Time to Leave Classroom

There will be times when a teacher feels it is important to have a student leave the room. The teacher may be intervening in an argument, or addressing a student’s unwillingness or inability to participate in a learning activity. There are other conditions under which the teacher has authority to instruct a student to leave the room, and these will be discussed in a Spectrum activity and used to help MVAS develop our code of courteous and professional conduct.

All students have the right to appeal to an administrator, or an advisor, and to have a conference with the teacher later. However, the student does not have the right to refuse to leave the area. Students are encouraged to pursue appropriate action through proper channels after the fact. Do not challenge this rule or the teacher in a heated moment. Leave the area immediately and seek out your advisor, an administrator or a peer mediator. If you fail to leave when the teacher asks you to leave, it will be considered a defiant act, which will be dealt with further.
