What this document actually says
This draft policy establishes clear professional boundaries between all school adults (employees, volunteers, contractors, interns) and students. It prohibits inappropriate conduct including physical contact, romantic/sexual relationships, unsupervised one-on-one meetings, personal social media connections, gift-giving, personal transportation of students, and communications outside official channels. The policy requires staff to use district technology when communicating with students and prohibits using apps that delete message history. Violations must be reported and can result in dismissal and law enforcement notification. The employee code of conduct must be shared with parents annually and posted on district websites per Education Code 44050.
What this means for your family
This policy protects students by establishing clear rules for how staff interact with children at school and online. Parents will receive the employee code of conduct each year. Staff must use official school communication channels rather than personal phones or social media. If families observe concerning staff behavior, they can report it knowing the district has specific policies requiring investigation and action.
