STUDENT DISCIPLINE AND TEACHER PROTECTION A. Since the teacher's authority and effectiveness in his classroom are undermined when students discover that there is insufficient administrative backing and support of the teacher, the Board recognizes its responsibility to give all reasonable support and assistance to teachers with respect to the maintenance of control and discipline in the classroom. The Board further recognizes that the teacher may not fairly be expected to assume the role of warden or custodian for emotionally disturbed students nor to be charged with responsibility for psychotherapy. Whenever it appears that a particular pupil requires the special counselors, social workers, law personnel, physicians and other professional persons, the Board will take reasonable steps to relieve the teacher of responsibility with respect to such pupil. B. A teacher may temporarily exclude a pupil from one class when the grossness of the offense, the persistence of the misbehavior or the disruptive effect of the violation make the continued presence of the student in the classroom intolerable. In such cases, the teacher will furnish the principal, in writing, as promptly as his teaching obligations will allow, full particulars of the incident. C. Suspension of students from school may be imposed only by a principal or his designated representative. School authorities will endeavor to achieve correction of student misbehavior through counseling and interview with the child and his parents when warranted. Transfer of the student to another teacher or other measures, short of suspension, will first be exhausted. When a teacher has one or more pupils in class who constitute serious behavioral problems, appropriate recognition shall be given by way of reduced class size, greater or more frequent relief periods, or additional compensation as agreed between the Board and the Association. D. A teacher may use such force as is necessary to protect himself from attack or to prevent injury to another student. Any case of assault upon a teacher shall be promptly reported to the Board or its designated representative. The Board will provide legal counsel to advise the teacher of his rights and obligations with respect to such assault and shall render all reasonable assistance to the teacher in connection with handling of the incident by law enforcement and judicial authorities. E. If any teacher is complained against or sued as a result of any action taken by the teacher while in pursuit of his employment (action not in violation of Board policy), the Board will provide legal counsel and render all necessary assistance to the teacher in his defense. F. Time lost by a teacher in connection with any incident mentioned in this Article shall not be charged against the teacher. G. No action shall be taken upon any complaint by a parent of a student directed toward a teacher, nor shall any notice thereof be included in said teacher's personnel file unless such matter is promptly reported in writing to the teacher concerned. If any question of professional ethics is involved, the Association shall be notified.
