Any teacher who is of an incident in which a person is believed to have committed an act that if committed by an adult would be first, second or third degree assault, sexual assault or deviate sexual assault against a student or school employee, while on school property, buses or at school activities shall immediately report such incident to the principal. The teacher shall also inform the principal if a student is discovered to possess a controlled substance or weapon in violation of the district’s policy. Confidentiality Any information received by a school district employee relating to the conduct of a student shall be received in confidence and used for the limited purpose of assuring that good order and discipline is maintained in the schools. Reporting Abuse/Neglect The Board of Education requires its staff members to comply with the state child abuse and neglect laws and the mandatory reporting of suspected neglect and/or abuse. Any school official or employee acting in his or her official capacity who knows or has reasonable cause to suspect that a child has been subjected to abuse or neglect, or who observes the child being subjected to conditions or circumstances which would reasonably result in abuse or neglect, will immediately report or cause a report to be made to the building principal, or his or her designee, including any report of excessive absences that may indicate educational neglect. The principal or designee will then become responsible for making a report via the Child Abuse Hotline to CD, as required by law. This policy does not preclude any employee from directly reporting abuse or neglect to CD. However, the school official or employee must notify the building principal or designee immediately after making a report.
