Monitoring and Surveillance Policy
Levine Academy may conduct workplace monitoring to help ensure employee and student safety and security. The computer equipment and systems and Internet access that employees may use are always the property of Levine Academy. Therefore, we reserve the right to monitor computer activities. We also reserve the right to retrieve and read any computer files or data that are composed, sent, or received through Internet connections or stored in our computer systems. We may conduct video surveillance of non-private workplace areas. We use video monitoring to identify safety concerns, maintain security, detect theft and misconduct, and discourage and prevent acts of harassment and violence. Because we are sensitive to the legitimate privacy rights of our employees, students, and visitors we will make every effort to guarantee that workplace monitoring is always done in an ethical and respectful manner.
Security Inspections and Searches
Access to Levine Academy premises is conditioned upon its right to inspect or search the person, vehicle, or personal effects of any employee or visitor. This may include any emplo yee’s office, desk, file cabinet, closet, locker, or similar place. Employee participation in the search procedure is a condition of continued employment and failure to cooperate in a search or investigation can lead to termination. Because even a routine inspection or search might result in the viewing of an employee’s personal possessions, employees are encouraged not to bring any item of personal property to the workplace that they do not want revealed to the school. Vehicles, desks and lockers may be provided for the convenience of employees but remains the sole property of the school. Unauthorized storage of school property in desks and lockers is not permitted. Only school provided locks may be used to secure desks and lockers. Any prohibited materials (or materials that may be found to be prohibited) that are found in an employee’s possession during an inspection or search will be collected and placed in a sealed container or envelope. The employee’s name, date, circumstances under which the materials were collected, and by whom they were collected will be recorded and attached to the container or written on the envelope. If after further investigation, the collected materials prove not to be prohibited, they will be returned to the employee, and the employee will sign a receipt for the contents. If the prohibited materials prove to be illegal and/or dangerous, they will not be returned to the employee but will be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency. From time to time, and without prior announcement, inspections or searches may be made of anyone entering, leaving, or on the premises or property of the school (including alcohol and/or drug screens or other testing). Refusal to cooperate in such an inspection or search (including alcohol and/or drug screens) is grounds for corrective action up to and including termination of employment.
