A priority of the PCSD is to maintain the safety of our students and staff. To ensure that safety, the following guidelines are in place:

1. The penalty for any intentional act to cause physical or bodily harm to any school system employee shall be subject to permanent expulsion and referral to Juvenile Court with a request for a petition alleging delinquent behavior.

2. Any student who commits an act of physical violence against a school system employee involving intentional physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature will be disciplined by expulsion, long- term, or short-term suspension.

3. No student shall harass or threaten a school employee. The penalty for violation of this rule is a minimum of ten (10) days out-of-school suspension to a maximum of permanent expulsion.

4. No student shall use abusive language or otherwise display disrespectful conduct toward a school employee (i.e. oral, written, social media, etc.).
