DISRUPTION OF SCHOOL 4.20 No student shall by the use of violence, force, noise, coercion, threat, intimidation, fear, passive resistance, or any other conduct, intentionally cause the disruption of any lawful mission process or function of the school, or engage in any such conduct for the purpose of causing disruption or obstruction of any lawful mission, process, or function. Nor shall any student encourage any other student to engage in such activities. Disorderly activities by any student or group of students that adversely affect the school’s orderly educational environment shall not be tolerated at any time on school grounds. Teachers may remove from class and send to the principal or principal’s designee a student whose behavior is so unruly, disruptive, or abusive that it seriously interfered with the teacher’s ability to teach the students, the class, or with the ability of the student’s classmates to learn. Students who refuse to leave the classroom voluntarily will be escorted from the classroom by the school administration. If a student’s behavior is such that he or she must be removed from class the principal may conference with student and/or parent, assign ISS by period or by day(s), assign out-of-school suspension, or the loss of privilege to attend or participate in extracurricular activities.

Legal Reference: A.C.A. § 6-17-106 (a) Date Adopted: 09-11-06; Last Revised: 5/30/15 WEAPONS AND DANGEROUS INSTRUMENTS 4.22 No student shall possess a weapon, display what appears to be a weapon, or threaten to use a weapon while in school, on or about school property, before or after school, in attendance at school or any school sponsored activity, en route to or from school or any school sponsored activity, off the school grounds at any school bus stop, or at any school sponsored activity or event. Military personnel, such as ROTC cadets, acting in the course of their official duties are accepted. A weapon is defined as any firearm, knife, razor, ice pick, dirk, box cutter, numchucks, pepper spray or other noxious spray, explosive, or any other instrument or substance capable of causing bodily harm. For the purposes of this policy, "firearm" means any device designed, made, or adapted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or any device readily convertible to that use.
Possession means having a weapon, as defined in this policy, on the student’s body or in an area under his/her control. If, prior to any questioning or search by any school personnel, a student discovers that he/she has accidentally brought a weapon other than a firearm to school including a weapon other than a firearm that is in a vehicle on school grounds, and the student informs the principal or a staff person immediately, the student will not be considered to be in possession of a weapon unless it is a firearm. The weapon shall be confiscated and held in the office until such time as the student’s parent/legal guardian shall pick up the weapon from the school’s office. Repeated offenses are unacceptable and shall be grounds for disciplinary action against the student as otherwise provided for in this policy. Except as permitted in this policy, students found to be in possession on the school campus of a firearm shall be recommended for expulsion for a period of not less than one year. The superintendent shall have the discretion to modify such expulsion recommendation for a student on a case-by-case basis. Parents or legal guardians of students expelled under this policy shall be given a copy of the current laws regarding the possibility of parental responsibility for allowing a child to possess a firearm on school property. Parents or legal guardians shall sign a statement acknowledging that they have read and understand said laws prior to readmitting the student. Parents or legal guardians of a student enrolling from another school after the expiration of an expulsion period for a firearm policy violation shall also be given a copy of the current laws regarding the possibility of parental responsibility for allowing a child to possess a firearm on school property. The parents or legal guardians shall sign a statement acknowledging that they have read and understand said laws prior to the student being enrolled in school. The mandatory expulsion requirement for possession of a firearm does not apply to a firearm brought to school for the purpose of participating in activities approved and authorized by the district that include the use of firearms. Such activities may include ROTC programs, hunting safety or military education, or before or after-school hunting or rifle clubs. Firearms brought to school for such purposes shall be brought to the school employee designated to receive such firearms. The designated employee shall store the firearms in a secure location until they are removed for use in the approved activity. The district shall report any student who brings a firearm or weapon to school to the criminal justice system or juvenile delinquency system by notifying local law enforcement, Legal References: A.C.A. § 6-18-502 (c)2)(A)(B) A.C.A. § 6-18-507 (e(1)(2)20 USCS§ 7151 A.C.A. § 5-27-206 Date Adopted: 09-11-06; Last Revised: TOBACCO AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS 4.23 Smoking or use of tobacco or products containing tobacco in any form (including, but not limited to, cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, and snuff) in or on any real property owned or leased by Danville Public School , including school buses owned or leased by the school District, is prohibited.

See 4.18.1 Group II Disciplinary Actions Legal Reference: A.C.A. § 6-21-609 Date Adopted: 09-11-06; Last Revised: 5/30/15 DRUGS AND ALCOHOL 4.24 An orderly and safe school environment that is conducive to promoting student achievement requires a student population free from the deleterious effects of alcohol and drugs. Their use is illegal, disruptive to the educational environment, and diminishes the capacity of students to learn and function properly in our schools. Therefore, no student in the Danville School District shall possess, attempt to possess, consume, use, distribute, sell, buy, attempt to buy, attempt to sell, give to any person, or be under the influence of any substance as defined in this policy, or what the student represents or believes to be any substance as defined in this policy.

