Anti-Harassment Policy

 

Section 1.  Harassment, Violence, and Threats of Violence Prohibited

 

The Baldwin County Public School System is committed to providing a safe and supportive learning environment in which all members of the school community are treated with respect.  Harassment, violence, and threats of violence are prohibited and constitute unacceptable behavior that will not be tolerated.

 

Baldwin County Public Schools do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, sex, religion, national origin, or age in its programs, activities, or employment and provide equal access to the Boy Scouts and other designated youth groups.

 

 

No student shall engage in or be subjected to harassment, violence, threats of violence, or intimidation by any other student that is based on any of the specific characteristics that have been identified by the Board in this policy.  Students who violate this policy will be subject to disciplinary sanctions. 

 

Section 2.  Definitions

 

1. The term harassment as used in this policy means a continuous pattern of intentional behavior that takes place on school property, on a school bus, or at a school-sponsored function including, but not limited to, written, electronic, verbal, or physical acts that are reasonably perceived as being motivated by any characteristic of a student, or by the association of a student with an individual who has a particular characteristic, if the characteristic falls into one of the categories of personal characteristics set forth in Section 3(b) below.  To constitute harassment, a pattern of behavior may do any of the following: 

 

• Place a student in reasonable fear of harm to his or her person or damage to his or her property.

 

• Have the effect of substantially interfering with the educational performance, opportunities, or benefits of a student.

 

• Have the effect of substantially disrupting or interfering with the orderly operation of the school.

 

• Have the effect of creating a hostile environment in the school, on school property, on a school bus, or at a school-sponsored function.

 

• Have the effect of being sufficiently severe, persistent, or pervasive enough to create an intimidating, threatening, or abusive educational environment for a student.

 

1. The term violence as used in this policy means the infliction of physical force by a student with the intent to cause injury to another student or damage to the property of another student.

 

1. The term threat of violence as used in this policy means an expression of intention to inflict injury or damage that is made by a student and directed to another student. 

 

1. The term intimidation as used in this policy means a threat or other action that is intended to cause fear or apprehension in a student, especially for the purpose of coercing or deterring the student from participating in or taking advantage of any school program, benefit, activity, or opportunity for which the student is or would be eligible. 

 

1. The term hostile environment as used in this policy means the perception by an affected student or victim that the conduct of another student constitutes a threat of violence or harassment, and that the conduct is objectively severe or pervasive enough that a reasonable person would agree that the conduct constitutes harassment, threat of assault, or assault. 

 

1. The term student as used in this policy means a student who is enrolled in the Baldwin County Public School System. 

 

Section 3.  Description of Behavior Expected of Students

 

1.

1. Violence, threats of violence, harassment, and intimidation are prohibited and will be subject to disciplinary consequences and sanctions if the perpetrator of such action is found to have based the prohibited action on one or more of the following personal characteristics of the victim of such conduct:

• The student’s sex;

 

• The student’s religion;

 

• The student’s national origin;

Punishment shall conform with applicable federal and state disability, anti-discrimination, and education laws and school discipline policies. 

 

 

Section 5.  Reporting, Investigation, and Complaint Resolution Procedures

 

1. Complaints alleging violations of this policy must be made on Board approved complaint forms available at the principal and/or counselor’s office and also located on our school system’s website.  The complaint must be signed by the student alleging the violation or by the student’s parent or legal guardian and delivered to the principal or the principal’s designee either by mail or personal delivery.  (The complaint can not be written by an education employee on behalf of an affected student or his or her parent or guardian.)  At the request of the complaining student or the student’s parent or legal guardian, incidental or minor violations of this policy may be presented and resolved informally. 

 

1. Upon receipt of the complaint, the principal or the principal’s designee will, in their sole discretion, determine if the complaint alleges a serious violation of this policy.  If the principal or the principal’s designee determines that the complaint alleges a serious violation, the principal or the principal’s designee will undertake a thorough and complete investigation of the complaint.  The investigation will entail the gathering of relevant facts and evidence and will be conducted in a reasonably prompt time period taking into account the circumstances of the complaint.  If the investigation establishes a violation, appropriate disciplinary sanctions will be imposed on the offending student(s).  Other measures that are reasonably calculated to prevent a recurrence of the violation(s) may also be imposed by the principal or the school system. 

