4. Site Use: Community Shelter
Receiving Station:
Agreements with the County of Sacramento to provide for the use of high school sites
for various disaster evacuee activities. After consultation and agreement with the
Superintendent and site principal, school facilities such as gymnasiums, multipurpose
rooms and cafeteria can be used as the following:

The District shall have first use of its facilities for pupil sheltering. This is keeping with
the assigned mission of schools under the provisions of the Educational Code.
Use of Provisions:
If it is necessary to shelter and feed pupils, staff, and /or community members, District
provisions can be used after approval of the Superintendent, upon consultation with
Nutrition Services, Purchasing Agent, and others involved in the direct control of the
particular provisions to be utilized.
Site administrators must notify Transportation and Nutrition Services of all planned
shelter operations and alternative locations as soon as they are known. These sites
should be identified in the Site Specific Plan and on the Site Plan Summary forwarded
to the Office of Risk Management.
All requests outside of direct District use of buildings at the high schools and provisions
will be made as outlined in the County Operations Plans.
Only limited first aid supplies are available at each high school site. No cots, bedding or
other emergency supplies are available. Provisions need to be made for distributing
needed materials prior to any extended use of a school facility.

6. Site Reunification Procedures
In the case of an evacuation, teachers are to take their role sheets along with red and green cards to their
assigned evacuation location where they will immediately take role. Green card held up if all students in
class earlier are present. Red card indicates missing student(s). Students allowed one text to guardian.
Guardians will be instructed to report to the vehicle gate next to the football field in the west parking lot.
The west parking lot gates on Florin Road will be closed and locked so as not to create a traffic jam in the lot.
Guardians and adults listed on an emergency card may pick up a student upon showing a photo ID. The
LBHS administrators have smart phones, enabling access students’ contact and emergency information.
The staff member receiving the adult at the gate, upon verifying his or her ID, checks the student’s schedule
then calls on the two-way radio for the campus monitor who is assigned to the student’s evacuation zone.
The monitor is given the student’s name and room number. The monitor checks with the student’s
instructor to see if the student is present. If the student is present, he or she is sent to the pedestrian gate
on the west side of the boy’s locker room to be reunified with the adult.
At the pedestrian gate, the student’s name is taken, along with the adult’s and the time they left. The place
that the adult is taking the student is also noted so that if another adult comes for the same student, the
aforementioned information can be provided.
All adults who come to pick up students are sent from the vehicle gate by the football field to the pedestrian
gate by the boy’s locker room. This way, an adult does not have to stand in one place waiting while a
monitor attempts to locate his or her child nor does the adult have to hear possible bad news over the radio
while waiting in front of a line of others who are looking for their children.
Adults, whose children have not been located, are met by one of the school counselors at the pedestrian
gate to inform them that the student has not been located. Meanwhile, a campus monitor with a bullhorn
will call for the student in case he or she has wandered to another zone. This will only be done in cases in
which the student was present in class before the evacuation.
7. Site Level Earthquake Emergency Procedures
Site Action:
Drills shall be conducted on regular basis. A staff member will use intercom
system to make all announcements. Announcer will state that there is drill
about to take place and remind staff and students of what they will need to do
(“Drop, Cover, and Hold”). Staff member then proceeds with drill, directing as
talking through simulation beginning to end. All on site are to actively
participate. Teachers/staff are to direct students through process in both drills
and actual events.
Procedures for Actual Event: Earthquake
During quake:
Follow “Drop, Cover and Hold” procedure as practiced in drills.
Use a desk, table or piece of furniture as a shield, putting as much of body as
possible under starting with head. Hold on to desk/table.
If no desk/table/counter, move away from windows and overhead fixtures.
Press against a wall with no windows or shelves.
Make your body as small, bury face in arms.
Keep your eyes closed and ears covered.
If outside: Move away from utility poles, trees, buildings, electrical wires other
hazards if outside.
After quake:
The initial shock is usually the most severe, but aftershocks can be quite strong and
continue for some time. The guiding principle is to continue operating as much normal
schedule and dismiss at the regular time (unless the quake is major).

When safe, the fire drill bell will ring and everyone will vacate the building and
stay outside until the "all clear" order is given. Render first Aid if needed.

Special consideration should be given to exit routes. Do not run, particularly on
stairways. Pay close attention for hazards on ground such as broken glass,
wires, etc.

After vacating the building, students and staff shall not be permitted to reenter
if there is any doubt concerning the safely of the building. In this event, it is
recommended that a qualified inspection team from the District or Site
Emergency Team or Buildings & Grounds Dept. perform structural and safety
inspections following the current OES Guidelines. Students and/or staff may be
allowed to reenter the building only after, it has been determined to be safe.

The site administrator/manager shall notify his/her Area Administrator of the
emergency, who will then determine what District action may be necessary.

If students need to be evacuated, they should follow site evacuation plan. In the
event that the site is not usable, signs should be placed at the school site
indicating where the children are being kept. If the children are picked up by
parents or guardians before dismissal, a record will be kept by the teacher.

If known and directed to do so, disconnect electrical controls and turn off the
gas valve. Notify Fire Department or Buildings & Grounds, of any break, or
suspected breaks, in utilities beyond your control.
8. Emergency Plan: Site Drill Procedures
Emergency Procedures: Fire
Site Action:
Drills shall be routinely practiced. Teachers/staff will have access to fire
extinguishers in rooms. Evacuation routes posted. In the event a fire is
detected within a site building; the fire alarm will be sounded. This will
automatically implement the following action:

Notify Fire/Police/Sheriff’s Department (9-911) - If it is possible to
fight small fires without endangering life, do so.

Evacuation - The teacher/manager leaves the room last, grabbing roll
sheets and checking for stragglers. Staff and students follow evacuation
map routes to assigned assembly areas at a safe distance from the fire
and away from fire-fighting equipment or access area. Roll call taken. All
students present, teacher displays green card. Red if any student
missing.

Building occupants should be trained to recognize the distinctive fire bell
and to vacate the room quickly upon its signal.

Occupants should be trained to use alternate exits. Due to possible
blockage of a particular exit or ramp, fire drills should purposefully
require a rerouting of pupils to another safe exit or walking area.

Upon hearing the "all clear" bell, classes under the supervision of school
personnel will leave the waiting area according to the school plan.

It should be emphasized that the lives of the students and staff members
are of primary importance. Personal belongings, clothing and school
records are only of secondary importance. Staff/students should not
return to classrooms to retrieve personal belongings that they forgot
during the crisis. Nobody shall return to the classrooms/offices until the
"all clear" bell is sounded.
Emergency Procedures: Chemical
Chemical accidents may occur on site or near site. On site, all chemicals must
be labeled and properly stored. NOTE: All chemicals stored for science classes
must be stored in a locked metal cabinet that has shelves with raised edges.
Teachers must know the properties of your chemicals and how they react with
each other. Teachers shall instruct students on proper and safe handling of
chemicals as well as how to handle spills and accidents. KEEP MSDS Sheets in
areas where chemicals are used. All storage areas are to be well ventilated.
Warning of a chemical accident off campus is usually received from the fire
and/or police departments or civil defense officials if accident occurs sufficiently
near a site to be a threat to the safety of the operation.
An overturned tanker, either a truck or train, a broken fuel line, and an
accident in a commercial establishment that uses chemicals are all potential
hazards if such accidents occur near the site or if the wind is such that it would
carry fumes from such accidents to the site. Whether the accident occurs at the
site or off the grounds, the procedure is as follows:
Site Action:




Determine whether the students and staff should leave the site grounds
or set up shelter.
Notify Emergency Services 911 (Advise this is a chemical emergency)
If it is necessary to evacuate the area, of 610 meters (2000 ft), move
crosswind, never directly with or against the wind which may be carrying
fumes
Render first aid as necessary. Take roll.

Notify District Emergency Coordinator (Emergency Operations Center) in
case of a major spill
Chemical Spills (Where evacuation is not possible):
Chemical accidents of disastrous magnitude would include tank truck or train
accidents involving toxic gases and fluids. Should such an accident endanger
the students or staff, and evacuation not be possible, the Site
Administrator/Manager or Emergency Services Coordinator or his/her designee
will observe the following procedures:








Have all students/staff report to enclosed area
Shut down air conditioners, close doors and windows
Determine the need and ability to LEAVE THE BUILDING, and do so, if
possible, and necessary
Determine the need and ability to leave the site grounds, and do so, if
possible and necessary.
Move crosswind, never up, or downwind — to avoid fumes.
The staff should maintain control of the students at a safe distance from
exposure to danger.
Render first aid as necessary. Take roll.
Notify the following: Fire Department, Police/Sheriff Office, Appropriate
Associate Superintendent, and Superintendent’s Office.

emergency workers. Teachers should dial XXXX to reach the “emergency only” line. In the
case that there is no viable way to call and injury is life threatening, slid Red Cross placard
under door.
7. The school should remain under lockdown until the situation has been cleared. Do not
open door for anyone. Do not release students to parents or guardians unless the
administration has specifically approved the dismissal.
8. The school will remain under lockdown until the Principal, Assistant Principal, or designee
announces an “all clear,” and gives further instructions.

wounded student or any information that would be important to police or emergency
workers. Teachers should dial XXXX to reach the “emergency only” line.
8. The school should remain under lock-down until the situation has been cleared. Do not
release students to parents or guardians unless the administration has specifically
approved the dismissal.

will have a key to all buildings and will not need to be let in.
10. The school will remain under lock-down until the Principal, Assistant Principal, or designee
announces an “all clear,” and gives further instructions.
Emergency Procedure: ACTIVE SHOOTER/VIOLENT INTRUDER
An “active shooter” is an individual who is engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a
confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms(s) and there is no
pattern or method to their selection of victims. In cases of other weapons, referred to as
“violent intruder”
Victims are selected at random. Event is unpredictable and evolves quickly. Knowing what
to do can save lives.
When an Active Shooter is in your vicinity, you must be prepared both mentally and
physically to deal with the situation.
Call 911 once you are safe.
Give following info:
Location of the active shooter(s)/violent intruder(s)
Number of shooters
Physical description of shooters
Number and type of weapons
Number of any known victims and number of potential victims
You have three options:
1 RUN
 Have an escape route and plan in mind.
 Leave your belongings behind.
 Evacuate regardless of whether others agree to follow.
 Help others escape, if possible to do so and maintain safety.
 Do not attempt to move the wounded.
 Prevent others from entering an area where the active shooter may be.
 Keep your hands visible.
2 HIDE
 Hide in an area out of the shooter’s view. Use barriers if possible.
 Lock door or block entry to your hiding place.
 Silence your cell phone (including vibrate mode) and remain quiet.
3 FIGHT








Fight as a last resort and only when your life is in imminent danger.
Attempt to incapacitate the shooter.
Act with as much physical aggression as possible.
Improvise weapons or throw items at the active shooter.
Commit to your actions . . . your life depends on it.
The first officers to arrive on scene will not stop to help the injured.
Expect rescue teams to follow initial officers.
These rescue teams will treat and remove injured.
Once you have reached a safe location, you will likely be held in that area by law enforcement until
the situation is under control, and all witnesses have been identified and questioned. Do not leave
the area until law enforcement authorities have instructed you to do so
When law enforcement arrives:
 Remain calm and follow instructions.
 Drop items in your hands (e.g., bags, jackets).
 Raise hands and spread fingers.
 Keep hands visible at all times.
 Avoid quick movements toward officers, such as holding on to them for safety.
 Avoid pointing, screaming or yelling. Do not ask questions when evacuating.

(a)Noncustodial Parents
BP 5021
Students
Noncustodial parents generally retain the same rights as custodial parents unless a court order restricts
the rights of the noncustodial parent. These rights include but are not limited to accessing his/her child's
student records, participating in school activities and visiting the child at school. If a completed or
pending legal action curtails the noncustodial parent's rights, the parent/guardian with custody shall
provide evidence of this action to the Superintendent or designee.
(cf. 5125 - Student Records)
(cf. 5142 - Safety)
(cf. 6020 - Parent Involvement)
Upon request, the district shall provide noncustodial parents with announcements and notices that are
sent to the custodial parent.
While both parents can visit the child at school, only the custodial parent has the right to remove the
child from school property. Only a verified note or an emergency card from the custodial parent will be
cause for exception to this provision.
(cf. 5141 - Health Care and Emergencies)
In the event of an attempted violation of a court order that restricts access to a student, staff shall contact
the custodial parent and local law enforcement officials and shall make the student available only after
one or both of these parties consent.

(b) Mandated Child Abuse Reporting:
CHILD ABUSE REPORTING LAW REQUIREMENTS:
The State of California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (Penal Code Section 11166, et seq.)
requires all mandated child abuse reporters to report known or suspected child abuse or neglect to the
proper authorities. The following is an excerpt from Penal Code Section 11166:
…a mandated reporter shall make a report…whenever the mandated reporter, in his or her professional
capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or observes a child whom the
mandated reporter knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim of child abuse or neglect. The
mandated reporter shall make a report…immediately or as soon as is practicably possible by telephone,
and the mandated reporter shall prepare and send a written report thereof within 36 hours of receiving
the information concerning the incident.
…"reasonable suspicion" means that it is objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a suspicion,
based upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing, when appropriate, on
his or her training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. For the purpose of this article, the
pregnancy of a minor does not, in and of itself, constitute a basis for a reasonable suspicion of sexual
abuse.
PERSONS MANDATED TO REPORT CHILD ABUSE: PENAL CODE SECTION 11166:
For the purposes of the reporting law, all educators, school employees, and college intern/trainees are
mandated reporters. An amendment to the law in 2000 redefined mandated reporters to include all
classified employees of any public school in addition to teachers, aides, administrators, and others.
Training for mandated reporters is provided by the District; however, the absence of training shall not
excuse a mandated reporter from the duties imposed under reporting laws. Volunteers whose duties
require contact and supervision of children should also obtain training. (Penal Code Section 11165.7.)
HEALTH SERVICES DEPARTMENT
5735 47th Avenue Sacramento, CA 95824
(916) 643-9412 FAX (916) 643-9471
In addition, any mandated reporter who has knowledge of, or reasonable suspicion of, mental suffering
that has been inflicted upon a child, or that a child's emotional well-being is endangered in any way,
may report the known or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect. (Penal Code Section 11166.05.)
DEFINITIONS AND TYPES OF CHILD ABUSE:
The term "child abuse or neglect" includes:
• Physical Abuse
• Neglect
• Sexual Abuse
• Willful Cruelty or Unjustifiable Punishment
• Unlawful Corporal Punishment
Physical Abuse means a physical injury, which is inflicted by other than accidental means on a child by
another person. (Partial excerpt from Penal Code section 11165.6.)
Neglect means negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child by a person responsible for the child's
welfare under circumstances indicating harm or threatened harm to the child's health or welfare, and
includes both acts and omissions on the part of the responsible person.
Severe neglect means the negligent failure of a person having the care or custody of a child to protect
the child from severe malnutrition or medically diagnosed nonorganic failure to thrive, and includes
those situations of neglect where any person having the care or custody of a child willfully causes or
permits the person or health of the child to be placed in a situation such that the child's person or health
is endangered, including intentional failure to provide adequate food, clothing, shelter or medical care.
General neglect means the negligent failure of a person having the care or custody of a child to provide
adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, or supervision where no physical injury to the child has
occurred. (Penal Code Section 11165.2.)
Sexual Abuse means sexual assault or sexual exploitation. Sexual Assault includes: rape, statutory
rape, gang rape (or rape in concert), incest, sodomy, lewd or lascivious acts upon a child or minor, oral
copulation, sexual penetration, child molestation and intentional masturbation in the presence of a child
Sexual exploitation includes preparing, selling or distributing matter depicting a minor engaged in
obscene acts; knowingly promoting, aiding or assisting, employing, using, persuading, inducing or
coercing a child or any person responsible for a child's welfare who knowingly permits or encourages a
child to engage in, or assist others to engage in, prostitution or a live performance involving obscene
sexual conduct, or to pose or model alone or with others for purposes of preparing a film, photograph,
negative, slide, drawing, painting or other pictorial depiction involving obscene sexual conduct; and
knowingly depicting a child in, or knowingly developing, duplicating, printing or exchanging any film,
photograph, video tape, negative or slide in which a child is engaged in an act of obscene sexual
conduct. (Penal Code Section 11165.1 Unlawful Corporal Punishment means a situation where any
person willfully inflicts upon any child any cruel or inhumane corporal punishment or injury resulting in
a traumatic condition. It does not include an amount of force that is reasonable and necessary for a
person employed by a public school to quell a disturbance threatening physical injury to person or
damage to property, for purposes of self-defense or to obtain possession of weapons or other dangerous
objects within the control of the pupil (Education Code Section 49001), or that is necessary to maintain
order, protect property, protect the health and safety of students, and maintain conditions conducive to
learning (Education Code Section 44807). (Penal Code Section 11165.4. Willful Cruelty or
Unjustifiable Punishment means a situation where any person willfully causes or permits any child to
suffer, or inflicts thereon, unjustifiable physical pain or mental suffering, or having the care or custody

corporal punishment or injury resulting in a traumatic condition. It does not include an amount of force

