STUDENTS
Welfare
Bullying
Purpose
The board strives to provide a safe, positive learning climate for students in the schools. The
North Penn School District recognizes that bullying of students has a negative effect on the educational environment of its schools. Students who are bullied, intimidated or fearful of other students may not be able to take full advantage of the educational opportunities offered by the school district. Bullying can also escalate into more serious violence. Therefore, the school district strives to offer all students an educational environment free from bullying.
Definition
Bullying shall mean an intentional electronic, written, verbal or physical act, or a series of acts, directed at another student or students, which occurs in a school setting and/or outside a school setting, that is severe, persistent or pervasive and has the effect, or is likely to have the effect, of (1) sub stantially interfering with a student’s education; (2) creating a threatening environment; or (3) substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.
Examples of bullying include, but are not limited to, physically, emotionally or mentally harming a student; damaging, extorting or taking a student’s personal property; placing a student in reasonable fear of physical, emotional or mental harm; placing a student in reasonable fear of damage to, or loss of, personal property; creating an intimidating or hostile environment that interferes with a student’s educational opportunities; or engaging in conduct that is intended to have the effect of, or has the effect of, demeaning, dehumanizing, embarrassing, ridiculing, taunting, teasing, or threatening a student or group of students.
Bullying, as defined in this policy, includes cyberbullying.
Cyberbullying means an intentional act, or series of acts, directed at another student or students, which occurs in a school setting and/or outside a school setting, is carried out through the utilization of computers, the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or electronic devices, is severe, persistent or pervasive and has the effect, or is likely to have the effect, of
(1) substantially interfering with a student’s education; (2) creating a threatening environment; or
(3) substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.
School setting means in the school, on school grounds, in school vehicles, at a designated bus stop, during the time students necessarily spend traveling to and from school or schoolsponsored activities, and at any activity sponsored, supervised or sanctioned by the school.
CONTINUED
Authority
The school district will not tolerate any act, or acts, of bullying occurring in a school setting and/or outside a school setting that is/are severe, persistent or pervasive and has the effect, or is likely to have the effect, o f (1) substantially interfering with a student’s education; (2) creating a threatening environment; or (3) substantially disrupting the orderly operation of the school.
Delegation of Responsibility
The superintendent or designee shall develop administrative procedures to increase the awareness of the problems of bullying, and train teachers to effectively intervene if bullying is witnessed in their presence or brought to their attention.
The superintendent or designee shall ensure (1) that this policy and the procedures for reporting bullying are reviewed with students at least once each school year, (2) that this policy is posted in a prominent location within each school building, (3) that this policy is posted on the district’s official website, (4) that this policy is available in every classroom (this may be achieved by ensuring that a classroom computer with access to the district’s website is available for student use), (5) that the code of student conduct, which shall contain this policy, is readily available to students and (6) that, in cooperation with other appropriate administrators, this policy is reviewed every three years and that necessary revisions are recommended to the board.
Intervention:
Teachers and other staff (including, but not limited to, secretaries, custodians, bus drivers, hall monitors, etc.) who observe acts of bullying shall take reasonable steps to intervene to stop such conduct, unless intervention would threaten a staff member’s safety. The nature of the intervention will vary depending upon the age of the student (both the victim and aggressor), the severity of the bullying and the student’s involvement in prior acts of bullying. The purpose of the intervention is to take prompt remedial steps to ensure observed acts of bullying cease and to teach students that bullying is not an acceptable behavior.
Guidelines
Student, Parent/Guardian and Employee Reporting:
The school district encourages all students and parents/guardians who become aware of any act of bullying to immediately report that conduct. Students may report acts of bullying to their teachers, building principal or other school employees supervising schoolsponsored activities. Parents/guardians may contact the building principal to report acts of bullying.
If teachers and/or other staff cannot reasonably remediate acts of bullying through their own intervention, they should report the bullying to the building principal. Other school employees who observe acts of bullying shall report that conduct to the building principal.