 

1. Acts of reprisal or retaliation against any student who has reported a violation of this policy or sought relief provided by this policy are prohibited, and are themselves a violation of this policy.  Any confirmed acts of reprisal or retaliation will be subject to disciplinary sanctions that may include any sanction, penalty, or consequence that is available to school officials under the Student Code of Conduct.  A student who personally or through his/her parents deliberately, recklessly, and falsely accuses another student of a violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary sanctions as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct. 

 

1. Referrals can also be made by parents or guardians to law enforcement and other agencies, even if insufficient to warrant a charge.

 

1. If a threat of suicide is reported, the principal or the principal’s designee will inform the student’s parent or guardian of the report. 

 

Section 6.  Promulgation of Policy and Related Procedures, Rules, and Forms

 

This policy and any procedures, rules, and forms developed and approved to implement this policy will be published, disseminated, and made available to students, parents and legal guardians, and employees by such means and methods as are customarily used for such purposes, including publication on the Baldwin County Public School System’s website.  This policy also applies to students’ participation in school-sponsored functions. 

 

 

 

SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION

South Baldwin Center for Technology follows the same policies and procedures enacted by the Baldwin County Board of Education and the State of Alabama in regards to discipline of students.

 

 

All polices, procedures and guidelines set forth in the STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT  Handbook apply to South Baldwin Center for Technology.

 

SELECTION OF COURSES

SBCT has made every effort to place you in the course which you requested and the one for which you seem best suited. If it is necessary to request a change, you must see the principal or his designee within the first week of school.  Each request will be considered on an individual basis.

 

JOB PLACEMENT

If you desire, we will assist you in finding a job after graduation provided you merit our recommendation. We will not misrepresent your ability or lack of ability in order to help place you on a job. Your instructor is acquainted with the jobs in your chosen field.

 

 

ATTENDANCE AND ABSENCE PROCEDURES

      

       Attendance Policy

Baldwin County Board of Education

 

South Baldwin Center for Technology operates under the block schedule for class schedules and awarding of credits.   Therefore, the following attendance policy is followed:

For students in a semester-long class

In grades 9-12, a student may not exceed five (5) unexcused absences per class in a semester-long class.  If a student misses more than half of a class period, a full absence will be accumulated.  The student will lose credit for any class in which the unexcused absences exceed five (5) per class.  The student can make-up up to two (2) unexcused absences by attending Academic Saturday School before the end of the semester. 

A student and a student’s parent or guardian will receive written notice when a student’s unexcused absences exceed two (2) days in any class.  When the student exceeds three (3) unexcused absences per class, the student and parent/guardian can petition the Attendance Committee at the school for review of the reasons for absences.  Petition for review by the Attendance Committee can be filled out at any time after notification, but in any event, no later than 20 calendar days before the final day of the semester.  The Attendance Committee shall review the student’s entire attendance record and documented excuses to determine whether to award credit.

 

 

 

SAFETY AND INSURANCE

Each student should buy the school insurance which is offered at each parent school at the beginning of the school year or be covered by an adequate home policy. Safety precautions must be observed in all departments. There are many hazards in a shop--even though it has been made as safe as possible. Students and/or parents are responsible for all expenses/costs related to injuries.

 

 

THE FOLLOWING RULES SHALL BE OBSERVED IN EACH DEPARTMENT:

 

1. Hair shall be managed in such a way so that it will not create a safety hazard around tools and equipment. Hair color or style that creates a disturbance will not be acceptable. Caps may be worn in shops only. Keep in mind that one of the goals of career and technical education is to prepare you for entering the workforce.

 

1. Students are asked to keep work clothes at school. Lockers are available for storing clothing and other school items. Shop clothes, including helmets, gloves, safety glasses, and hats are not to be worn to or from the base schools. These items are to be kept in your shop locker. Clothes may be taken home to be cleaned.

