Discipline

 

DISCIPLINE

All students at Bradley Central High School are expected to reflect high standards of conduct in their appearance, and behavior, and conduct themselves in a manner conducive to the smooth and orderly operation of the school. Discipline will be addressed based on the degree of violations. Repeated offenses will warrant more severe action than first offenses. Any major disturbance to the educational process which requires administrative action will be to the discretion of administration and can result in a disciplinary hearing. Administrators are responsible for the discipline of the following students: 

 

Mr. Day Ext. 3005 11th Grade/Special Education         

Mr. McMahan        Ext. 3067         12th Graders

Mr. Rich Ext. 3010        9th and 10th Grade
