AN OVERVIEW
In the northwest corner of Westchester County lies the Lakeland Central School District, the largest suburban district in the county. Its borders push into Putnam County, then swing south almost to Peekskill. District students live in six different towns: Yorktown, Cortlandt, and Somers in Westchester County; Carmel, Philipstown, and Putnam Valley in Putnam County.
In 1951, the Shrub Oak, Toddville, and Van Cortlandtville school districts merged. In 1952, the Lakeland School District opened its doors for the first time, serving 1,282 children in small neighborhood schools. Since that time, Lakeland has seen its population rise to a high of more than 8,000 in the 1970s. The student population is expected to be approximately 5,558 in 2021-2022. Lakeland’s five elementary schools educate students in grades K-5. The Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School educates students in grades 6-8. Our 9th through 12th graders attend either Lakeland High School or Walter Panas High School.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING COMPLAINTS
The following procedures, adopted by the Board of Education as part of Policy #1310, are designed to provide parents and other community members with an efficient and effective way of processing and resolving complaints and concerns at the earliest possible stage. The procedures listed below should be followed before an issue is brought before the Board of Education. Complaints and concerns shall be channeled as follows, in the order indicated:
• Teacher: In most cases, a parent should speak with the individual who works most closely with his/her child, usually his/her teacher.
• Guidance Office: At the Middle or High Schools, questions regarding student schedules, counseling, or college applications should first be addressed to the guidance department.
• Principal or Assistant Principal: If an issue is not resolved after speaking with the teacher or guidance counselor, a building administrator should be contacted.
• Transportation Office: If an issue involves transportation matters, such as routing or times, the transportation office should be contacted first, and if not resolved, the Transportation Supervisor should be contacted.
• Director of Facilities: For issues involving transportation, facilities, and food services.
• Central Office Administrators: If an issue is not resolved at the building administrator level, a central office administrator should be contacted as follows:
-Assistant Superintendent for Instruction: For instructional concerns and student discipline.
-Business Manager: For business-based concerns.
-Assistant Superintendent for Human Resources: For personnel issues.
- Assistant Superintendent for Pupil Personnel Services: For special education issues, registration, or residency.

DISTRICT CODE OF CONDUCT
The Lakeland Central School District is committed to maintaining high standards of education for students. Because the District believes that order and discipline are essential to being educated effectively, the District is also committed to creating and maintaining high behavioral standards and expectations. An orderly educational environment requires that everyone in the school community has a role in contributing to an effective environment. It also requires the development and implementation of a code of discipline that clearly defines individual responsibilities, describes unacceptable behavior, and provides for appropriate disciplinary options and responses. The District believes that order and discipline must be a shared responsibility between school, home, and community. This Code of Conduct was developed in collaboration with student, teacher, administrator and parent organizations, school safety personnel and other Board-approved school personnel. A complete copy of the District’s Code of Conduct can be found in any of the District’s schools or on the District’s web site at www.lakelandschools.org

DIGNITY FOR ALL STUDENTS ACT (DASA)
The goal of the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA) is to create a safe and supportive school climate where students can learn and focus, rather than fear being discriminated against and/or verbally and/or physically harassed. All public elementary and secondary school students have the right to attend school in a safe, welcoming, considerate, and caring environment. Every person has a right to his or her own beliefs. Regardless of those beliefs, educators have an obligation to ensure that all students in our schools feel safe, both physically and emotionally. Information and resources (Policy # 5151) can be found on the district web page or by contacting Mel Rafferty, Supervisor of for Alternative Programs at ext. 39119.

A student found guilty of bringing a weapon, as defined above, onto school property or premises or school activity will be subject to a one-year suspension from school. However, the Superintendent of Schools shall review the penalty and may modify the suspension on a case-by-case basis.
