UCA §167;53A-11-402 requires public educators to report information of suspected substance abuse among their students to parents. When student substance abuse is suspected, educators will complete a "Suspected Abuse Report" form and submit it to the designated school administrator for referral to parents. The District and its employees will not be held responsible for any costs that may result from the information provided on the "Suspected Abuse Report" form.
Federal and state law preclude disciplining a student for conduct which is a manifestation of his/her disability. Therefore, where a student who has been identified as eligible for special education services engages in conduct which is a violation of school rules or is subject to discipline under this policy, the District’s Special Education Policies and Procedures will apply. The District’s Special Education Policies and Procedures may apply, if the student has not previously been identified as eligible for special education, but asserts that he/she should receive the procedural protections.
