3213 - STUDENT SUPERVISION AND WELFARE
Professional staff members, because of their proximity to students, are frequently confronted with situations which, if handled incorrectly, could result in liability to the District and personal liability to the staff member. It is the intent of the Board of Education to direct the preparation of guidelines that would minimize that possibility.
It is the responsibility of the Superintendent to prepare guidelines to ensure the maintenance of the following standards:
| A. | Each professional staff member must maintain a standard of care for supervision, control, and protection of students commensurate with assigned duties and responsibilities. | |
| B. | A professional staff member should not voluntarily assume responsibility for duties s/he cannot reasonably perform. Such assumption carries the same responsibilities as assigned duties. | |
| C. | A professional staff member must provide proper instruction in the safety matters presented in assigned curriculum guides. | |
| D. | Each professional staff member must immediately report to the principal any accident or a safety hazard s/he detects. | |
| E. | A professional staff member must not send students on any personal errands. | |
| F. | A professional staff member shall not associate with students, particularly those of the opposite sex, at any time in a manner which gives the appearance of impropriety, including, but not limited to, the creation or participation in any situation or activity which could be considered abusive, sexually suggestive, or involve illegal substances such as tobacco, alcohol, or drugs. | |
| This provision should not be construed as precluding a professional staff member from associating with students in private for legitimate or proper reasons. | ||
| G. | A professional staff member must not transport students in a personal vehicle without the approval of the principal. | |
| H. | A student shall not be required to perform work or services that may be detrimental to his/her health. |
Pursuant to the laws of the State, each teacher must report to the proper legal authorities immediately, any sign of suspected child abuse or drug abuse.
