After School Detention
According to Administrative Regulation 5144(a), a pupil may be detained at school for a reasonable time, but no more than one hour, in addition to the time provided for the maximum school day.
It is our policy at Philadelphia that when a child is detained after school by his teacher in excess of 15 minutes, an attempt will be made to notify the parent.
