This school year Bend-La Pine Schools rolled out a new Student Code of Conduct, which is available on the District website – GO HERE to read or download it. The Code of Conduct outlines how our schools respond when we have student behavioral issues that may lead to discipline, and how we are making sure those responses are consistent and fair from one school to the next. Eric Powell, a Director of Student Services for the District, is Dr. Cook’s guest for this episode. Eric played an instrumental role in developing this new resource and talks about what it is, how it works, and why it’s an important tool for ensuring students are able to succeed and thrive in their school communities.