Section 49001), or that is necessary to maintain order, protect property, protect the health and safety of
students, and maintain conditions conducive to learning (Education Code Section 44807). (Penal Code
Section 11165.4.)
REPORTING PROCEDURES:
As mandated reporters, all school employees must report the known or suspected incidence of child
abuse or neglect to the appropriate agency immediately or when practically possible by telephone.

The telephone call must be followed within 36 hours by a written report to the same agency to which
the telephone report was made. (Penal Code Section 11166.)

their work site.
2. Submit one copy to the child protective agency to which the telephone report was made.
3. Submit one copy to the Health Services Department within one working day (Mail Box #764) to be
maintained in a confidential file by the Coordinator of Health Services.
NO OTHER COPIES ARE TO BE KEPT ON SITE OR FOR PERSONAL RECORDS.
4. Notify the site principal and the director/supervisor of your department of the report.
The person reporting the suspected child abuse or neglect has the option of deleting his/her name from
the copy that is sent to the Health Services Department. However, the Health Services copy verifies that
the reporter has complied with the law for mandated reporters.
The report should be typed, if possible. Make a photocopy and submit the photocopy to Health Services
Department (Mail Box 764).
For reports sent to Children’s Protective Services, the reporting party should receive a written
response from the investigating social worker. This written response should be forwarded to Health
Services Department
(Mail Box 764) to be attached to the Health Services copy of the original report.
CONFIDENTIALITY MANDATES:
Interview at School: When a representative of Children's Protective Services deems it necessary, a
suspected victim of child abuse or neglect may be interviewed at school. The child is given the option of
being interviewed in private or selecting any adult school employee or volunteer aide to be present at the
interview. The purpose of having a staff member at the interview is to lend support to the child and help
him/her feel as comfortable as possible. The Staff member cannot participate in the interview or discuss
the facts or circumstances of the case with the child, and is subject to confidentiality requirements.
(Penal Code Section 11174.3.)
Identity of mandated reporter: The identity of all persons who are mandated reporters who report
child abuse or neglect shall be confidential and disclosed only among: agencies receiving or
investigating mandated reports, the district attorney in a criminal prosecution or an action initiated under
Welfare & Institutes Code Section 602 arising from alleged child abuse, counsel appointed pursuant to
Welfare & Institutions Code Section 317 (c), county counsel or district attorney in a proceeding under
Family Code Section 7800 or Welfare & Institutions Code Section 300, a licensing agency when abuse
or neglect in out-of-home care is reasonably suspected, or when the mandated reporter(s) waive
confidentiality, or by court order. (Penal Code Section 11167.)
FAILURE TO REPORT:
The mandated reporter who fails to report an incident of known or reasonably suspected child abuse or
neglect is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail or by a fine of $1000.00, or
both. (Penal Code Section 11166(c).) Educators who fail to report may also risk loss of their license or
credential (Education Code Section 44421.) In addition, a failure to report may result in personal civil
liability. (Landeros v. Flood (1975) 17 Cal3d 399.)
When two or more mandated reporters have knowledge of a known or suspected instance of child abuse
or neglect, the telephone and written reports may be made by one person selected by mutual agreement.
However, if the selected person fails to report, then the other person is responsible for reporting.
(Penal Code Section 11166(h).)
The reporting duties are individual. No supervisor or administrator may impede or inhibit the reporting
duties and no person making a report shall be subject to any sanction for making the report. Internal
procedures to apprise administrators and supervisors of reports may be established; however, they
cannot require any employee to disclose his or her identity to the employer. Reporting possible child
abuse or neglect to an employer, supervisor, principal, school counselor, coworker or other person does
not substitute for making a mandated report. (Penal Code Section 11166(i).)
IMMUNITY FROM CIVIL OR CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR MANDATED REPORTERS:
No mandated reporter shall be civilly or criminally liable for any required report. Any other person
reporting known or suspected child abuse or neglect shall not incur civil or criminal liability unless it
can be proven that a false report was made and the person knew that the report was false or was made
with reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the report and, in that event, the person is liable for any
damages caused. (Penal Code Section 11172.) If you have any questions regarding this memorandum
call the Health Services Department at (916) 643-9412.

