Adult-Student Interactions As of January 1, 2018, CA law AB 500 requires schools to share their adult-student interactions policy on their websites. The School encourages positive, meaningful relationships between students and teachers. At the same time, employees must ensure that they do not cross the boundaries of a professional teaching relationship. Employees must maintain appropriate boundaries between themselves and students to ensure that they avoid even the perception of inappropriate conduct. Below is a list of examples of conduct that may involve inappropriate crossing of the boundaries of the professional relationship: Giving gifts to an individual student that are of a personal or intimate nature; Unnecessary physical contact with a student in either a public or private situation; Intentionally being alone with a student on campus or away from the School without supervisor permission; Making, or participating in sexually inappropriate comments; Sexual jokes, stories, or jokes/comments with sexual innuendo; Seeking emotional involvement with a student for an employee’s benefit; Discussing an employee’s own personal troubles or intimate issues with a student; Becoming involved with a student so that a reasonable person may suspect inappropriate behavior; Inappropriate use of social media with or about students; Excessive attention toward a particular student; Swearing or using inappropriate language around students; Sending emails, text messages or letters to students of a personal nature if the content is not about school activities; or Failing to keep parents and supervisors informed when a significant issue develops about a student. The School encourages parents or other members of the school community who have concerns about adults crossing appropriate boundaries with students to inform the Head of School or Chair of the Board of Trustees. The School will not retaliate against anyone who reports conduct that may violate this policy. An employee who retaliates against an individual who makes a report under this policy will be subject to discipline.
