IX.e.Reporting Violations #

All students are expected to promptly report violations of the code of conduct to a teacher, school counselor, the building principal or his or her designee or other responsible adult. Any student observing a student possessing a weapon, alcohol or illegal substance on school property or at a school function shall report this information immediately to a teacher, the building principal, the principal’s designee or the superintendent.

All district staff that are authorized to impose misconduct responses are expected to do so in a prompt, fair and lawful manner. District staffs that are not authorized to impose misconduct responses are expected to promptly report violations of the code of conduct to their supervisor, who shall in turn impose an appropriate response, if so authorized, or refer the matter to a staff member who is authorized to impose an appropriate sanction.

Any weapon, alcohol or illegal substance found shall be confiscated immediately, if possible, followed by notification to the parent of the student involved and the appropriate disciplinary sanction if warranted, which may include permanent suspension and referral for prosecution.

The building principal or his or her designee must notify the appropriate local law enforcement agency of those code violations that constitute a crime and substantially affect the order or security of a school as soon as practical, but in no event later than the close of business the day the principal or his or her designee learns of the violation. The notification may be made by telephone, followed by a letter mailed on same day as the telephone call is made. The notification must identify the student and explain the conduct that violated the code of conduct and constituted a crime.