Danville Public Schools Drug Testing Policy The administration of Danville Public Schools recognizes a responsibility to ensure each student a safe, healthy, and supportive educational environment. Part of the administration’s responsibility is to periodically take necessary precautions which provide for the welfare and safety of our students. Drug use can be detrimental to the physical and mental well being of our student and support personnel. It is our desire to discourage the use of illegal drugs, both on and off campus, and to provide a learning environment that is drug free at every level of the educational process. Danville Public School students are viewed as leaders and role models and, as such, are respected and emulated by other individuals in the Danville community. Leadership brings additional responsibilities. While off campus, students represent the community and depict its character. Therefore, it is expected that individuals at Danville Public Schools exhibit leadership qualities and respectable character while off campus, as well as on campus. Please read the following policy and sign the Drug Testing Policy consent form (which must be signed by parent or legal guardian if the student is under the age of eighteen [18]). If you have any further questions concerning any part of this policy contact Danville Public School Administration at 479-495-4800. Policy Statement Danville Public Schools is conducting a mandatory drug testing program for students in all Activity Programs grades 7-12.

test. It is possible that a student may be chosen more than once by this method. The company will send those numbers to the administration and the test will be given the following day. There will be no notification given to the students, coaches, teachers, or club sponsors before the test. Several drug screening tests may be conducted during the course of the academic year, as determined by the administration of Danville Public Schools. The drug screening test may include, but is not limited to, testing for alcohol, marijuana (THC), cocaine (COC), amphetamines (AMP), benzodiazepines (BZO), ecstasy, methamphetamine (METH), opiates (OPI), phencyclidine (PCP), oxycodone (OXY). The drugs included in the testing procedure may be increased or decreased at the discretion of the administration of Danville Public Schools. A list of the specific drugs tested for in the drug screen is available through the school administration office. Reasonable Suspicion Drug Screening Danville Public Schools reserves the right to test any eligible students for the use of prohibited drugs and controlled substances when actions of said individual students are such to provide reasonable suspicion of the use of prohibited drugs or controlled substances. Any coach, administrator, support staff, or faculty member, may report reasonable suspicion to the administration who will, along with the referring party, decide on the need for drug screening. Reports should be in writing stating the facts, times, dates, and involved parties. Costs Costs associated with the drug screening program will be covered as follows: 1. The initial drug screening cost will be assumed by Danville Public Schools. 2. The cost for a second drug screening of the same specimen, to be used for confirmation of the first “positive” test, will be assumed by the student and/or guardian, unless the second test results are negative in which the cost will be assumed by Danville School District. 3. A challenge by the student of the drug screening, where subsequent drug screening is required by an outside private laboratory, will totally be the responsibility of the student athlete or his/her parent(s) or guardian(s). 4. Any additional testing required or requested will be the responsibility of the students or his/her parent/guardian. Danville Public School Drug Testing Procedure Danville Public Schools will enact a procedure for randomly testing all of its students for the use of illegal drugs and substances. Each student will also be required to sign a Danville Public Schools drug screening consent form. (If the student is under the age of 18, both consent forms must also be signed by a part or guardian). This will allow Danville Public Schools to randomly select students from all of its sponsored events. The number of students tested at a given time will be between 3% and 18% of the total number of eligible students, as determined by the administration of Danville Public Schools. The method of testing will be urinalysis and the urine samples will be collected and tested by means of one-step testing of lateral flow immunoassays (urine in a specimen cup) utilizing generally accepted methods. If the urine cup indicates a positive result, the urine sample will be tested by private laboratory utilizing generally accepted pathological methods. The collection and coding of specimen samples will be executed in a manner to protect confidentiality. Specimen samples will be identified by number only. Prescription or over-the-counter medications shall be disclosed to the District prior to providing a urine sample or on the day of the drug screen procedure. Medications disclosed after the drug screen procedure might require written confirmation from the prescribing physician or pharmacist if requested by the administration. It is recognized that some legal, acceptable medications may result in a “positive” test result and will not be cause to implement any type of disciplinary procedures. The site of the drug test will be determined by the administration. The test will be administered by the school nurse with the help of an LPN, or RN to be determined. These procedures will be decided on by the Danville Public School administration. Once the student has reported and signed in for the sample collection, he/she must remain until an adequate urine sample has been acquired. The results of the drug screening will be reported to the administration. The administration reserves the right to notify the Superintendent, head coach of that sport, or club sponsor, and the student’s parents of the drug screening results. All initial positive tests can be challenged. If the initial test (urine specimen cup) is positive, a second test on the same urine specimen will be done by a laboratory to make sure that no error has occurred. The original sample will be sealed, packaged, and the paperwork will be completed in clear view of the student. The clinic will send the specimen to be analyzed and will return the results to the administration. Students or their parent/guardian are extended the option to obtain an additional confirmation test(s) from their preferred source at their own expense. Such additional confirmation test(s) are considered solely to satisfy parent/guardian concerns and will have no bearing on changing the outcome of the initial “positive” test result. Disciplinary procedures will be administered based on the results of the initial test or the subsequent test conducted by Chambers Memorial Hospital. Student(s) receiving a positive confirmation on the drug test will immediately start the system of counseling, treatment, and drug education outlined in the Danville Public School drug and alcohol policy. Safe Harbor Program (allows for self reporting of substance problem without penalty). A student eligible for the Danville Public Schools Safe Harbor program may refer himself or herself to the Program for voluntary evaluation and counseling. A student is not eligible for the program after he or she has been informed of an impending drug test or after having received a positive Danville Public School drug test. Danville Public Schools will work with the students to prepare a Safe Harbor treatment plan, which may include confidential drug testing. If the students test positive for a banned substance upon entering the Safe Harbor Program, that positive test will not result in any administrative sanction unless the student tests positive in a subsequent retest or the student fails to comply with the treatment plan. A physician may suspend the student from play or practice if medically indicated. A student will be permitted to remain in the Safe Harbor Program for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed thirty days, as determined by the treatment plan. If a student tests positive for any banned substance after entering the Safe Harbor Program or fails to comply with the Safe Harbor treatment plan, the student will be removed from the Safe Harbor Program, the initial Safe Harbor positive test will be treated as a first positive and a subsequent positive as a second positive test which will then be subject to the sanctions explained in this policy. The administration and the students’ head coach and assistant coaches, or club sponsors may be informed of the student’s participation in the Safe Harbor Program. The student’s parents or guardian may also be informed. Other school employees may be informed only to the extent necessary for the implementation of this policy. Yüklə 1,58 Mb. Dostları ilə paylaş:
