TREATMENT OF STUDENTS

SD-2 5/9/07

With respect to interactions with current or potential students, the Cobb County Board of Education (Board) expects that the Superintendent will establish a climate wherein students are treated in a dignified, considerate, fair and respectful manner and that they are kept in a safe environment conducive to learning.

Accordingly, without limiting the above, the Superintendent shall:
1. Establish with students a clear understanding of what is expected and what is not
    expected.
2. Inform students and their families of issues that would negatively impact
    achievement and of the appropriate steps to resolve these and other types of
    problems. In doing so, the Superintendent shall ensure that a system is in place to:
    a. Notify parents/guardians of a pattern of student absences, tardiness, failure to
        produce work or cutting of classes.
3. Maintain facilities that are clean, litter free, with well-tended grounds.
    a. Maintain sanitary and private conditions where appropriate in schools.

5. Provide and maintain facility signage that is clear and visible as to the location of
    administrative offices and visitor parking.
6. Maintain District buses and other District vehicles in a clean and in a safe working
    order.
7. Elicit information for which there is a clear necessity.
8. Use methods of collecting, reviewing, transmitting, or storing student information that
    protects against improper access to the material elicited.
