BP 5131.4
Students
Campus
Disturbances
The
Governing Board recognizes that all school staff must be prepared to cope with
campus disturbances and to minimize the risks they entail. Staff should be
especially sensitive to conditions that foster racial conflict, student
protests, or gang intimidation and confrontations.
The
Superintendent or designee shall establish at each school a disturbance
response plan for curbing disruptions which create disorder and may lead to
riots, violence or vandalism at school or school-sponsored events.
The
Superintendent or designee shall consult with law enforcement authorities to
plan for police support during school disruptions. Each school's disturbance
response plan shall address the role of law enforcement. When a disturbance
directly threatens students or staff, the Superintendent or designee has the
authority to call in law enforcement personnel for assistance and may dismiss
school.
Students
who participate in disturbances may be subject to disciplinary action.
