Teachers, school bus drivers, and other employees of this Board having authority over students may
take such action as may be necessary to control the disorderly conduct of students in all situations and
in all places where such students are within the jurisdiction of this Board and when such conduct
interferes with the educational program of the schools or threatens the health and safety of others.

Discipline on Board vehicles shall be the responsibility of the driver on regular bus runs. When Board
vehicles are used for field trips and other Board activities, the teacher, coach, advisor, or other Board
employee shall be responsible for student discipline. If a student becomes a serious discipline problem
on a vehicle, the Superintendent and/or his/her designee may suspend the transportation privileges of
the student providing such suspension conforms with due process. The procedures for suspension are
set forth in the Student Code of Conduct/Student Discipline Code and Board Policy 5611 – Due Process

STUDENT VISITORS

Students will not be permitted to bring students from other schools to visit for the day. This applies
to out-of-town guests, friends, relatives, and former students. Guidance will arrange visits for
students transferring from another district. By law, any visitor must report to the main office upon
entering the building. Unauthorized persons (including suspended or expelled students) will be told to
leave and are subject to legal action.

SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS

For students‘ safety and welfare, video surveillance cameras are placed throughout the building and

attempt to damage or interfere with the function of these devices will results in disciplinary action by
the school and possible referral to local law enforcement agencies.