Board Policy: Anti-Bullying
BP 5145.4
Students
The Governing Board desires to provide an orderly, caring and nondiscriminatory learning environment and
specifically prohibits acts of harassment or bullying. The Governing Board has determined that a safe and civil
environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards. Harassment or
bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a student’s ability to learn and a
school’s ability to educate its students in a safe environment. Demonstration of appropriate behavior, treating
others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate harassment or bullying is expected of administrators,
faculty, staff, parents, students and volunteers to provide positive examples for student behavior.
(cf. 0200 - Goals for the School District)
(cf. 5137 - Positive School Climate)
(cf. 5142 - Safety)
Harassment or bullying is any gesture or written, verbal, graphic, physical or electronic act (i.e. including, but not
limited to, internet, cell phone, personal digital assistant (pda), or wireless hand held device) that is reasonably
perceived as being motivated either by any actual or perceived characteristic, such as race; color; religion;
ancestry; national origin; gender; sexual orientation; gender identity and expression; socioeconomic status;
academic status; mental, physical, development or sensory disability or impairment; creed; political belief; age;
linguistic or language differences; height; weight; marital status; parental status; or by any other distinguishing
characteristic; or because of an association with a person who has or is perceived to have one or more of these
characteristics. Such behavior is considered harassment or bullying whether it takes place on or off school
property, at any school-sponsored function, in a school vehicle, or by students, family members or staff.
Students shall be assured that they need not endure, for any reason, any harassment which impairs the educational
environment or a student's emotional well-being at school. Harassment involves unwelcome comments (written or
spoken) or conduct which violates an individual's dignity, and/or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading,
humiliating or offensive environment.
(cf. 5145.3 - Nondiscrimination/Harassment) (cf. 5145.7 - Sexual Harassment)
Students shall be assured that they need not endure, for any reason, bullying behavior, including electronic or
cyber bullying, which impairs the educational environment or a student’s emotional well-being. Bullying is a
comprehensive term that describes conduct that meets all of the following criteria:
is directed at one or more persons;
substantially interferes with educational opportunities, benefits, or programs of one or more students;
adversely affects the ability of a student to participate in or benefit from the school district’s educational programs
or activities by placing the student in reasonable fear of physical harm or by causing emotional distress;
is based on a student’s actual or perceived distinguishing characteristic (see above), or is based on an association
with another person who has or is perceived to have any of these characteristics;
involves an imbalance of power or strength; and
involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time
Electronic bullying or cyber bullying is the use of electronic communication technology such as, but not limited
to, e-mail, instant messages, text messages, mobile phones, and web sites, to send or post messages or images to
embarrass, humiliate, spread rumors, threaten or intimate. Sending sexually explicit images electronically, even
consensually, may be considered as distribution of child pornography, and is to be referred to district security
and/or law enforcement.
(cf. 5131 - Conduct)
(cf. 5131.1 - Bus Conduct)
(cf. 5131.2 - Use of Electronic Signaling Devices)
(cf. 5131.4 - Campus Disturbances)
(cf. 5145.2 - Freedom of Speech/Expression: Publications Code)
(cf. 5145.9 - Hate-Motivated Behavior)
The District prohibits bystander support of harassment or bullying as it can encourage and/or reinforce the
behavior. Bystander support may be active actions such as, but not limited to, laughter or calling attention to the
situation; or through passive actions such as, but not limited to, watching the situation and doing nothing. Staff
should therefore support students who walk away from harassment or bullying when they see the acts occurring,
who constructively attempt to stop such acts, or who report the acts to a designated authority.
The Board requires school administrators to develop and implement procedures that ensure both the appropriate
consequences and remedial responses to a student or staff member who commits acts of harassment or bullying.
Staff should provide services or supports to students who engage in acts of bullying and/or harassment to educate
them on the impact of these behaviors on others. Administrators should ensure that appropriate services or
supports are provided to students who report being victims of bullying or harassment.
The Board requires the principal and/or the principal’s designee at each school to be responsible for receiving
complaints alleging violations of this policy. All school employees are required to report alleged violations of this
policy to the principal or the principal’s designee. All other members of the school community, including
students, parents, volunteers, and visitors, are encouraged to report any act that may be a violation of this policy.
Reports may be made anonymously, but formal disciplinary action may not be based solely on the basis of an
anonymous report.
The Board requires the principal and/or the principal’s designee to be responsible for determining whether an
alleged act constitutes a violation of this policy. In so doing, the principal and/or the principal’s designee shall
conduct a prompt, thorough, and complete investigation of each alleged incident. Depending upon the extent and
complexity of the investigation, within a reasonable period of time (approximately one week) after receiving the
complaint, the principal or designee shall determine whether or not the student who complained was bullied
against and/or harassed
The Board prohibits reprisal or retaliation against any person who reports an act of harassment or bullying. The
consequences and appropriate remedial action for a person who engages in reprisal or retaliation shall be
determined by the administrator after consideration of the nature, severity, and circumstances of the act.
(cf. 0410 - Nondiscrimination in District Programs and Activities)
(cf. 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures) (cf. 1312.1 - Complaints Concerning District Employees
The Board requires school officials to annually disseminate the policy to all school staff, students, and parents,
along with a statement explaining that it applies to all applicable acts of harassment and bullying whether it takes
place on or off school property, electronically, at any school-sponsored function, in a school vehicle, or by
students, family members or staff. The chief school administrator shall develop an annual process for discussing
the school district policy on harassment and bullying with students and staff.
The school district shall incorporate information regarding the policy against harassment or bullying into each
school employee training program and handbook.

13. SCUSD Board Policies
(a)Noncustodial Parents
BP 5021
Students
Noncustodial parents generally retain the same rights as custodial parents unless a court order
restricts the rights of the noncustodial parent. These rights include but are not limited to
accessing his/her child's student records, participating in school activities and visiting the child at
school. If a completed or pending legal action curtails the noncustodial parent's rights, the
parent/guardian with custody shall provide evidence of this action to the Superintendent or
designee.
(cf. 5125 - Student Records)
(cf. 5142 - Safety)
(cf. 6020 - Parent Involvement)
Upon request, the district shall provide noncustodial parents with announcements and notices
that are sent to the custodial parent.
While both parents can visit the child at school, only the custodial parent has the right to remove
the child from school property. Only a verified note or an emergency card from the custodial
parent will be cause for exception to this provision.
(cf. 5141 - Health Care and Emergencies)
In the event of an attempted violation of a court order that restricts access to a student, staff shall
contact the custodial parent and local law enforcement officials and shall make the student
available only after one or both of these parties consent.

