Long-Term Suspension Re-entry Requirements

At the end of a student’s term of suspension, the student who fails to attend an alternative school program or is not given the option to attend an alternative school program or is terminated because of misconduct, will have a readmission review at the local school before the student may be enrolled.

The student must provide the following, and this information should be faxed to the Office of Student Discipline (770-513-6840).

• Submit a 500-word essay reviewing the incident that brought the student before a disciplinary hearing, discussing what the student learned from the incident, what the student would do differently in the future, why the student’s education in GCPS is important, a description of the student’s aspirations, dreams, and goals, and who can help the student achieve these goals.
• Submit three letters of reference from people other than a relative, attesting to the student’s good behavior and fitness to return to school

The Office of Student Discipline will inform local school officials when the student has satisfied the requirements and a readmission review can be held at the local school.
