Eastern Pulaski School Corporation representatives recently realized they did not have a standing policy regarding faculty arrests. At their school board meeting on Monday, Superintendent Dan Foster presented the policy to board members who were able to view it through the online agenda provided on the Eastern Pulaski School website.
“This is a policy that we don’t have and it’s kind of caused some issues and concerns lately.” Foster continued, “So we worked with ISBA and got some simple language from some other school corporations and kind of gelled that together. It is a first reading so obviously it’s open to any input.”
Essentially, the policy requires faculty members to report any run-ins with police, whether they result in an arrest or not. If faculty members fail to report, the superintendent or appropriate designee will conduct an investigation and determine the appropriate disciplinary action to take.
The board members did not have any questions or comments to make regarding the first reading of the policy. The Corporation Attorney Tim Murray also had no comments to add. The policy will be revisited at the next Eastern Pulaski School Board meeting. To read the entire proposed policy click here.
