It is the intention of the Iberville Parish School Board to provide a safe and secure climate for employees to perform their duties and responsibilities without fear of bodily harm. This policy shall apply any time a school employee is engaged in the normal scope and course of his/her duties, regardless of whether or not that occurs during regular school hours or on school grounds. It shall also apply to any site at which a school sponsored or school affiliated event occurs (e.g., an away sports event, a school bus, etc.)
Any student who engages in an act of assault or battery, be it simple or aggravated, shall be recommended for expulsion for a period not less than twelve (12) calendar months from the date of the act. It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent (or his/her designee) to determine if the student engaged in a willful act of assault or battery, or if the contact was incidental and no intention to harm was apparent from the facts and circumstances of the case.
