Committee on Student Conduct
The Committee on Student Conduct is the group which represents the High School community in deciding how to deal with major school infractions. The CSC consists of six students (two seniors, two juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman, who are elected by their respective grades) and four teachers (elected by the faculty), one of whom serves as the committee's Chair.
When a student has been accused of breaking a major school rule, the High School Director, in consultation with the Chair of the CSC, determines if the committee should convene or if the matter should be handled administratively. If the committee meets, it hears from the accused student and all other parties who might be involved in the case. All meetings of the CSC are confidential, and only the Chair of the CSC may share information concerning deliberations.
After reviewing all the information, the committee decides whether or not a major offense has occurred and, if so, recommends appropriate sanctions to the High School Director who, in consultation with the Head of School, decides on sanctions to be imposed. The Chair of the CSC is informed of administrative actions whether the case is handled solely by the administration or changes are made to the recommendations submitted by the committee.
