School Safety. A. The parties recognize that a first priority for DCPS is the safety of DCPS students and staff. The parties further recognize that all school officers and administrators have the right to work in a safe and secure environment. To that end, no school officer or administrator will be required, as a part of their job duties, to intervene physically in physical altercations that they reasonably believe place their own safety at risk.
B. DCPS recognizes that it is its responsibility to provide adequate security for the safety of all students and staff at DCPS facilities, including addressing violent and potentially violent altercations. As such, DCPS shall provide schools with access to private security officers, as funding and MPD capacity allows. Within forty-five (45) days of ratification, the parties will establish a joint task force to address security force staffing, including deployment and scheduling. The task force will convene twice each school year or as needed to address a member's concern that security allocation is insufficient. The task force will consist of the Chancellor or his/her designee, CSO members, and DCPS management.
C. Within ninety (90) days of the ratification of this contract, DCPS shall offer members training on de-escalation techniques and appropriate responses to violent or dangerous situations. Members will not be disciplined for physical intervention which conforms to the training.
D. If a Member physically intervenes in a physical altercation involving DCPS students and/or staff for the purposes of self-defense, the defense of others, the protection of the educational environment, or to regain or maintain order, the Member shall not be subject to adverse employment action unless the Member's actions were excessive given the nature of the threat involved and the availability of alternatives to the Member's actions.
E. Additionally, in order to support the safe and secure environment for students and staff, Principals reserve the right to have anyone escorted from the local school building, if that person is causing a disruption to the school environment. Due to the immediate nature of the security of students and staff, Principals may request that any such escort from the building be conducted by security officers or MPD if necessary and may immediately request that the escorted individual be barred from the school by DCPS. Furthermore, DCPS will commit to provide an expedited review of barring notice requests.
School Safety. At any meeting between a teacher and administrator pertaining to an injury to a teacher, or investigation of alleged injury, the teacher shall have the right for REA union representation at the request of the teacher.
School Safety. Mutual respect and common courtesy are essential qualities needed to promote a positive educational and work environment. Each teacher has the responsibility for developing and implementing a classroom behavior plan based on strong relationships with students that promotes a positive classroom environment, is in accordance with building behavior plans, aligns with Board policy, and complies with appropriate state laws. In the case of a threat to school safety or continued substantial disruption to the learning environment of other students, and in accordance with the District 33 MTSS/behavior management system, the teacher may temporarily remove a student from the classroom in accordance with established procedures in the building. As an alternative to, or in conjunction with any student being removed from a classroom, a teacher may initiate a request for a meeting to review the student’s educational program. This meeting will include the parent/guardian, student, teacher, appropriate support specialist/s, and administrator. This review is not intended to provide an evaluation of the teacher or student but will provide a re-examination of the program structure that is in place and its effectiveness. The Director of Student Services will work with the teacher, building administrator, and relevant student services staff to complete the review and implement recommended actions. Decisions relative to the student’s programming will remain with the administration and will adhere to applicable requirements of the relevant IEP team, district policy, school code, and relevant statute.

School Safety. A. Safety is a shared responsibility. It is the district's responsibility to provide a safe working environment for the staff. If teachers have safety concerns the first step is to resolve it at the site level. The second level of support would be with the district administration. If it cannot be resolved through informal discussion the grievance procedure may be used to resolve the issue.
B. The AVTA will provide two (2) representatives to the district safety committee.
