Safe School Plan - William S. Hart Union High School District

NOTIFICATION OF DANGEROUS STUDENT
Per Education Code 48918(k): The governing board shall maintain a record of each expulsion, including the
cause therefore. Records of expulsions shall be a non-privileged, disclosable public record. The expulsion
order and the causes therefore shall be recorded in the pupil’s mandatory interim record and shall be forwarded
to any school in which the pupil subsequently enrolls upon receipt of a request from the admitting school for the
pupil’s school records. To be in compliance with Education Code 49079 and Administrative Regulation
4158(a), the following protocol shall be observed:
In order to enroll at Valencia High School, the parent or legal guardian must complete the Hart District’s
Statement of Expulsion or Not. A sample of this form follows this page. If a student is reported via this form
as being on expulsion—from another district or within our district—the Registrar will inform the
administrators, their assistants, counselors, and the Special Assignment Sheriff’s Deputy.
If it is reported that a student is on probation, the school official learning of this will inform the administrators,
their assistants, counselors, and the Special Assignment Sheriff’s Deputy.
For a student within our district, the SASI files will contain the pertinent information about any student’s
suspension and/or expulsion. If the student is from another district, the pertinent information of a student’s
suspension and/or expulsion will be placed in the student’s SASI discipline file. Regarding a student being on
probation, the name of the probation officer and that officer’s phone number will be placed in the student’s
SASI discipline file and the information will be filed in the student’s discipline hard file. This information will
be available and accessible by all faculty, counselors, and administrators. If a student is designated as at risk of
being dangerous, it will be recorded in SASI page 4 of the STU file as “A” in the “SB1130” field. (See sample
on next page.)
Employees will receive a Confidential Notification to contact an administrator when a student has previously
been suspended or expelled for being in possession of a weapon or for directing a violent act towards an
employee. In order to maintain confidentiality when providing the information about student offenses to
employees, the notification shall not name or otherwise identify the student. An administrator will reveal the
identity of the student directly to employees requesting the information. The notified employees shall be asked
to initial the notification and to return it to the administrator. The employees may choose to review the
student’s file in the administrator’s office. After reviewing the student’s file, the employees shall initial that the
file was reviewed.
Furthermore, the Registrar will notify relevant teachers of a student enrolling in their classes, who is attending
VHS due to a disciplinary IDT or expulsion from another district. The teachers will be informed that detailed
information may be obtained by meeting with an administrator.
An administrator will immediately inform an employee if a threat of potential violence or danger has been made
toward that employee—even if the employee is not aware of the threat. An investigation and validation of the
alleged threat by an administrator will occur within a 48-hour period at the conclusion of which the employee
will be advised of the results.
An employee, who is aware of any threat made by a student, or who is assaulted or battered by a student, shall
report it to an administrator.
