1. Overview: How Disciplinary Measures Are Decided ํ•™๊ตํญ๋ ฅ ์ฒ˜๋ถ„์€ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๊ฒฐ์ •๋˜๋‚˜์š”?

When school violence is confirmed, the case is reviewed by the School Violence Countermeasures Committee (SVCC) โ€” an official body under the local Office of Education. The Committee decides both the type and severity of the disciplinary action by considering factors such as:

  • The seriousness of the act 

  • The offenderโ€™s intent and attitude 

  • The victimโ€™s damage and recovery

  • Previous records or repeated offenses 

The disciplinary measures for school violence are not based purely on a victim/perpetrator structure but are instead determined through a holistic consideration of the individual specifics of the case. Because the final decision involves a detailed assessment that accounts for the unique characteristics of each incident, we highly advise consulting with an expert before you proceed with a response.

3. Effects on Student Records and Future Impact ์ƒํ™œ๊ธฐ๋ก๋ถ€ ๋ฐ˜์˜๊ณผ ์ง„๋กœ ์˜ํ–ฅ

One of the most critical concerns for parents is whether these measures appear on the studentโ€™s School Life Record.

  • No. 1โ€“3: Recorded, but subject to deletion after a certain period (upon fulfilling conditions such as a successf

    ul appeal or completion of guidance programs).

  • No. 4โ€“6: Maintained for a set period and may result in disadvantages when advancing to high school or university.

  • No.  7โ€“9: Substantially impact the student's admission to higher education and future employment.

For international-background families, misunderstandings about these records often arise โ€” for instance, assuming that expulsion (No.9) means permanent exclusion from all schools, which is not always the case.

If a parent disagrees with the Committeeโ€™s decision, they may file an appeal (request for re-examination) within 15 days of receiving the written decision.  Appeals are submitted to the Metropolitan or Provincial Office of Educationโ€™s Review Committee, and later, if necessary, to the Administrative Court.

๐Ÿ“Œ Tip: The appeal should include clear reasoning, supporting documents, and, ideally, a written legal opinion from a qualified attorney.