Investigation Procedures:
Each building principal or designee is authorized to complete an impartial, thorough investigation of the bullying brought to their attention by students, parents/guardians or school employees. Any investigation of a report may include meetings with students, parents/guardians or employees; a review of student records; and other reasonable efforts to better understand the facts surrounding a reported incident.
CONTINUED
Consequences/Discipline:
Consequences for students who are found to have bullied others may include counseling, a parent conference, detention, suspension, expulsion, a loss of school privileges and/or exclusion from school-sponsored activities. Depending upon the severity of a particular situation, the building principal may also take appropriate steps for student safety.
Intervention will be in line with approved student code of conduct.

5144.4(a)
STUDENTS
Welfare
Behavior Management
Purpose
NORTH PENN SCHOOL DISTRICT
The school board enacts this policy to ensure that district staff use appropriate behavior management techniques and that, for each disabled or thought to be disabled student who exhibits behavior problems which inter fere with the student’s ability to learn, the IEP team develops a plan that provides for an appropriate program of behavior management. The purpose of this policy and its implementing guidelines is to ensure adherence by all staff to the requirements of state and federal law as they exist at the time of the adoption of this policy and its implementing guidelines and as they may from time to time be amended and interpreted by the courts and various administrative agencies.
The school board intends that the application of behavior management rules and procedures be applied to students with disabilities in a nondiscriminatory manner and in full compliance with the requirements of state and federal law. The school board intends with this policy neither to confer upon students and their parents or guardians any greater right that they enjoy under state and federal law nor to impose upon the district any greater limitations or duties that are imposed by state and federal law. Nothing in this policy should be construed in a manner inconsistent with intent. To the extent that any portion of this policy or the implementing guidelines is inconsistent with such laws as they now or shall hereafter exist, such portion shall be deemed null and void without prejudice to the unaffected provisions.
Philosophy/Rationale
A. The North Penn School District recognizes that appropriate learning outcomes take place in an appropriately managed classroom. When the behavior of a student with disabilities interferes with learning, a functional behavior assessment will be done and an appropriate management plan will be implemented. Consistent with this policy and federal and state law, all students with disabilities shall comply with the school board approved discipline policy.
B. Behavior management programs include a variety of techniques to develop and maintain skills that will enhance an individual student’s opportunity for learning and self-fulfillment.
Potential causes of behavior problems such as physical or medical conditions, environmental factors, staffing and program concerns shall be reviewed and addressed prior to development of a behavior management program.
C. Positive rather than negative measures shall form the basis of behavior management programs. Positive techniques for the development, change, and maintenance of selected behaviors shall be attempted prior to the use of more intrusive or restraining measures. The types of intervention chosen for a particular student shall be the least intrusive necessary and shall be in accordance with state and federal law. Adverse techniques, restraints or disciplinary procedures may not be used as a substitute for a behavior management program. CONTINUED
D. Restraints to control acute or episodic aggressive behavior may be used only when a student is acting in a manner as to be a clear and present danger to himself, to other students or to employees, and only when less restrictive measures and techniques have proved to be or are less effective. The use of restraints to control the aggressive behavior of an individual student shall cause a meeting of the IEP to review the current IEP for appropriateness and effectiveness. The use of restraints may not be included in the IEP, employed as punishment, for the convience of staff or as a substitute for an educational program. The use of restraints for the convenience of staff, as a substitute for an educational program, or employed as punishment may not be included in the IEP.
E. Mechanical restraints, which are used to control involuntary movement or lack of muscular control of students when due to organic causes or conditions, may be employed only when specified by an IEP and as determined by a medical professional qualified to make the determination, and as agreed to by the student’s parents. Mechanical restraints shall prevent a student from injuring himself or others or promote normative body positioning and physical functioning.
