It is important to outline disciplinary consequences for dating violence aggressors in your policy. The following is an example of the suspension and expulsion rules from our Model Protocol:

The District recognizes that a single incident of physical dating violence or sexual violence on school campus, and/or repeated non-physical incidents of dating abuse on school campus are grounds for long-term suspension or expulsion.

Other grounds for suspension or expulsion that arise in teen dating and sexual violence situations include: causing, attempting to cause, or threatening physical injury to another person; willfully using force or violence upon the person of another; and committing or attempting to commit a sexual assault or sexual battery as defined in the Cal. Penal Code §§ 261, 266c, 286, 288, 288a, 289, 243.4. Sexual harassment, by itself, is also a ground for suspension or recommendation for expulsion.
