| Agenda Title: | First Reading of Selected Board Policies in the 4000 Series - Personnel |
| Background: | Mandated Board Policy 4020 revised to clarify applicability of optional paragraph prohibiting an employee from being under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance while on duty. Policy defines "on duty" to include instructional and noninstructional time in the classroom or workplace, in extracurricular or cocurricular activities, or in transporting and supervising students and exempts an employee's lawful use of prescription drugs from the prohibition.
Updated, reorganized Board Policy BP4119.21/4219.21/4319.21 clarifies expectations for appropriate employee conduct and expands list of prohibited conduct. Material addressing discipline adds the possibility of report to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC) or referral to law enforcement, and provides that an employee who has knowledge of misconduct but fails to report it also may be subject to discipline. |
| Recommendation: | It is recommended that the Board of Education review the proposed changes to selected Board Policies in the 4000 Series, and provide feedback to staff. |
