PROTECTION OF TEACHERS A. The Board recognizes its responsibility to give reasonable support and assistance to Teachers for the maintenance of control and discipline in the classroom. Each Teacher, however, bears the primary responsibility for maintaining proper control and discipline in the classroom.
B. As permitted by Section 1309 of the Revised School Code, a Teacher may temporarily exclude a student from one (1) class when the nature of the offense, the persistence of the misbehavior, or the disruptive effect of the violation makes the continued presence of the student in the classroom intolerable. In such cases, the Teacher will furnish the Principal with written particulars of the incident as promptly as teaching obligations allow. Upon request of the Principal, the Teacher shall notify the student’s parent of the nature of the offense. If the Principal determines the need for a meeting with the student’s parent, the Teacher shall attend that meeting.
C. The Teachers recognize that all disciplinary actions and methods invoked by them shall be reasonable and just.
D. Any assault or threatened assault upon a Teacher, resulting from his/her position as a Teacher, shall be promptly reported to the Building Principal by the Teacher or representative. The Board shall provide legal counsel, if requested in writing by the Teacher, to advise the Teacher of the Teacher’s rights and obligations as to such assault. The Board will provide reasonable assistance to the Teacher in working with law enforcement and judicial authorities, unless such counsel and assistance are provided through the Association.
E. If a Teacher is complained against or sued as a result of any reasonable action as defined by a court of law and taken by the Teacher while in the scope of his/her employment with the District, the Board shall provide legal counsel and render all reasonable assistance, as appropriate, to the Teacher in his/her defense when requested in writing by the Teacher. This section shall only require the provision of legal counsel and shall not be interpreted to interfere with the Board’s right to exercise supervision and control, including discharge of the Teacher. If a final decision issued by a court or administrative agency indicates the Teacher’s liability for this action, all costs of assistance rendered by the District to the Teacher pursuant to this paragraph and not covered by the District’s insurance carrier, shall be reimbursed by the Teacher.
F. Except for disciplinary suspension or discharge, or for incarceration, any work time lost by a Teacher in connection with an incident identified in Article 9.D, not compensable under Workers’ Compensation, shall not be charged against the Teacher, unless the Teacher is adjudged liable by an agency or court of competent jurisdiction. When Workers’ Compensation is paid, the Board shall pay the difference between that sum and the Teacher’s regular salary, but not to exceed the current year’s contract. No deduction of leave shall be made under these circumstances.
G. In case of an assault by a student(s) on a Teacher acting in the line of duty, or other action taken by or against a Teacher in the line of duty, causing damage to the Teacher’s personal property, including clothing, the Board shall make an equitable financial settlement for such loss with the Teacher involved.
H. Any complaint directed toward a Teacher shall be promptly called to the Teacher’s attention unless otherwise prohibited by law. This requirement shall not prevent the Supervisor from screening out xxxxx gripes.
I. Teachers shall be expected to exercise reasonable care as to the safety of students and property.
