This school district recognizes that the growth of a student, both academically and personally, reflects not only the educational programs and goals of the district, but also the atmosphere in which the student attends school. To the extent possible, this school district is committed to providing an educational setting where the students feel safe, are challenged to grow academically and personally, are treated with respect by the district personnel and other students, and are disciplined fairly by district personnel.

 

To provide such an educational setting, this board of trustees has adopted policies and procedures, as mandated by the Idaho State Board of Education in the following areas:

 

1.         School Climate

 

2.         Discipline

 

3.         Violence Prevention

 

4.         Student Harassment

 

5.         Student Health

 

6.         Gun-free Schools

 

7.         Substance Abuse‑‑tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs

 

8.         Suicide Prevention

 

9.         Drug-free School Zones

 

10.       Building Safety including Evacuation Drills

 

The board of trustees will review these policies and procedures on an annual basis to determine whether or not they are meeting the needs of the students, school district, and community.

 

The student handbook will inform students and their parent/guardian of the district policies and school rules and regulations regarding school climate as listed above.
