When students are in school, engaging in school-sponsored activities, or traveling to and from school on school buses, they are expected to obey all school rules. The District is required to provide reasonable supervision over all students engaged in school-sponsored activities.
Supervision shall include being within a reasonable proximity of the students. Teachers shall exercise supervision as appropriate from the commencement of the school day, before classes begin, during class sessions, during lunch periods, between classes, and at any other time when performing teaching or related duties on behalf of the school.
If a teacher must leave the proximity of the students, then the teacher shall make a good faith effort to obtain a school employee to supervise the students. In no case shall the teacher leave students unsupervised if there is a reasonable possibility that harm to students or property will result from the students being left unattended.
School administrators, teachers, and other staff members will ensure that anyone who wishes to contact a student during the school day is doing so for proper reasons.
