You Have the Right to Exclude & Exclusion Slip
| 
You have the right to exclude students from your classroom if they are disrupting the educational process. Under state law, RCW 28A.600.020, Section 2, teachers may exclude disruptive students from their classrooms for up to two days for EACH disruptive event. Students CANNOT be returned to the classroom before the designated time is up without the teachers permission or until the teacher and administrator confer and decide otherwise. This provision is also covered under Article 10.25 in your contract.
Except in emergency situations, teachers must first have tried one or more alternative forms of corrective action before they can exclude a disruptive student. The alternative form of corrective action may, however, have occurred in prior days. The corrective action does not have to take place on the same day as the disruptive event.
VEA highly recommends that teachers exercise this legal right in order to protect the learning environment for all students in their class.
If you find that you must exclude a student from your class, you may find it helpful to use the form below.
Exclusion Slip
Dear Principal:
I have excluded __________________________________ from my classroom for the next two (2) days in accordance with RCW 28A.600.020. This student has created a disruption of the educational process in violation of the building disciplinary standards. I have attempted one or more alternative forms of corrective action.
In no event, without my consent, may an excluded student return to my class during the class or activity period for up to the following two days until we have conferred.
Article 10.25 of our contract states that the term confer means that I have had the opportunity to provide input on a plan for disciplining the student, that my input has received full consideration, and your discipline decision was discussed with me before this student returns to my classroom.
Thank you,
