Write a student conduct decision letter that follows due process
Drafts a clear, fair discipline decision letter with findings, policy basis, sanction, and appeal rights.
The prompt
Help me write a student conduct decision letter.
Setting: [K-12 or college]
Alleged violation and code section: [POLICY TEXT]
Facts gathered: [EVIDENCE, statements, dates]
Student's account: [WHAT THEY SAID, and when they were given the chance to respond]
Standard of evidence: [e.g. "preponderance of the evidence"]
Decision and sanction: [DETAILS]
Special status: [e.g. student has an IEP or 504 plan, is an athlete, is under 18]
Before drafting, check:
1. Notice: was the student told the charge and the evidence before the decision?
2. Opportunity to respond: was it real and documented?
3. Findings: does each finding tie to evidence and the stated standard?
4. Proportionality: is the sanction consistent with policy and past similar cases?
5. Disability: if the student has an IEP or 504 plan and removal exceeds 10 school days, flag the need for a manifestation determination review.
6. Title IX: if the conduct may be sex-based harassment, flag that a separate process may apply.
Then draft the letter: the charge, a summary of the process, findings of fact, the policy violated, the sanction and its effective dates, supports offered, and appeal rights with the deadline and how to file.
Tone: respectful and factual, no character judgments. Protect other students' privacy. This is general information, not legal advice; have counsel or your conduct officer review before sending.
