40 <br />student Conduct Students are expected to dress and act properly while attending classes. At the discretion of <br />Requirements Learnet administration, a student may be terminated without the grace period from school <br />for a serious incident or repeated incidents of an intoxicated or drugged state of behavior; <br />possession of drugs or alcohol upon school premises; possession of weapons; disrespectful <br />behavior to other students, an administrator, or faculty member; or any other stated or <br />determined infractions of conduct. <br />Substance Abuse Learnet recognizes that individuals sometimes use substances such as alcohol and drugs to <br />an extent that impairs abilities. This policy is implemented because Learnet believes that any <br />student's impairment due to the use of substances is likely to place that student, other <br />students, employees, and other personnel at risk of injury. <br />Our policy on substance abuse remains consistent, whether alcohol, marijuana, legal or <br />illegal prescription, and/or controlled substances are at issue. For the purposes of this policy, <br />"substance" refers to any of the above. "Impairment" or "being impaired" refers to a state <br />in which normal physical or mental faculties in use at school have been detrimentally <br />affected by a substance. A "substance abuser" is anyone who uses drugs for non -medical <br />purposes, detrimentally affecting academic performance or interfering with normal social <br />adjustment at school. <br />Any student attending school while impaired or who becomes impaired while at school will <br />be found in violation of school policy and will be subject to severe disciplinary action. Such <br />action can include suspension, dismissal, or other penalty appropriate to the circumstances. <br />Likewise, the use, possession, transfer, or sale of any substance on school premises or in any <br />Learnet parking space, storage area, or job site is prohibited and subject to severe <br />disciplinary action. Students using prescription drugs have a duty to report this to their <br />instructors and school officials in case an adverse reaction to the medication occurs while at <br />school, and in case the student is falsely accused of using an illegal substance. When a <br />student is involved in the use, possession, transfer, or sale of a substance in violation of this <br />policy, Learnet may notify the appropriate authorities. Such notice will be given only after <br />the incident is investigated and reviewed by the Executive Director. <br />Substance abuse is both a school and a medical problem. Learnet is aware that substance <br />abuse is a complex public health issue that has both physical and emotional consequences <br />for students, their families, and other social relationships. Any psychological or physical <br />problem affecting academic performance is the concern of Learnet. <br />Any instructor suspecting a substance abuse case should discuss the matter with the <br />Executive Director immediately. Because each case is different, the handling and referral of <br />the case must be coordinated between the instructor and the Executive Director. Learnet <br />maintains a referral service for students with substance problems. Counseling and referrals <br />are provided on a confidential basis. Voluntary, successful participation In a recovery or <br />rehabilitation program may be a mitigating factor in disciplinary action, depending on the <br />particulars of each case. While Learnet does not require students to get help, he or she may <br />ask the school for it. In some cases, disciplinary action may be suspended, or the student <br />may be placed on probation, pending the successful completion of a recovery program. <br />Students who enter a rehabilitation program due to performance or behavior problems <br />resulting from substance abuse are subject to dismissal for failing to successfully complete <br />the program. <br />Date on April 4, 2023 <br />
