4362.01 - THREATENING AND/OR INTIMIDATING BEHAVIOR TOWARD STAFF MEMBERS
The School Board believes that a staff member should be able to work in an environment free of threatening or intimidating speech or actions.
Threatening behavior consisting of any words or deeds that intimidate a staff member or cause anxiety concerning their physical well-being is strictly forbidden. Any threat to a member of the staff made by a student, parent, visitor, staff member, or agent of this Board shall be reported to the principal, and the individual making the threat may be subject to discipline to further action.
State law requires that any individual who has reason to believe that a school employee:
- has received a threat;
- is the victim of intimidation;
- is the victim of battery; or
- is the victim of harassment
by any individual immediately notify the principal, and the principal shall immediately make an oral report to the local law enforcement agency.
Harassment based on a protected class shall be investigated under Policy 2266 - Nondiscrimination on the Basis of Sex Education Programs or Activities or Policy 4362 - Anti-Harassment, as applicable. Related policies can be found at Policy 4362 - Anti-Harassment, Policy 4362 - Anti-Harassment, and Policy 5517 - Anti-Harassment.
The Superintendent shall implement guidelines whereby students and employees understand this policy and appropriate procedures are established for prompt and effective action on any reported incidents.
