Public Conduct on School Property (KGA)

Any person attending any school-related event will conduct himself with politeness, decorum, and proper sportsmanship. Any person entering any School Board property shall be required to conduct himself in accordance with acceptable standards of conduct and show respect for the law and rights of others. Any person who disrupts the orderly educational process while on a school campus may be restricted or banned from such property by the Superintendent. In addition, any person who behaves in an unsportsmanlike manner during an athletic or co-curricular event may be ejected from the event and be denied admission to other events.

Should a person’s conduct while on school property become so disruptive that it threatens the safety of any employee or student, school personnel shall be authorized to notify law enforcement personnel for assistance. Examples of unacceptable conduct include, but are not limited to using vulgar or obscene language or gestures, possessing or being under the influence of any alcoholic beverage or illegal substance, possessing a weapon, fighting or otherwise striking or threatening another person, failing to obey the instructions of a security officer or school district employee, interfering in any way with an athletic or co-curricular event, or engaging in any activity which is disruptive or illegal.

The Superintendent shall have the authority to review the circumstances and make the final decision regarding the banning of any individual from any or all school functions in SMP. Students demonstrating any of the above conduct shall be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with the SMP Discipline Matrix.
