My family is struggling financially and we are worried about the costs associated with school. Is there any help available?

Textbooks/supplies, uniforms and classroom supplies are some of the biggest costs for parents associated with school. In order that no student is denied educational services or academic credit due to the inability of parent(s)/guardian(s) to pay fees and charges, the District will waive fees for students who meet the eligibility criteria for a fee waiver. To apply for a fee waiver, parents should fill out a Texbook and Fee Waiver Form (Free and Reduced Meal Application will suffice for students at non-CEO schools) by contacting the Assistant Comptroller''s office at 309-282-2034 or drop off the application at the District Administrative Offices, located at 3202 North Wisconsin Ave.

Many community organizations and individuals help the District fund additional school supplies and uniforms for needy families. Athletic and activity fees are other costs that parents might incur during the year.

My child is facing suspension, expulsion or other repercussions at school after getting in trouble. What should I expect and what are my options?

SUSPENSIONS

Parent/guardian(s) have a right to a suspension review hearing through the Office of Student Affairs. Suspension from school and all school activities can be for up to 10 days, provided that appropriate procedures are followed. A suspended student is prohibited from being on school grounds or attending school activities.

EXPULSIONS

Expulsion(Exclusion from school for continuous period, exceeding ten (10) days). This measure is used in dealing with severe and repetitive acts that are in the judgment of school authorities so extreme that continued presence of the student would be disruptive and dangerous. When a student is recommended for expulsion, a hearing is held in front of the Board of Education, in which the student and his/her parent or guardian and an attorney may participate. The Board can follow through with or deny the Administration''s recommendation for expulsion.

ABEYANCE

When a student commits a drug and/or alcohol offense for which s/he may be recommended for expulsion under Board Policy, school administration is to proceed forward with a recommendation for expulsion. At the expulsion conference, the PACES Abeyance Program will be recommended for eligible

students. With acceptance into this program and by signing the PACES Abeyance Agreement, a student''s expulsion is held in abeyance (or not carried out) while the student participates for one year in counseling, and drug and alcohol testing, along with other aspects of the program.

All of the above listed repercussions are handled by the Office of Student Affairs. If you have additional questions or concerns, you can reach the Director at 309-672-6540 or william.salzman@psd150.org.

My child is being threatened or bullied at school. What can he or she do and how can I support him/her?

School Board Policy is deliberate and firm when it comes to threatening behavior and/or bullying. If a child feels threatened or bullied, he or she should immediately notify an adult at his or her school. Parents and Guardians should encourage the reporting of such behavior.