 

Flip flops and open toed shoes are not permitted in the shop settings and other departments as they do not meet safety and/or health guidelines.

 

1. School approved eye protection will be worn in each of the shops when doing any type of work which endangers eyesight. Examples include: drilling, sawing, servicing, soldering, grinding, cutting and others.

 

 

 

 

Dress Code-see below

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Internet Access and Policies:  Our school adheres to the Acceptable Use and Internet Safety Policy (AUP) prescribed by the Baldwin County Board of Education (BCBE).  This policy is available for review from the BCBE website (www.bcbe.org) in the “District Policies and Documents” section (or enter AUP in the “Search” field).  A hardcopy may also be sent home at the beginning of each school year for all parents and students to review.

 

Please note that every student is assumed to have permission to use Internet resources.  Should a parent/guardian desire his/her child not have access to Internet resources, the parent/guardian must complete a request for alternative activities.  This request form must be submitted to the school office and is available on the BCBE website (www.bcbe.org, type Alternative Activities in the “Search” field).

 

Students who do not follow the AUP’s guidelines while using any school computer may have their Internet privileges revoked for the remainder of the year in addition to other more serious consequences. 

 

Website:  Our official school website (www.sbctschool.com) is a subset of the Baldwin County Board of Education website (www.bcbe.org).  As such, it adheres to the policies of BCBE.  One such policy pertains to posting student photos or student work on the school website.  Please review and complete the “Internet Publishing Guidelines and Permission Form” distributed by the school or available for download from the BCBE website (www.bcbe.org, enter Internet Publishing in the “Search” field). 

 

 

Policies and Procedures

Transportation

Buses are provided to and from SBCT free of charge from each of the base schools. With principal PRIOR APPROVALl, students may be able to drive their personal vehicle to SBCT .  In order to do this, the student must gain permission from the principal at SBCT and must complete all forms prior to driving to SBCT.  This is a privilege and once obtained, this privilege may be revoked at anytime by the base school or SBCT for failure to abide by all rules and policies. A parking permit charge ($10.00) will be accessed for each driver.

On occasion, it may be necessary for a student to bring his or her vehicle to the school for check out purposes or to have work performed in one of the shop settings.  Student’s must have permission from SBCT prior to driving their vehicle.  When permission is granted, only the driver of the vehicle is allowed to ride in the vehicle.  No other passengers are allowed.  Violation of the drive policy will result in the loss of the privilege for the remainder of the semester for all parties involved.  Other discipline will be issued as deemed necessary.

Missing the bus to SBCT will be considered an unexcused absence.

 

BOOKBAGS & BACKPACKS

School issued backpacks will be allowed on campus at SBCT.  Students are responsible for keeping up with their backpacks and Mac Book computers.  ALL backpacks are property of Baldwin County Board of Education and subject to search and seizure.

Infractions will result in suspension or other appropriate disciplinary action.

 

VISITORS ON CAMPUS

All visitors to the school must report to the office first.   This is required by school board policy.  Visitors are not allowed during class time.  Students’ friends are not allowed to visit them on campus.

 

BREAK

Break is a privilege for our students to enjoy time with their classmates and to purchase a snack if desired.  Breaks are between 1^st and 2^nd block and 3^rd and 4^th block.

During break the following rules are to be observed:

1. All students are required to stay in the breezeway area, and in the north half of the horseshoe drive area. Do not go below the last bench.
2. Please return to class promptly when break is over.  Anyone not in their class when the tardy bell sounds, may lose their break the following day.
3. Supervision is always available during break time.   If you have any problems you should seek assistance immediately.
4. All classrooms and buildings are to be locked during break.   Instructors will discuss restroom procedures with their respective classes.

 

SNACK BAR OPERATIONS

The snack bar will be open daily during morning and afternoon break periods.  Various snacks and drinks will be available. Beginning with the 2006-2007 school year, all snacks offered to students must follow the child nutrition guidelines.   We have no flexibility on this matter and must offer those items that follow these guidelines.

