Transportation (continued) • Towing of the vehicle: Vehicles that are parked in such a manner as to hinder the flow of traffic, vehicles parked in an unauthorized space, or vehicles which have received excessive violations or violations that the TISD Police may deem as hazardous may be towed and impounded at the expense of the owner/violator. School disciplinary measures may not be substituted for expenses resulting in the towing of a violator’s vehicle. • School Discipline such as Detention, ISS, etc. Visitor Parking: A visitor is defined as a person who is neither a student nor an employee of the District. Certain areas of the campuses have been reserved for visitor parking and are identified by signs. Visitors to the campus should park in the designated visitor parking only. Under no circumstances are students or employees to park in the visitor parking areas. When groups of visitors are involved, arrangements must be made with the principal or the Chief of Police. B-21
Law Enforcement Issues Police Intervention: Certain situations/violations are likely to result in the police being called. When this occurs, parents will be informed as soon as possible. The following situations/violations are likely to result in police intervention: • Theft (dollar value usually determines seriousness) • Physical assaults • Fire, explosives, and weapons violations • Criminal mischief or vandalism • Drug and alcohol violations • Disorderly conduct (i.e. offensive language, fighting, etc.) • Other appropriate investigations Disruptions: In order to ensure student safety and sustain an educational program free from disruption, state law permits the District to take action against any person--student or non-student--who: • Interferes with the movement of people in an exit, an entrance, or a hallway of a District building without authorization from an administrator. • Interferes with an authorized activity by seizing control of all or part of a building. • Uses force, violence, or threats in an attempt to prevent participation in an authorized assembly. • Uses force, violence, or threats to cause disruption during an assembly. • Interferes with the movement of people at an exit or an entrance to District property. • Uses force, violence, or threats in an attempt to prevent people from entering or leaving District property without authorization from an administrator. • Disrupts classes while on District property or on public property that is within 500 feet of District property. Class disruption includes making loud noises; trying to entice a student away from, or to prevent a student from attending, a required class or activity; entering a classroom without authorization and disrupting the activity with profane language or any misconduct. • Interferes with the transportation of students in District vehicles. Alcohol, Drugs, Tobacco, and Weapons: Under state and federal law, a student is not allowed to possess, sell, give away, or use alcohol, illegal drugs, tobacco products, guns, or other weapons on school property or at a schoolrelated or school-sanctioned activity, on or off school property. Having one of these items in a privately owned vehicle that the student may have driven to school and parked on District property is also prohibited. A more detailed description concerning discipline may be found in the Student Code of Conduct. Questioning Students at School: School officials have the right to question a student about his or her own conduct at school and, in the investigation of alleged misconduct by other students, to question him or her about the conduct of others. The school expects students to cooperate in this process, and the refusal to cooperate will be treated as a serious conduct violation. The school will not ordinarily contact the parent before questioning a student about his or her own conduct or about the conduct of other students, but school personnel will contact the parent promptly if the investigation shows that the student has violated school conduct rules. The Code of Conduct provides a complete explanation of the discipline processes and an explanation of when a parent will be contacted. The investigation of possible violations of the Code of Conduct is not a criminal proceeding. The option of “taking the Fifth” (or a student’s right not to incriminate himself or herself) does not apply in a school discipline investigation. Sometimes law enforcement officials or investigators from Child Protective Services (CPS) ask to interview students at school. In the case of an investigator from Child Protective Services conducting a child abuse or neglect investigation, the District is required by state law to permit the investigator to talk to the child at school. The District also will make every effort to cooperate with law enforcement officials conducting an investigation that requires talking to students. B-22