(b) Mandated Child Abuse Reporting:
CHILD ABUSE REPORTING LAW REQUIREMENTS:
The State of California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act (Penal Code Section 11166, et
seq.) requires all mandated child abuse reporters to report known or suspected child abuse or
neglect to the proper authorities. The following is an excerpt from Penal Code Section 11166:
…a mandated reporter shall make a report…whenever the mandated reporter, in his or her
professional capacity or within the scope of his or her employment, has knowledge of or
observes a child whom the mandated reporter knows or reasonably suspects has been the victim
of child abuse or neglect. The mandated reporter shall make a report…immediately or as soon
as is practicably possible by telephone, and the mandated reporter shall prepare and send a
written report thereof within 36 hours of receiving the information concerning the incident.
…"reasonable suspicion" means that it is objectively reasonable for a person to entertain a
suspicion, based upon facts that could cause a reasonable person in a like position, drawing,
when appropriate, on his or her training and experience, to suspect child abuse or neglect. For
the purpose of this article, the pregnancy of a minor does not, in and of itself, constitute a basis
for a reasonable suspicion of sexual abuse.
PERSONS MANDATED TO REPORT CHILD ABUSE: PENAL CODE SECTION 11166:
For the purposes of the reporting law, all educators, school employees, and college
intern/trainees are mandated reporters. An amendment to the law in 2000 redefined mandated
reporters to include all classified employees of any public school in addition to teachers, aides,
administrators, and others. Training for mandated reporters is provided by the District; however,
the absence of training shall not excuse a mandated reporter from the duties imposed under
reporting laws. Volunteers whose duties require contact and supervision of children should also
obtain training. (Penal Code Section 11165.7.)

(916) 643-9412 FAX (916) 643-9471
DEFINITIONS AND TYPES OF CHILD ABUSE:
The term "child abuse or neglect" includes:
• Physical Abuse
• Neglect
• Sexual Abuse
• Willful Cruelty or Unjustifiable Punishment
• Unlawful Corporal Punishment
Physical Abuse means a physical injury, which is inflicted by other than accidental means on a
child by another person. (Partial excerpt from Penal Code section 11165.6.)
Neglect means negligent treatment or maltreatment of a child by a person responsible for the
child's welfare under circumstances indicating harm or threatened harm to the child's health or
welfare, and includes both acts and omissions on the part of the responsible person.
Severe neglect means the negligent failure of a person having the care or custody of a child to
protect the child from severe malnutrition or medically diagnosed nonorganic failure to thrive,
and includes those situations of neglect where any person having the care or custody of a child
willfully causes or permits the person or health of the child to be placed in a situation such that
the child's person or health is endangered, including the intentional failure to provide adequate
food, clothing, shelter or medical care.
General neglect means the negligent failure of a person having the care or custody of a child to
provide adequate food, clothing, shelter, medical care, or supervision where no physical injury to
the child has occurred. (Penal Code Section 11165.2.)
Sexual Abuse means sexual assault or sexual exploitation.
Sexual Assault includes: rape, statutory rape, gang rape (or rape in concert), incest, sodomy,
lewd or lascivious acts upon a child or minor, oral copulation, sexual penetration, child
molestation and intentional masturbation in the presence of a child.
Sexual exploitation includes preparing, selling or distributing matter depicting a minor engaged
in obscene acts; knowingly promoting, aiding or assisting, employing, using, persuading,
inducing or coercing a child or any person responsible for a child's welfare who knowingly
permits or encourages a child to engage in, or assist others to engage in, prostitution or a live
performance involving obscene sexual conduct, or to pose or model alone or with others for
purposes of preparing a film, photograph, negative, slide, drawing, painting or other pictorial
depiction involving obscene sexual conduct; and knowingly depicting a child in, or knowingly
developing, duplicating, printing or exchanging any film, photograph, video tape, negative or
slide in which a child is engaged in an act of obscene sexual conduct. (Penal Code Section
11165.1.)
Willful Cruelty or Unjustifiable Punishment means a situation where any person willfully
causes or permits any child to suffer, or inflicts thereon, unjustifiable physical pain or mental
suffering, or having the care or custody of any child, willfully causes or permits the person or
health of the child to be placed in a situation such that the child's person or health is endangered.
(Penal Code Section 11165.3.)
Unlawful Corporal Punishment means a situation where any person willfully inflicts upon any
child any cruel or inhumane corporal punishment or injury resulting in a traumatic condition. It
does not include an amount of force that is reasonable and necessary for a person employed by a
public school to quell a disturbance threatening physical injury to person or damage to property,
for purposes of self-defense or to obtain possession of weapons or other dangerous objects within
the control of the pupil (Education Code Section 49001), or that is necessary to maintain order,
protect property, protect the health and safety of students, and maintain conditions conducive to
learning (Education Code Section 44807). (Penal Code Section 11165.4.)
In addition, any mandated reporter who has knowledge of, or reasonable suspicion of, mental
suffering that has been inflicted upon a child, or that a child's emotional well-being is
endangered in any way, may report the known or suspected instance of child abuse or neglect.
(Penal Code Section 11166.05.)
REPORTING PROCEDURES:
As mandated reporters, all school employees must report the known or suspected incidence of
child abuse or neglect to the appropriate agency immediately or when practically possible by
telephone.
(Penal Code Section 11166.)
The following information must be provided at the time of the telephone call:
1) Name, business address and telephone number of the mandated reporter, and the capacity that
makes the person a mandated reporter;
2) The child's name and address, present location and, where applicable, school, grade and class;
3) The names, addresses and telephone numbers of the child's parents/guardians;
4) The information that gave rise to the reasonable suspicion of child abuse or neglect and the
source or sources of that information; and
5) The name, address, telephone number, and other relevant personal information about the
person or persons who might have abused or neglected the child. The mandated reporter must
make this report even if some of this information is not known or is uncertain to him or her.
(Penal code Section 11167.)
The telephone call must be followed within 36 hours by a written report to the same agency to
which the telephone report was made. (Penal Code Section 11166.)
1. Children’s Protective Services (24 hr. number)..................(916) 875-KIDS (5437)
3701 Branch Center Road
P.O. Box 269057
Sacramento, CA 95826-9057