 In order to provide prompt service, we ask that the following rules be observed when making a purchase from the store.

1. Students “cutting in line” will be sent to the end of the line or may be refused service all together.  Cutting in line includes asking friends in the front of a line to make a purchase for you.
2. Please count your change before leaving the snack bar window.  Once you leave, errors may not be corrected.
3. All purchases are final.  Once you leave the window, exchanges or refunds will not be allowed.  No refunds on drink machines.  Drinks are also available at the snack bar window.
4. Please have your order ready when you arrive at the window.  This allows the line to move quicker and more efficiently.
5. The snack bar closes promptly when the bell rings.
6. Drinks and food are to be consumed during break.  No food or drink will be brought into the buildings.

 

LITTERING AT BREAK

 

DON'T DO IT! THIS WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF BREAK FOR EVERYONE!

 

FEES

Fees are $20.00 per course per semester with the exception of Cooperative Education and Culinary Arts.  Cooperative Education is $10.00 per semester and Culinary Arts is $30.00 per course per semester. Other departments may have additional fees based on instructional needs or required safety tools or equipment. Instructors will collect fees and give you a receipt the day you pay your fees.  You should keep this receipt in a safe place for future reference.  Fees are used for general supplies and operation of the programs.  They are not used for payment of any salary. 

 

LOCKERS

Lockers may be rented for $5.00 a year, which includes the use of a lock. Only school owned locks are allowed.

Students are encouraged to bring work clothes to be worn while in the shops. Failure to have work clothes will not be an excuse for a student to refrain from doing assigned work. Work clothes are not allowed on the home school campus for any reason.

All shop supplies (hats, tools, gloves, safety glasses, helmets) should be locked in each student locker at the end of each class.

 

INSPECTION OF SCHOOL PROPERTY

School officials and law enforcement personnel reserve the right to inspect school property (including lockers and vehicles) at any time to ensure school safety and pupil welfare.

 

RECORDS

Each instructor is required to keep necessary records on each student in his or her class.

 

 

 

FIELD TRIPS

AWARDS & CERTIFICATE CEREMONY

A student must be a completer and a senior at the technical center to participate in the certificate presentation exercises, which are held at the end of the school year.  A completer is any student who has successfully completed three career-technical courses in a sequenced field or a related field.

 

FIRE /TORNADO/LOCKDOWN

It is the responsibility of your instructor to explain to you the procedures which are to be followed in cases of fire or tornado.  We are required to hold drills for each event.  Your cooperation is appreciated.

For students in a semester-long class

In grades 9-12, a student may not exceed five (5) unexcused absences per class in a semester-long class.  If a student misses more than half of a class period, a full absence will be accumulated.  The student will lose credit for any class in which the unexcused absences exceed five (5) per class.  The student can make-up up to two (2) unexcused absences by attending Academic Saturday School before the end of the semester.

SAFETY AND INSURANCE

Each student should buy the school insurance which is offered at each parent school at the beginning of the school year or be covered by an adequate home policy. Safety precautions must be observed in all departments. There are many hazards in a shop--even though it has been made as safe as possible. Students and/or parents are responsible for all expenses/costs related to injuries.

 

 

THE FOLLOWING RULES SHALL BE OBSERVED IN EACH DEPARTMENT:

 

1. Hair shall be managed in such a way so that it will not create a safety hazard around tools and equipment. Hair color or style that creates a disturbance will not be acceptable. Caps may be worn in shops only. Keep in mind that one of the goals of career and technical education is to prepare you for entering the workforce.

 

1. Students are asked to keep work clothes at school. Lockers are available for storing clothing and other school items. Shop clothes, including helmets, gloves, safety glasses, and hats are not to be worn to or from the base schools. These items are to be kept in your shop locker. Clothes may be taken home to be cleaned.

 

Flip flops and open toed shoes are not permitted in the shop settings and other departments as they do not meet safety and/or health guidelines.

 

1. School approved eye protection will be worn in each of the shops when doing any type of work which endangers eyesight. Examples include: drilling, sawing, servicing, soldering, grinding, cutting and others.
