An Educator's Guide to Conflict Resolution Relevant California Education Code Robert Desmond California Education Code contains several sections relevant to employee security. Any person who is not a student of the public school, a parent or guardian of a student of the public school, or an officer or employee of the school district maintaining the public school, or who is not required by his or her employment to be in a public school building or on the grounds of the public school, and who has entered any public school building or grounds of any public school, during school hours, and who is requested either by the principal of the public school or by the designee of the principal to leave a public school building or public school grounds, shall promptly depart therefrom and shall not return thereto for at least 48 hours. A request that a person depart from a public school building or public school grounds shall be made by the principal, or the designee of the principal, exclusively on the basis that it appears to the principal, or the designee of the principal that the continued presence of the person requested to depart would be disruptive of, or would interfere with, classes or other activities of the public school program. Section 35205 School district funds may be used to hire an attorney to provide legal services if the district finds it appropriate.
Any employee assaulted by a student is required to report it to the appropriate authorities.
Any employee who knows of such an assault is required to report it. Anyone who tries to stop such a report from being made is subject to a fine. No actions may be taken against an individual for filing a report of this kind. Certificated district employees may exercise physical control over a student to maintain order, protect property or the health and safety of pupils. This applies to students going to and from school, on the playground, and during recess.
