Business and Non-Instructional Operations

 

Disruptions

 

The principal, designee or District security officer may direct an individual to leave District grounds if he or she has a reasonable basis for concluding that the person is committing an act that is likely to interfere with the peaceful conduct of District activities or that the person has entered the campus with the purpose of committing such an act. This shall not apply to students, Governing Board members or employees of the District, or others required by their employment to be on District grounds.

 

When an individual is directed to leave under such circumstances, the principal or designee shall inform the person that he or she will be guilty of a misdemeanor subject to a fine and/or imprisonment if he or she reenters any District facility within 30 days after being directed to leave, or within seven days if the person is a parent or guardian of a student attending school at that site.

 

If an individual refuses to leave upon request or returns before the applicable period of time, the principal or designee shall notify law enforcement.

 

The principal or designee may direct any specified sex offender or drug offender to leave District grounds. This does not apply to a student, parent or guardian of a student attending that school site, or an individual who has obtained prior written permission for entry from the principal or designee. Upon directing the individual to leave, the principal or designee shall inform the person that he or she will be guilty of a crime if he or she reenters the school site within seven days or otherwise establishes a pattern of unauthorized entry.

 

Possession of unauthorized dangerous instruments, weapons or devices is prohibited on District premises, or any public right-of-way immediately adjacent to District property, or any other place where a teacher and student(s) are required to be for assigned school activities.

 

Appeal Procedure

 

Any person who is asked to leave a public school building or grounds may appeal to the Superintendent or designee. This appeal shall be made no later than the second school day after the person has departed from the school building or grounds. The Superintendent or designee shall render his or her decision within 24 hours after the appeal is made, and this decision shall be binding.

 

The decision of the Superintendent or designee may be appealed to the Governing Board. Such an appeal shall be made no later than the second school day after the Superintendent or designee has rendered his or her decision. The Board shall consider and decide the appeal at its next scheduled regular or adjourned regular public meeting. The Board's decision shall be final.
