Sample Statement for Recommending Expulsion

of a Student Who Continues Misbehaving

in the Alternative Education Program

To: Principal Smith

Re: Student expulsion; Section 37.007(c)

Over the past four weeks I have taught Jean in my classroom in the alternative education program. Today Jean started shouting obscenities at another student and then hit the other student in the face. See accompanying documentation.

Jean's act violated the student code of conduct. Pursuant to Section 37.007(c) of the Texas Education Code, I recommend that Jean be expelled from school because of her very serious, persistent misbehavior that violates the code.
