It defines inappropriate conduct including violence, weapons possession, harassment, child abuse, inappropriate relationships with students, substance use, dishonesty, confidentiality breaches, and misuse of district resources. Employees must report observed misconduct immediately to administration. The policy requires investigations of reported misconduct and outlines disciplinary consequences, including potential reports to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing for certificated staff and law enforcement notification when appropriate. It prohibits retaliation against those who report misconduct. Key sections addressing student interactions must be shared with parents annually and posted on district websites.
