School officials reserve the right to punish behavior that is subversive to good order and discipline in the schools, even though such behavior is not specified in this Student Code of Conduct. School administration will determine the penalty for violations of the Student Code of Conduct if the penalty is not specified. Otherwise, administrators will use the Discipline Matrix (see pages 41-54). School administration will report to the legal authorities any behavior that violates laws of the State of Georgia or local ordinances.

Student disciplinary penalties for violation of the Student Code of Conduct applied in one (1) school year shall be carried over to future school years if the penalty has not been completed and for the purpose of determining a second violation.
