3362.01 - THREATENING BEHAVIOR TOWARD STAFF MEMBERS

The Board believes that a staff member should be able to work in an environment free of threatening speech or actions.

Threatening behavior consisting of any words or deeds that intimidate, or are intended to intimidate, a staff member or are reasonably likely to cause concern for his/her physical and/or psychological well-being is strictly forbidden. Such actions by any student, parent, visitor, staff member, Board member, contractor, or agent of the Board is prohibited, and the Board authorizes appropriate corrective and remedial action including disciplinary action where appropriate, referral to law enforcement, or pursuit of other remedies, including injunctive relief if appropriate. This policy should be read consistent with, and in conjunction with, school safety and the mandatory reporting of threats of violence in Policy 8462.01 - Threats of Violence.

The Superintendent may administer guidelines to implement procedures for complaints and for investigation, as well as resolution of complaints.
