Policy 8:30 - Conduct on School Property

The School District expects mutual respect, civility, and orderly conduct among all individuals on school property or at a school event. No person on school property or at a school event shall:

injure, harass, or intimidate a staff member, students, a member of the District's Board of Education, or any other person;
damage or threaten to damage another's property;
damage or deface School District property;
violate any Illinois law or town or county ordinance;
smoke or otherwise use tobacco products;
consume, possess, distribute, or be under the influence of alcoholic beverages or illegal drugs, or possess dangerous devices or weapons;
impede, delay, or otherwise interfere with the orderly conduct of the District's educational program or any other activity occurring on school property;
enter upon any portion of school premises at any time for purposes other than those which are lawful and authorized by the Board of Education;
operate a motor vehicle in a risky manner or in violation of an authorized District employee's directive, or
violate other District policies or regulations, or an authorized District employee's directive. Copies of Board policies are available for inspection in the Board Office.

"School District property" means school buildings, vehicles used for school purposes, and school grounds.
State law prohibits a child sex offender from:

being present in any school building, on school grounds, in any school vehicle, or at school related activity, or
loitering on a public way within 500 feet of school property when persons under the age of 18 are present, unless the offender is a parent/guardian of a student present in the building, on the grounds, or in the vehicle, or unless the offender has permission to be present from the Superintendent or the Board of Education. If permission is granted, the Superintendent or Board President shall provide the details of the offender's upcoming visit to the Building Principal. The Superintendent, or designee who is a certified employee, shall supervise a sex offender whenever the offender is in a child's vicinity.

As circumstances warrant, the District's administrators shall take appropriate action in enforcement of this policy. Violations will be handled as follows:

Anyone observing a student violating this policy shall notify the Building Principal or designee where the student is enrolled and the Principal shall take whatever action which is appropriate under the District's policies for student discipline and any applicable student conduct code.
The supervisor of any employee violating this policy shall take whatever action is appropriate according to personnel rules and bargaining agreements, if any.
Anyone observing a parent/guardian or other person violating this policy shall immediately notify the Building Principal or designee. The Principal or designee will request that the person act civilly or otherwise refrain from the prohibited conduct. If the person persists with uncivil or prohibited behavior, the Principal shall request that the person immediately leave school property and may contact law enforcement authorities, if appropriate.
