Students are subject to the jurisdiction of the Frederick County School Board and its agents while in school, while at school-sponsored events, while going to and from school, and while at other places or locations, whether on or off school property, when engaged in conduct that is substantially connected with school or affecting school-related interests. Virginia law has long recognized school officials’ authority to discipline students for misconduct committed away from school property and outside school hours that is detrimental to the interests of the school and adversely affects school discipline or the school environment.
