What this document actually says
This policy establishes professional behavior standards for all Reed Union School District employees. It defines inappropriate conduct including violence, harassment, inappropriate relationships with students, substance use, misuse of confidential information, and inappropriate use of district resources. The policy requires employees to report misconduct they observe and prohibits retaliation against those who report violations. Employees who violate these standards face disciplinary action and potential reports to law enforcement or the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. The policy also mandates that portions addressing adult-student interactions be shared with families annually and posted on district websites. Originally adopted August 16, 2005, last revised November 15, 2022.
