The Exclusion and School Discipline Panels Guides have been developed to support schools; districts; panel members; parents and families when students are recommended for exclusion.  Exclusion is the most severe sanction that a school can impose on a student for a serious breach of school discipline.  A student is usually recommended for exclusion following either one severe incident or an ongoing pattern of challenging behaviour.
