ELITE PREPARATORY ACADEMY: EXPULSION POLICY
Unfortunately, there are sometimes reasons we have to expel a child from our program either on a short term of permanent basis. We want you to know we will do everything possible to work with the family of the child(ren) in order to prevent this policy from being enforced. The following are reasons we may have to expel or suspend a child from our school.
IMMEDIATE CAUSES FOR EXPULSION

Parent threatens physical or intimidating actions toward staff members.
Parent exhibits verbal abuse to staff in from of enrolled children.
PARENTAL ACTIONS FOR CHILD’S EXPULSION

Other (explain)
CHILD’S ACTIONS FOR EXPULSION
Failure of child to adjust after a reasonable amount of time.

Other (explain)
SCHEDULE OF EXPULSION
If after the remedial actions above have not worked, the child’s parent/guardian will be advised verbally and in writing about the child’s or parent’s behavior warranting an expulsion. An expulsion action is meant to be a period of time so that the parent/guardian may work on the child’s behavior or to come to an agreement with the school.
The parent/guardian will be informed regarding the length of the expulsion period.
The parent/guardian will be informed about the expected behavioral changes required in order for the child or parent to return to the school.
The parent/guardian will be given a specific expulsion date that allows the parent sufficient time to seek alternate child care (approximately one to two weeks notice depending on the risk to other children’s welfare or safety).
Failure of the child/parent to satisfy the terms of the plan may result in permanent expulsion from the school.