non-related persons) for which law enforcement is not immediately needed.
2. Sacramento City Police Department...................................(916) 264-5471
Child Abuse Section
5770 Freeport Blvd. Ste 100
Sacramento, CA 95822
This is the agency to call for suspected abuse by non-family persons
(neighbor, childcare provider, etc.), or if an immediate response is required for incidents
occurring within city limits.
3. Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department..(916) 874-5115 Sheriff’s Dispatch
711 G Street, Room 304
This is the agency to call for suspected abuse by non-family persons (neighbor, childcare
provider, etc.), and which occurred outside city limits or if an immediate response is required.
REPORT FORM:
Department of Justice form SS8572 (Rev. a/93), Suspected Child Abuse Report is required
(Penal Code Section 11168.)
These reporting forms can be obtained online at
http://www.sacdhhs.com/article.asp?ContentID=1786.
The online form is accessed by obtaining a code when you phone your report.
1. The reporting party should fill in the form completely, using the address and telephone
number of their work site.
2. Submit one copy to the child protective agency to which the telephone report was made.
3. Submit one copy to the Health Services Department within one working day (Mail Box #764)
to be maintained in a confidential file by the Coordinator of Health Services.
NO OTHER COPIES ARE TO BE KEPT ON SITE OR FOR PERSONAL RECORDS.
4. Notify the site principal and the director/supervisor of your department of the report.
The person reporting the suspected child abuse or neglect has the option of deleting his/her name
from the copy that is sent to the Health Services Department. However, the Health Services copy
verifies that the reporter has complied with the law for mandated reporters.
The report should be typed, if possible. Make a photocopy and submit the photocopy to Health
Services Department (Mail Box 764).
For reports sent to Children’s Protective Services, the reporting party should receive a written
response from the investigating social worker. This written response should be forwarded to
Health Services Department
(Mail Box 764) to be attached to the Health Services copy of the original report.
CONFIDENTIALITY MANDATES:
Interview at School: When a representative of Children's Protective Services deems it
necessary, a suspected victim of child abuse or neglect may be interviewed at school. The child
is given the option of being interviewed in private or selecting any adult school employee or
volunteer aide to be present at the interview. The purpose of having a staff member at the
interview is to lend support to the child and help him/her feel as comfortable as possible. The
Staff member cannot participate in the interview or discuss the facts or circumstances of the case
with the child, and is subject to confidentiality requirements. (Penal Code Section 11174.3.)
Identity of mandated reporter: The identity of all persons who are mandated reporters who
report child abuse or neglect shall be confidential and disclosed only among: agencies receiving
or investigating mandated reports, the district attorney in a criminal prosecution or an action
initiated under Welfare & Institutes Code Section 602 arising from alleged child abuse, counsel
appointed pursuant to Welfare & Institutions Code Section 317 (c), county counsel or district
attorney in a proceeding under Family Code Section 7800 or Welfare & Institutions Code
Section 300, a licensing agency when abuse or neglect in out-of-home care is reasonably
suspected, or when the mandated reporter(s) waive confidentiality, or by court order. (Penal
Code Section 11167.)
FAILURE TO REPORT:
The mandated reporter who fails to report an incident of known or reasonably suspected child
abuse or neglect is guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by up to six months in jail or by a fine of
$1000.00, or both. (Penal Code Section 11166(c).) Educators who fail to report may also risk
loss of their license or credential (Education Code Section 44421.) In addition, a failure to report
may result in personal civil liability. (Landeros v. Flood (1975) 17 Cal3d 399.)
When two or more mandated reporters have knowledge of a known or suspected instance of
child abuse or neglect, the telephone and written reports may be made by one person selected by
mutual agreement. However, if the selected person fails to report, then the other person is
responsible for reporting.
(Penal Code Section 11166(h).)
The reporting duties are individual. No supervisor or administrator may impede or inhibit the
reporting duties and no person making a report shall be subject to any sanction for making the
report. Internal procedures to apprise administrators and supervisors of reports may be
established; however, they cannot require any employee to disclose his or her identity to the
employer. Reporting possible child abuse or neglect to an employer, supervisor, principal, school
counselor, coworker or other person does not substitute for making a mandated report. (Penal
Code Section 11166(i).)
IMMUNITY FROM CIVIL OR CRIMINAL LIABILITY FOR MANDATED REPORTERS:
No mandated reporter shall be civilly or criminally liable for any required report. Any other
person reporting known or suspected child abuse or neglect shall not incur civil or criminal
liability unless it can be proven that a false report was made and the person knew that the report
was false or was made with reckless disregard for the truth or falsity of the report and, in that
event, the person is liable for any damages caused. (Penal Code Section 11172.)

