Employees are expected to perform their assigned jobs, respect and follow Board of Education policies, and obey the law. In the event that employees experience any arrests, the filing of any civil or criminal charges, the filing of any charges including but not limited to operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, or the filing of any charges of child abuse, charges of dependent adult abuse, or charges of domestic abuse, they must notify the Chief Human Resource Officer within 48 hours of the incident. Notification to Human Resources must be made prior to the employee returning to work. If the employee receives a criminal citation or a notification of charges during the summer months and the employee is not scheduled to be at work during that time period, then notification to Human Resources must be made within 5 calendar days of the date of the issuance of the criminal citation or the date of the receipt by the employee of the notification of charges.

Employees must also notify Human Resources of the disposition of any charges pending against them within five (5) business days of the date of the disposition of the charges.

Employees whose duties require possession of a Commercial Driver’s License or who regularly operate district vehicles must report all charges and citations, including traffic tickets such as speeding tickets. Employees will be responsible for the payment of fine, penalty, or ticket. Other employees need not report such traffic tickets.

Except as otherwise provided by law, information relating to arrests, criminal charges, and abuse complaints shall be treated as confidential and maintained as part of the employee’s personnel file.

Employees who do not notify Human Resources as required by this policy will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination of employment.
