Student Discipline and Behavior Support
CMS Alternatives to Suspension Programs

The Community Service Program

Community Service is designed to allow the student an opportunity to work in the community. Each student and parent/guardian will receive a consent form explaining the community service assignment's rules, expectations, and parameters. In addition to providing an alternative for students who violate the Code of Student Conduct, performing community-service hours helps educate the students on the value of service.