F. The following aversive techniques of handling behavior are considered inappropriate and
may not be used by agencies in educational programs:
a) Corporal punishment b) Punishment for a manifestation of a student’s disability
c) Locked rooms, locked boxes, or other locked structures or spaces from which the
student cannot readily exit
d) Noxious substances
e) Deprivation of basic human rights, such as withholding meals, water, or
fresh air
f) Suspension constituting a pattern under 22 PA Code 14.143(a)
g) Treatment of a demeaning nature
h) Electric shock
G. North Penn School District has the responsibility for ensuring that behavior support programs are in accordance with 22 PA Code Chapter 14, including the training of personnel, for the use of specific procedures, methods, and techniques.
H. North Penn School District must obtain parental consent prior to the use of highly restraining or intrusive procedures
Definitions
The following words and terms, when used in this policy or in its implementing guidelines, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
Aversive Techniques – deliberate activities designed to establish a negative association with specific behavior.
Behavior Management – the development, change and maintenance of selected behaviors through the systematic application of behavior change techniques.
Focused Intervention Planning – a plan addressing a disabled student’s behavioral needs and interventions within an IEP.
Functional Behavioral Assessment – an assessment of a student, the purpose of which shall be to determine the environmental, behavioral, or circumstantial factors that precede or accompany the behavior for which discipline is imposed and the effectiveness of the interventions undertaken to address, or the reactions to, the behavior.
CONTINUED
Positive Techniques – methods which utilize positive reinforcement to shape a student’s behavior, ranging from the use of positive verbal statements as a reward for good behavior to specific tangible rewards.
Restraints – devices and techniques designed and used to control acute or episodic aggressive behaviors or to control involuntary movements or lack of muscular control due to organic causes or conditions. The term includes physical and mechanical restraints.*
* Devices that are designed as postural restraints include:
Rifton chairs (may include seat belts and/or chest straps)
K-Chairs
Ther-adapt chairs (may include seat belts and/or chest straps)
Prone Stander
Free Stander
Adapted toilet seat and seat belt if needed
Hoyer lift
Bike with chest and hip belts if needed
Car seat with harness as needed
Wheel chair with seat belts
Students with Disabilities – shall mean a student who is eligible for special education under the provisions of the Individuals with Disabilities Act and its implementing regulation, Chapter 14 of the regulations of the State Board of Education. For the purposes of this policy and its implementing guidelines, the definition of disabled students include students whom the District suspects or has reason to suspect are students with disabilities and to students who are in the process of a multidisciplinary team evaluation at the time of the incident for which discipline is imposed. This policy and its implementing guidelines shall also apply to “protected handicapped students” within the meaning of Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and its implementing regulation and Chapter 15 of the regulations of the State Board of Education.
As applied to such students, references to IEPs and to IEP teams shall be construed as references to service agreements and to teams of appropriate school staff and parents or guardians that develop and revise service agreements.
Prior to the development of a behavior management plan, an appropriate functional behavior assessment of the student will be completed.
The school board authorizes the superintendent to develop guidelines for the implementation of this policy.

SUBJECT: BUSINESS OFFICE OPERATIONAL ITEMS
MONTH / YEAR PRESENTED TO BOARD:
INITIATED BY:
COMMITTEE:
Steve Skrocki
Finance Committee
JUNE 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend authorizing the Director of Business Administration to make investments, purchases, expenditures, and other fixed school district obligations (such as bids and bid awards) of amounts owed under any contracts previously approved by the Board of Directors and/or approved in the 2015-16
District Budget.
Recommend approval to authorize the Business Office to make required Budget Transfers, should they be needed, as directed by its local auditors upon completing the audit for the 2014-15 fiscal year.
BACKGROUND:
In order to keep all required financial processes operating in the event that board meetings are not held in
July or August when normal decisions have to be made and approvals are needed, the following resolutions are recommended:
1.
In connection with the financial function of the School District, it is in the best interest of the District to authorize the Director of Business Administration the ability to carry out certain fixed obligations and financial investments, both honorably and legally, with the subsequent ratification for such actions confirmed by specific Board action.
