STUDENT READMISSION TO DISTRICT

The district may continue a disciplinary investigation of a student who withdraws from the district

during the investigation. If the student later reenrolls in the district, then the disciplinary investigation
4
and/or consequences shall resume.
5
The Board may deny admission of any student (except those in state custody) who has been expelled
6
or suspended from another school district in Tennessee or another state even though the student has
7
established residency in the district in which he/she seeks enrollment.

After a request for enrollment is made, the Director of Schools shall investigate the facts surrounding
9
the suspension/expulsion from the former school district. The principal may ask the

parent(s)/guardian(s) in writing if their student has been adjudicated delinquent for an offense listed in
11
TCA 49-6-3051 and submit any records to the Director of Schools. 1 Based on the results of the

the request.

The Board shall not deny enrollment beyond the length of the imposed suspension/expulsion.
