Hendricks ﬁnds policy unlawful (continued from page 4) the board has broad authority to impose discipline for student conduct that occurs on school grounds or at school events, and she acknowledged there may be occasions when a student’s conduct away from school grounds would necessitate the revocation of his or her ability to participate in extracurricular activities. But she found that the board’s regulation gives the board more authority than is authorized by the state’s administrative code. The commissioner did not address the constitutional arguments described by Judge McGill in his recommendation, but she adopted McGill’s recommendation and found the regulation unlawful. She directed the school board to revise its policy to bring it into compliance with the requirements of the state’s administrative code (N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.1 and N.J.A.C. 6A:16-7.6). In June, Judge McGill recommended that the commissioner of education nullify the regulation based on his finding that the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provided “heightened protection against government interference with certain fundamental rights and liberty interests.” He included in those liberty interests the interest of the parents in the care, custody, and control of their children. McGill’s recommendation was the result of a petition filed by Gregory and Theresa Meese, the parents of a recent Indian Hills High School graduate. The petition asked the commissioner to enjoin the regional district from enforcing the regulation that was approved by the board of education in June 2009. School Board Attorney Stephen Fogarty, filed an appeal of that recommendation, citing several exceptions to it, and that culminated in the recent decision by the commissioner of education. Dr. C. Lauren Schoen, superintendent of the regional district, confirmed that the regulation linked participation in extracurricular activities to students’ compliance with certain behavioral expectations for conduct away from school grounds. She explained that the board’s policy provides for suspension of students from extracurricular activities for set periods of time if the student is arrested or charged by law enforcement and a school administrator subsequently determines that the student’s conduct violated behavioral expectations. She emphasized that among the behavioral expectations put forth by the board are that students respect the rights, person, and property of others, refrain from drug and alcohol abuse, and refrain from committing criminal offenses or juvenile delinquency as defined by law. “The commissioner did not adopt the initial decision of the administrative law judge, which held that the board’s Providing emotional and link between conduct away from school grounds and parspiritual support, professional ticipation in extracurricular activities constituted a violation of constitutionalcounseling and financial and principles concerning parental rights,” material the commissioner declined Schoen said, pointing out thatassistance to New Jersey instead with cancer to address those issues andChildrenheld that the board’s and their families. policy goes beyond the state regulations. eductible our Schoen advised Ythat Dthe school reboardD is currently Tax onwill ns adetermining whether atio be reviewing the decision and to revise its policy in accordance with the commissioner’s directive or whether to appeal the commissioner’s decision to the Appellate Division of Superior Court.
