Discipline Policies

What are discipline policies, and why are they important? Linford provides a robust exploration of this topic by overviewing the need for discipline policies, the role they play in a school, and how they simplify communication and authority structures.

Linford also explores the following questions that come along with forming a discipline policy:

1. How do discipline plans impact enrollment?
2. What is an example of a discipline plan?
3. How effective are various disciplinary measures?
4. How can a school work toward redemptive discipline?
5. How do current trends in discipline play into the formation of a discipline policy?

A clear, flexible discipline policy can be a helpful guide for Christian schools by emphasizing direct communication, structured authority, and practical strategies for misbehavior.

“Discipline Policies” was presented by Linford Horst at CASBI 2025 held at United Christian School in Napanee, Indiana.
