Students and staff have the right to feel safe and secure in their classrooms and while on school property or at school events. There are certain behaviors that, if tolerated, would quickly destroy the safe learning environment to which students and staff are entitled. These behaviors, categorized as violent and aggressive, will not be tolerated and will result in immediate corrective action. The Superintendent shall develop procedures for the reporting of violent and aggressive behavior to appropriate law enforcement authorities.

 

Violent and aggressive acts include, but are not limited to, possession, threat with or use of a weapon, physical assault, verbal abuse, intimidation, extortion, bullying, gang participation, harassment, stalking; defiance, and racial slurs.