In recent years, the District has greatly expanded the number of bids. These bids are typically very routine and awarded on the basis of lowest cost per item that meets specifications. The bid tabulations and bid award recommendations will be provided to the Finance Committee members for a 3 day review period prior to any implementation actions by the Business Office. Any concerns will be dealt with at that time postponing actions until the next School Board meeting if concerns are not resolved.
2.
Request for authorization for the Business Office to solicit bids for those equipment items, construction projects, and other items, in the approved 2015-16 budget, that require formal bidding under the School Code of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
3.
Request for authorization for the Business Office to make required Budget Transfers as directed by its local auditors, should they be needed, upon completing the audit for the 2014-15 fiscal year.

ITEM NUMBER : 44-15
SUBJECT: Copier Contract
MONTH / YEAR PRESENTED TO BOARD: June 2015
INITIATED BY: Steve Skrocki
COMMITTEE: Finance Committee
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval of a 60 month copier lease with Fraser Advanced Information
Systems (Fraser) to provide copiers, service, and copier supplies on the basis of an all inclusive cost per impression of $0.0081 for black and white and $0.041 for color. In addition, a 60 month lease for tracking software, secure print, and swipe card access is being recommended at a cost of $1,499.00 per month.
BACKGROUND:
The district conducted a comprehensive bid for copier service and equipment in 2010 at which time Fraser received the bid awar d. Fraser’s pricing was far superior to other proposals. 88 units are presently located throughout the district. We are nearing the end of the original 60 month lease and have been negotiating an extension with Fraser. A formal bid is not required since the Fraser is on an approved state contract list. The cost per impression will remain the same for an additional 60 months and the district will receive 88 new units starting July 20 th
with the new lease.
The tracking software and secure print /swipe card access is expected to reduce annual volume by a minimum of 10%. This would reduce the annual expense by at least $72,000 in copy and paper costs. The annual cost of the software is $17,988.

SUBJECT: Enterprise Fund Budgets
MONTH / YEAR PRESENTED TO BOARD: June 2015
INITIATED BY: Steve Skrocki
COMMITTEE: Finance Committee
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommend approval for the attached 2015-16 Enterprise Fund Budgets in the amounts noted below and attached to this information sheet.
BACKGROUND:
In the past year, the Enterprise Funds have been taking extensive measures to offset the impact of the retirement rate spike and rising healthcare rates. Costs have been cut wherever possible and fees have been increased.
The Finance Committee has reviewed the financial plans and the proposed budgets several times in detail over the past year. These budgets were reviewed in specific detail at the last Finance
Committee meeting and approval is recommended as follows:
Extended School Care Budget $ 2,089,748
Previously approved fee increases and increased enrollment for the 2015-16 school year will result in a 7.58% increase in revenue that will offset the increases in benefits and pension costs.
School Nutrition Services Budget $ 5,397,998
The Budget is increasing primarily due to pension costs and equipment expenses. All meal prices for 2015-16 are being recommended to remain at 2014-15 levels. More students are purchasing the full meal due to limited variety in a-la-carte items.
Community Education Budget $ 317,836
The philosophy of the program has been to support district needs, when financially possible, in areas that support community engagement and community use of our resources. Over the years, community education has funded many district needs including upgrading of the NPTV studio, website development, community forum costs, board room upgrades, and Bus to the Future costs.
Community education has also supported facility and equipment needs in the pool, and program development in the planetarium. Included in the 2015-16 budget is $21,000 for the development of a district mobile app.
Aquatics Budget $ 262,500
The program fees from each of the three enterprise programs are set to balance their own individual budget.
Community Aquatic Classes – Budgeted expenses are $50,000
Community Aquatic Swim Team - Budgeted expenses are $187,500
Community Aquatic Water Polo - Budgeted expenses are $25,000
