ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY

Batavia High School believes that learning best occurs in an atmosphere of academic honesty in which students have developed a high sense of responsibility and exhibit a high standard of integrity. Batavia High School will not tolerate nor condone academic dishonesty.

Definition of Cheating/Academic Dishonesty – Cheating occurs when a student obtains or assists others in obtaining credit for work that is not his/her own.

After a student has been found to be academically dishonest, they will face both academic and behavioral interventions.
