What this document actually says

This policy establishes professional boundaries between all school adults (employees, volunteers, contractors) and students. It prohibits inappropriate conduct including: sexual harassment, romantic relationships, excessive personal contact, private meetings without oversight, personal social media connections, personal gift-giving, unofficial transportation, and sharing personal secrets. The policy requires adults to maintain professional boundaries both at school and outside. Adults must use district technology when communicating with students electronically. Violations must be reported and can result in dismissal or being barred from school grounds. The policy applies to all school-related activities and aims to create a safe learning environment. Parents receive this code of conduct annually, and it's posted on district websites.