Department at

Board Policy: Anti-Bullying
BP 5145.4
Students
The Governing Board desires to provide an orderly, caring and nondiscriminatory learning environment
and specifically prohibits acts of harassment or bullying. The Governing Board has determined that a safe
and civil environment in school is necessary for students to learn and achieve high academic standards.
Harassment or bullying, like other disruptive or violent behaviors, is conduct that disrupts both a student’s
ability to learn and a school’s ability to educate its students in a safe environment. Demonstration of
appropriate behavior, treating others with civility and respect, and refusing to tolerate harassment or
bullying is expected of administrators, faculty, staff, parents, students and volunteers to provide positive
examples for student behavior.
(cf. 0200 - Goals for the School District)
(cf. 5137 - Positive School Climate)
(cf. 5142 - Safety)
Harassment or bullying is any gesture or written, verbal, graphic, physical or electronic act (i.e. including,
but not limited to, internet, cell phone, personal digital assistant (pda), or wireless hand held device) that
is reasonably perceived as being motivated either by any actual or perceived characteristic, such as race;
color; religion; ancestry; national origin; gender; sexual orientation; gender identity and expression;
socioeconomic status; academic status; mental, physical, development or sensory disability or
impairment; creed; political belief; age; linguistic or language differences; height; weight; marital status;
parental status; or by any other distinguishing characteristic; or because of an association with a person
who has or is perceived to have one or more of these characteristics. Such behavior is considered
harassment or bullying whether it takes place on or off school property, at any school-sponsored function,
in a school vehicle, or by students, family members or staff.
Students shall be assured that they need not endure, for any reason, any harassment which impairs the
educational environment or a student's emotional well-being at school. Harassment involves unwelcome
comments (written or spoken) or conduct which violates an individual's dignity, and/or creates an
intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment.
(cf. 5145.3 - Nondiscrimination/Harassment) (cf. 5145.7 - Sexual Harassment)
Students shall be assured that they need not endure, for any reason, bullying behavior, including
electronic or cyber bullying, which impairs the educational environment or a student’s emotional wellbeing. Bullying is a comprehensive term that describes conduct that meets all of the following criteria:
is directed at one or more persons;
substantially interferes with educational opportunities, benefits, or programs of one or more students;
adversely affects the ability of a student to participate in or benefit from the school district’s educational
programs or activities by placing the student in reasonable fear of physical harm or by causing emotional
distress;
is based on a student’s actual or perceived distinguishing characteristic (see above), or is based on an
association with another person who has or is perceived to have any of these characteristics;
involves an imbalance of power or strength; and
involves a pattern of behavior repeated over time
Electronic bullying or cyber bullying is the use of electronic communication technology such as, but not
limited to, e-mail, instant messages, text messages, mobile phones, and web sites, to send or post
messages or images to embarrass, humiliate, spread rumors, threaten or intimate. Sending sexually
explicit images electronically, even consensually, may be considered as distribution of child pornography,
and is to be referred to district security and/or law enforcement.
(cf. 5131 - Conduct)
(cf. 5131.1 - Bus Conduct)
(cf. 5131.2 - Use of Electronic Signaling Devices)
(cf. 5131.4 - Campus Disturbances)
(cf. 5145.2 - Freedom of Speech/Expression: Publications Code)
(cf. 5145.9 - Hate-Motivated Behavior)
The District prohibits bystander support of harassment or bullying as it can encourage and/or reinforce the
behavior. Bystander support may be active actions such as, but not limited to, laughter or calling attention
to the situation; or through passive actions such as, but not limited to, watching the situation and doing
nothing. Staff should therefore support students who walk away from harassment or bullying when they
see the acts occurring, who constructively attempt to stop such acts, or who report the acts to a designated
authority.
The Board requires school administrators to develop and implement procedures that ensure both the
appropriate consequences and remedial responses to a student or staff member who commits acts of
harassment or bullying. Staff should provide services or supports to students who engage in acts of
bullying and/or harassment to educate them on the impact of these behaviors on others. Administrators
should ensure that appropriate services or supports are provided to students who report being victims of
bullying or harassment.
The Board requires the principal and/or the principal’s designee at each school to be responsible for
receiving complaints alleging violations of this policy. All school employees are required to report
alleged violations of this policy to the principal or the principal’s designee. All other members of the
school community, including students, parents, volunteers, and visitors, are encouraged to report any act
that may be a violation of this policy. Reports may be made anonymously, but formal disciplinary action
may not be based solely on the basis of an anonymous report.
The Board requires the principal and/or the principal’s designee to be responsible for determining whether
an alleged act constitutes a violation of this policy. In so doing, the principal and/or the principal’s
designee shall conduct a prompt, thorough, and complete investigation of each alleged incident.
Depending upon the extent and complexity of the investigation, within a reasonable period of time
(approximately one week) after receiving the complaint, the principal or designee shall determine whether
or not the student who complained was bullied against and/or harassed
The Board prohibits reprisal or retaliation against any person who reports an act of harassment or
bullying. The consequences and appropriate remedial action for a person who engages in reprisal or
retaliation shall be determined by the administrator after consideration of the nature, severity, and
circumstances of the act.
(cf. 0410 - Nondiscrimination in District Programs and Activities)
(cf. 1312.3 - Uniform Complaint Procedures)
(cf. 1312.1 - Complaints Concerning District Employees)
(cf. 5144 - Discipline)
The Board requires school officials to annually disseminate the policy to all school staff, students, and
parents, along with a statement explaining that it applies to all applicable acts of harassment and bullying
whether it takes place on or off school property, electronically, at any school-sponsored function, in a
school vehicle, or by students, family members or staff. The chief school administrator shall develop an
annual process for discussing the school district policy on harassment and bullying with students and
staff.
The school district shall incorporate information regarding the policy against harassment or bullying into
each school employee training program and handbook.
