Code of Conduct

PHILADELPHIA ELECTRICAL & TECHNOLOGY CHARTER HIGH SCHOOL CODE OF CONDUCT

The objective of our school’s Code of Conduct is to develop, encourage, and maintain an environment and atmosphere that promotes respect and consideration for others and a desire to learn.  PE & T’s Code of Conduct is designed to allow our students to be pro-active; to assume responsibility in all situations and be accountable for their actions and behavior.

The authority to exercise the disciplinary process extends to all staff.  In cases of serious misconduct, repetitive misconduct, or conduct that is grossly unbecoming of any student, that student will be referred to the Disciplinarian and the Discipline Committee for appropriate intervention. 

Any student, who knowingly and willingly continues to ignore and/or violate our school’s Code of Conduct after intervention by the Discipline Committee, will be referred to the Discipline Review Board (a panel of parents and teachers).  Upon review and examination, the Discipline Review Board will render their determination as to what action(s) should be taken.  This could include a disciplinary hearing before the Board of Trustees.

Students who are absent, suspended, failing two or more classes, or failing conduct according to our conduct formula, are not permitted to participate in any school sponsored event that day (athletics, practices, events, dances).
