Common use of School Disturbance Clause in Contracts

School Disturbance. When in the judgment of the teacher the continued presence of a parent or other citizen in the teacher's classroom would create a serious distraction or a disruption of the educational process, the teacher shall report the situation to the principal or superintendent. Upon consultation with the parent or citizen, a determination will be made by the principal or superintendent as to the appropriateness of the continued presence in the classroom. The decision of the principal or superintendent will be final but will not preclude legal action by the employee against the parent or other citizen. South Dakota law makes it a Class 2 misdemeanor to intentionally disrupt the educational process through boisterous conduct, acts of violence, or threatening language or to prevent a teacher or student to perform their duties.
