help ensure that the school community is not conduc

ive to fostering harassment in the workplace.

 

In all cases, the Superintendent will inform the B

oard of Education of the results of each

investigation involving a finding that harassment d

id not occur.

 

Knowingly Makes False Accusations

 

Employees and/or students who

knowingly

make false accusations against another individual

as

to allegations of harassment may also face appropri

ate disciplinary action. Because of the damage tha

t

can be done to someone falsely accused, any individ

ual who in bad faith knowingly makes a false

complaint or report of sexual harassment or sex dis

crimination will be subject to disciplinary action

up

to and including termination in accordance with leg

al guidelines, District policy, and any applicable

collective bargaining agreement(s).

 

Development and Dissemination of Administrative Regulations

 

Regulations will be developed for reporting, inves

tigating, and remedying allegations of

harassment based on the characteristics described a

bove. An appeal procedure will also be provided to

 

address any unresolved complaints and/or unsatisfac

tory prior determinations by the applicable

complaint officer(s). Such regulations will be dev

eloped in accordance with federal and state law as

well as any applicable collective bargaining agreem

ent(s).

 

The Superintendent/designee(s) will affirmatively

discuss the topic of harassment with all

employees and students, express the District's cond

emnation of such conduct, and explain the

sanctions for such harassment. Appropriate trainin

g and/or "awareness" programs will be established

for staff and students to help ensure knowledge of

and familiarity with the issues pertaining to

harassment in the schools, and to disseminate preve

ntative measures to help reduce such incidents of

prohibited conduct. Furthermore, special training

will be provided for designated supervisors and

managerial employees, as may be necessary, for the

investigation of harassment complaints.

SUBJECT: DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING FOR EMPLOYEES WITH CDL LICENSES

(Cont'd.)

 

 

 

Follow-up alcohol and/or controlled substances tes

ting will be unannounced. The frequency of

such follow-up testing will be directed by a substa

nce abuse professional and consist of at least six

(6)

tests in the first twelve months following the driv

er's return to duty. Follow-up testing may take pl

ace

up to sixty (60) months after the driver returns to

duty.

 

Methods of Testing

 

 

Alcohol Testing: Alcohol testing is performed by

a certified Breath Alcohol Technical ("BAT")

at a location where no one except the BAT and the d

river can see or hear the test results. An

evidential breath testing device ("EBT") approved b

y the National Highway Traffic Safety

Administration will be used. The BAT will require

the driver to provide positive identification (such

 

as a photo I.D. card or identification by a Distric

t representative) and then explain the testing

procedure to the driver. After the driver has comp

leted the test, the BAT must show the driver the te

st

results.

 

If the screening test indicates a breath alcohol c

oncentration of less than 0.02, the driver has

passed the test and must sign the certification and

fill in the date on the test form. If the test re

sult is

0.02 or over, a confirmation test must be performed

. The BAT will instruct the driver how to proceed.

  

If the screening and confirmation test results are

not identical, the confirmation test result is

considered the final result. If the confirmation t

est is 0.02 or over, the driver has failed the test

.

 

Controlled Substances Testing

 

 

The District must test drivers for marijuana, coca

ine, opiates, amphetamines and phencyclidine

(PCP). Testing is accomplished by analyzing a urin

e sample provided by the driver. The testing is

performed in private at designated testing location

s. The collected urine specimen is divided into on

e

"primary" specimen and one "split" specimen. Both

specimens are then sent to a certified testing

laboratory. The primary specimen is tested for dru

gs. If the test is positive, a confirmation test u

sing

gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry technique must

be performed to ensure that over-the-counter

drugs are not reported as positive.

 

If there is a confirmed positive test result, the

Medical Review Officer (MRO) will contract the

driver before any test result is reported to the Di

strict. The MRO is a licensed physician with

knowledge of substance abuse disorders. The MRO wi

ll review the chain of custody and contact the

driver to determine whether there may be an alterna

te medical explanation for any positive test result

.

If requested, the MRO will authorize an reanalysis

of the original sample if requested to do so by the

 

driver within seventy-two (72) hours after the driv

er receives actual notice of a positive test result

. If

the retest is negative, the MRO will cancel the tes

t result. Any retest will be performed at a differ

ent

Department of Health and Human Services certified l

aboratory. This process is used to safeguard the

validity of the test results and to ensure that tho

SUBJECT: STAFF USE OF COMPUTERIZED INFORMATION RESOURCES

 

 

 

The Board of Education will provide staff with acce

ss to various computerized information

resources through the District's computer system (D

CS hereafter) consisting of software, hardware,

computer networks and electronic communication syst

ems. This may include access to electronic

mail, so-called "on-line services" and the "Interne

t." It may also include the opportunity for some s

taff

to have independent access to the DCS from their ho

me or other remote locations. All use of the DCS,

including independent use off school premises, shal

l be subject to this policy and accompanying

regulations.

 

The Board encourages staff to make use of the DCS t

o explore educational topics, conduct

research and contact others in the educational worl

d. The Board anticipates that staff access to vari

ous

computerized information resources will both expedi

te and enhance the performance of tasks

associated with their positions and assignments. T

oward that end, the Board directs the

Superintendent or his/her designee(s) to provide st

aff with training in the proper and effective use o

f

the DCS.

