Safe and Orderly Learning Environment
Contacts with Staff
The learning environment and the staff's time for students will be free from interruption. Except in emergencies, staff will not be interrupted in their work. Brief messages will be recorded so as to permit the staff member to return the call when free.
Certificated staff will be available for consultation with students and community members. Students and community members are urged to make appointments with staff to assure an uninterrupted conference.
No one will solicit funds or conduct private business with staff on school time and premises.
Visitors
The board welcomes and encourages visits to school by parents/guardians, community members, and interested educators. The superintendent will establish guidelines governing school visits to ensure orderly operation of the educational process and the safety of students and staff.
Disruption of School Operations
The superintendent or staff member in charge will direct a person to leave immediately if any person is:
- Under the influence of controlled substances, including marijuana (cannabis);
- Is disrupting or obstructing any school program, activity, or meeting;
- Threatens to do so or is committing, threatening to imminently commit; or
- Inciting another to imminently commit any act which would disturb or interfere with or obstruct any lawful task, function, process or procedure (of any student, official, classified or certificated staff member or invitee) of the school district.
If such a person refuses to leave, the superintendent or staff member will immediately call for the assistance of a law enforcement officer.
