Rules

The Albion District has a strict code system called the "Code of Conduct". Many consequences can take place if these rules are broken. WEBB (We Expect Better Behavior), Detention (which can last until 4:15 P.M) in the middle school, trip to principals, suspension (or possibly be expelled), CR (Correction Room) for the high school. The elementary school does not have detention. WEBB is a common form of punishment in the elementary school after being sent to the office. In the middle school, WEBB is used on its own, currently being run by Mike Jones.
