3.0260 DCSD CODE OF CONDUCT: APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR POLICY Issue date: 5/9/19 Updated: 5/14/20 DAI Purpose and Philosophy
The Duchesne County School District is committed to establishing and maintaining appropriate standards of conduct between staff members and students. These standards of conduct are also known as professional boundaries. Staff members shall maintain professional and appropriate demeanor and relationships with students, both during and outside of school hours, as well as both on and off campus, that foster an effective, non-disruptive and safe learning environment. This policy is adopted in conformance with Utah Administrative Rule R277-517, which requires local educational entities to adopt a code of conduct applicable to staff. Definitions 1. 1. Abuse a. “Physical abuse” means abuse that results in physical injury or damage. b. “Sexual abuse” has the same meaning as defined in Utah Code § 78A-6-105(48). c. “Verbal abuse” means repeatedly communicating in an objectively demeaning or disparaging manner which creates a hostile, intimidating, abusive, offensive, or oppressive learning environment. d. “Mental abuse” means a pattern of sustained and repetitive acts or inappropriate statements that cause fear, lower self-esteem, or manipulate the person to control behavior. Examples of actions or statements that could be part of such a pattern include intimidation, threatening harm, destruction of property, insults or putdowns, arbitrary and unpredictable inconsistency, and denial that prior abusive incidents occurred. (Appropriate statements or actions taken in imposing discipline for misconduct do not constitute mental abuse.) Utah Code § 78A-6-105(40), (48) (2018) Utah Admin.