 

Staff use of the DCS is conditioned upon written ag

reement by the staff member that use of the

DCS will conform to the requirements of this policy

and any regulations adopted to ensure acceptable

use of the DCS. All such agreements shall be kept o

n file in the District office.

 

Generally, the same standards of acceptable staff c

onduct which apply to any aspect of job

performance shall apply to use of the DCS. Employee

s are expected to communicate in a professional

manner consistent with applicable District policies

and regulations governing the behavior of school

staff. Electronic mail and tele-communications are

not to be utilized to share confidential informatio

n

about students or other employees.

 

This policy does not attempt to articulate all requ

ired and/or acceptable uses of the DCS; nor is it

the intention of this policy to define all inapprop

riate usage. Administrative regulations will furth

er

define general guidelines of appropriate staff cond

uct and use as well as proscribed behavior.

 

District staff shall also adhere to the laws, polic

ies and rules governing computers including, but

not limited to, copyright laws, rights of software

publishers, license agreements, and rights of priva

cy

created by federal and state law.

 

Staff members who engage in unacceptable use may lo

se access to the DCS and may be subject

to further discipline under the law and in accordan

ce with applicable collective bargaining agreements

.

Legal action may be initiated against a staff membe

r who willfully, maliciously or unlawfully

damages or destroys property of the District.

District Procedures

 

 

In grades where no state assessments are given, st

udents will be eligible for AIS if they are

determined to be at risk of not meeting State stand

ards, according to the second level criteria indica

ted

above. The district procedure will always be used w

hen a student is absent for all or part of a state

assessment, or when a student transfers from out-of

-state or the country.

 

Exit Criteria

 

 

Students may exit AIS services when they receive a

3 or 4 on a New York State assessment

and/or if they meet second level criteria which ind

icates that they are no longer at risk of not meeti

ng

State standards.

 

Each student's records will be reviewed and discus

sed by his/her AIS provider and the classroom

teacher(s) each semester to determine whether a stu

dent will remain in AIS. Recommendations for the

following year should be made by April, so scheduli

ng can occur. A Needs Assessment (see Appendix

A) should be completed for each student discussed.

This will act as a formal record for placement.

Copies of the Needs Assessment should be distribute

d to:

 

a) The Principal;

 

b) The Guidance Office;

 

c) The Director of Curriculum and Instruction; and

 

 

d) Title I Math and Reading Teachers.

 

Types of AIS Services That May be Provided

 

 

The Keshequa School District will provide AIS in a

reas of academic instruction and support

services. Decisions related to the frequency and in

tensity of service will be made by collaboration

between the Principal, Director of Curriculum and I

nstruction, classroom teachers, remedial teachers,

and/or counselors based upon individual student nee

ds. All students are eligible for AIS, including

those with disabilities and/or limited proficiency

if they fail to meet the designated State performan

ce

standards or district-approved criteria levels. Add

itionally, Limited English Proficient (LEP)/English

Language Learner (ELL) students who do not achieve

the annual designated performance standards as

stipulated in CR Part 154 are eligible for AIS.

 

The general plan is intended to describe services

for students in the District in grades K-12. The

District will review individual building needs each

SUBJECT: CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, RESOURCES AND EVALUATION

 

 

 

Public education must respond to the changes in co

ntemporary life. The Board thus encourages

continual review and evaluation of existing program

s and practices in the School District. As an

outgrowth of this District-wide process, the Board

will seek changes it deems advantageous in more

effectively meeting the needs of students and the e

xpectations of the community.

 

It shall be the building principal's responsibilit

y, in combination with the teaching staff, to

develop the written curriculum, with review and app

roval of the Superintendent and makes a

recommendation to the Board of Education for approv

al.

 

The Superintendent will be responsible for providi

ng to the Board regular reports on District

programs and ongoing curriculum study and revision.

 

 

Curriculum Resources

 

 

There are many resources for curriculum developmen

t that exist in our School District, and the

instructional staff, under the guidance of the admi

nistration, is expected to delve into those resourc

es

for possible improvement of the instructional progr

am. Each teacher has the privilege of being an

initiator of improvement, as well as a reactor to c

hanging conditions, and the principals shall be

involved in curriculum development.

 

The Superintendent may appoint curriculum study co

mmittees, and their findings, as well as the

collective judgments of the staff about the pertine

nce of various possible changes, shall be submitted

 

by the Superintendent to the Board of Education for

consideration in the forming of curriculum policy.

 

 

Curriculum Evaluation

  

 

The Board of Education shall direct a continuing e

valuation of the curriculum as part of a

program of instructional improvement.

 

All aspects of the curriculum shall be subjected t

o a searching and critical analysis in an attempt

to improve the learning and growth of students.

 

The administrative staff shall evaluate the curric

ulum in a systematic manner, involving school

personnel and others as appropriate.

 

The administrative staff shall make periodic recom

mendations for action by the Board. The

Board of Education from time to time may invite tea

chers or others to discuss the curriculum.
