1455 Interference with the Peaceful Conduct of District Activities

The Superintendent or anyone designated by the Superintendent to maintain order in the district shall have the authority and power to direct any person to leave district property who is not a student, officer or employee thereof, and who:

A.      Interferes with the peaceful conduct of activities on district property;

B.      Commits an act that interferes with the peaceful conduct of activities on district property; or

C.      Enters district property for the purpose of committing an act that may interfere with the peaceful conduct of activities on district property.

D.      Should be excluded by school law.

For purposes of this policy, the term “interferes with the peaceful conduct” includes, but is not limited to, actions that directly interfere with classes, study, student or faculty safety; housing or parking areas or extracurricular activities; threatening or stalking any person; damaging or causing waste to any property belonging to another person or the district; or direct interference with administration, maintenance or security of property belonging to the district.

Any person to whom this policy applies, who fails to leave district property as directed or returns within six (6) months thereafter without first obtaining written permission from the Superintendent, may be charged with a misdemeanor.

APPEAL PROCESS

After receiving a directive to leave district property under this policy, the person issued the directive may request reconsideration by taking the following steps:

First Level of Appeal:       The person may request review of the initial decision in writing to the Associate Superintendent. If no written request is received within five (5) calendar days of the person’s receipt of written notification of the directive to leave district property, the directive will be final and nonappealable. If the Associate Superintendent issued the initial directive to leave district property, the person issued the directive may proceed directly to the final level of appeal.

Second Level of Appeal: The person may request review of the Associate Superintendent’s decision in writing to the

Superintendent. The Superintendent’s decision will be final and nonappealable.

The Superintendent or person who issues the verbal directive to leave district property will give the person to whom the directive is issued a copy of this policy as soon as possible. During any appeal process, the person given the directive to leave district property must remain off school property unless the Superintendent, in writing, instructs that the directive is to be stayed pending the appeal process.
