W1 ,Y 1 l ' 4 Deans Strive To Help Maintain Smooth Discipline To assist the teachers in the maintenance of discipline in the classroom and to insure the students' adherence to the rules and regulations of the school are the main purposes of the deans' office. Four deans strive to accomplish these goals. The main concerns are to enforce all rules and regulations of the school in a personal and understanding manner. Another concern is to coordinate a harmonious atmosphere between students. teachers and administrators. Due to changes made by the state and federal courts, there are new laws regulating the disciplinary actions taken against students. lt has been felt by the courts that the students' rights have been infringed upon, explains Bucky Harris. Deans' Department chairman. A student must be informed of the charges against him, of the identity of his accusers and of his right to appeal the judgment against him. There are no longer automatic suspensions. This means the deans do not decide the length of suspensions, rather, the courts through an investigation make the decision. In cases of corporal punishment and suspensions, individual reports are sent to the county office and the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. ps-an-., Mr Robert Cotton one of our hard working deans works diligently at the tedious but necessary task of catching up on his paper work. 55
