Safe School Plan Continued
Volunteers
Any volunteer working with students outside of the immediate supervision of a certificated staff
member in a school-sponsored student activity program shall obtain an Activity Supervisor Clearance
Certificate or criminal background check in accordance with Board policy. "Student activity
programs" include, but are not limited to: scholastic programs; interscholastic programs; and
extracurricular activities sponsored by the district or a school booster club, such as cheer team, drill
team, dance team, and marching band.
The principal of this school does not assign any person required to register as a sex offender pursuant
to Penal Code 290 as a volunteer in any capacity including as an instructional aide or as a volunteer
nonteaching aide under the direct supervision of a certificated employee. Any person serving as a
volunteer instructional aide or nonteaching volunteer aide is required to certify they are not required to
register as a sex offender pursuant to Penal Code 290.
Unless a person is exempted as indicated below, our school does not allow volunteers to be assigned to
provide supervision or instruction of students unless he/she has submitted evidence of an examination
within the past 60 days to determine that he/she is free of active tuberculosis. Volunteers who skin test
negative shall thereafter be required to take a tuberculosis test every four years in accordance with
Education Code Section 49406. The principal may exempt from tuberculosis testing requirements
those volunteers who serve less than a school year and whose functions do not require frequent or
prolonged contact with students (Education Code Section 49406).
General Student Discipline Plan
Discipline procedures focus on finding the cause of problems and working with all concerned to reach
the proper, effective and lawful solutions. The school’s discipline plan begins at the classroom level.
Teachers use a visible discipline system in each classroom to communicate classroom rules, promote
positive student conduct, and reduce unacceptable conduct. Appropriate consequences are administered
based on the seriousness of the student’s misbehavior.
Our school has adopted the District-wide Student Discipline Code described in board policies and
procedures included with this plan (e.g., School Discipline Rules and Procedures; Schoolwide Dress
Code; Suspension and Expulsion and Due Process). Students may be suspended or recommended for
expulsion after alternative programs have been exhausted or, for certain acts, shall be recommended for
expulsion.
Site administrators contribute to a positive school climate, promote positive student behavior, and help
reduce inappropriate conduct. The principal or a designee uses available District and outside agency
records to inform teachers of each student who has a disciplinary history. The process for “Teacher
Notice of Pupil Disciplinary History,” is standardized and meets the requirements of Education Code
49079.
Law enforcement is contacted and consulted whenever necessary to help maintain and to promote a safe
and orderly school environment. This School’s employees comply with all legal mandates, regulations,
and reporting requirements for all instances of suspected child abuse. In addition to the District’s policy
