Personnel – Certified/Non-Certified

Staff/Student Non-Fraternization

The Board of Education requires all employees to conduct themselves in a manner which will maintain the authority and respect necessary in the educational setting. Therefore, any dating relationships or other social relationships which may reasonably be perceived to be dating between any staff member and any student of this school district is expressly prohibited. Employees shall not entertain students or socialize with students in such a manner as to reasonably create to students, parents, or the public that a dating relationship exists. While the Board encourages employees to be supportive of students, personnel may not engage in actions that might lead students to regard them as peers.
