The Code of Conduct Public Hearing
-
The Rochester City School District strives to provide a safe and productive learning environment that will help students become successful and responsible citizens. Our goal is to ensure that all students have the opportunity to participate fully in their education without disruption.
The District's Code of Conduct is written to promote a positive learning environment for all students. It spells out expectations for the responsible behavior of all partners in the school community, including students, all District staff, in addition to parents/guardians, and visitors to schools.The Rochester Board of Education adopted its Code of Conduct (Policy 1400) on June 16, 2016. This policy was amended on September 5, 2023 based on New York State School Boards Association (NYSSBA) updates and the Code of Conduct Committee recommendations during the 2022-23 school year.
