Employee Ethics

All school employees shall uphold the highest ethical standards in their working relationships. Employees shall establish and maintain professional boundaries with students and colleagues. Employees are expected to treat all individuals with respect and courtesy. 

Employees shall aim to protect the health, well-being, and safety of students and coworkers.  Employees are expected to maintain the privacy of student information, except for circumstances where employees have a legal duty or professional obligation to report. 

Employees shall set a positive example for students in words and actions. This includes, but is not limited to, refraining, while in the presence of students, from use of profanity, demeaning statements, and any other communications that set an inappropriate example for students. 

Employees are expected to perform their assigned duties and responsibilities commensurate with their represented competence and expertise. 

Employees shall not use their employment position to advance a private economic, political, or religious agenda. This does not limit an employee’s constitutionally protected rights as a citizen.
