Philosophy of Discipline
The process of educating our youth for citizenship in Tift County Public Schools is not confined to the classroom curriculum. Schools must teach by example the shared values of a civilized social order and develop a positive school climate. The students, parents, teachers, and community must work together toward promoting acceptable behavior.
Educational values we hold:
- Respect for the worth and dignity of every individual
- Respect for moral and spiritual values and ethical standards of conduct
- Equality of opportunity for all children
- Faith in mankind’s ability to make rational decisions
- Shared responsibility for the common good
- Encouragement of variability
The Code of Student Conduct is critical to providing and maintaining a positive school environment that allows for expression of these values. The purpose of the Code of Student Conduct is to:
- Outline the role of parents, students, teachers, schools, and the community in establishing a positive learning environment.
- Specify offenses which disrupt the environment.
- Standardize disciplinary actions that schools use in responding to offenses, with sensitivity to age-appropriateness of such actions.
- List laws, policies, and procedures which are related to school conduct and impact on school climate.
