Conduct by a student outside of class which for any reason materially disrupts classwork or involves substantial disorder or invasion of the rights of others is not protected by the constitutional guarantee of free speech. Gifts to School Personnel Board Policy 5133 The Governing Board believes that feelings of appreciation can be expressed in many ways. The Board discourages students and parents/guardians from giving gifts to staff members and instead encourages them to write personal notes of appreciation. When accepting gifts, staff should be sensitive to the feelings of other students and use discretion if gifts are opened in front of others. Infectious Diseases Board Policy 5141.22 The Governing Board recognizes its dual responsibility to protect -the health of students from risks posed by infectious diseases and to uphold the right of students to appropriate education. For purposes of this policy, infectious diseases shall include all those listed by the State Department of Health Services and county health departments. All applicable education and health codes will govern and guide administrative decisions regarding students with identified infectious diseases. The Superintendent shall ensure that all student rights to confidentiality are strictly observed in accordance with the law and policy governing the confidentiality of student records.
