools' approach to student conduct reflects our commitment to understand and address the causes of student behavior and teach students appropriate behavior while providing a safe and secure learning environment for all students.
The Henry County Board of Education's Code of Conduct was designed and created to comply with the progressive discipline processes set forth in O.C.G.A. §20-2-735, which states that discipline will be in proportion to the severity of the behavior leading to the discipline, that the previous discipline history of the student during the current school year and other relevant factors will be taken into account, and that all due process procedures required by federal and state law will be followed.
A copy (digital and/or hardcopy) of the Code of Conduct is provided annually to each student in grades pre-K through 12th. Students who enroll in Henry County Schools during the school year will receive the Code of Conduct at the time of enrollment.
