Section 7 Petal School District Police


PHS CAMPUS

A Petal School District police officer will be on patrol at the high school campus during school hours. Periodically, throughout the school year unannounced searches involving a narcotics certified canine will be conducted. All students are subject to search; this includes vehicles, book bags, clothing, etc.



TRESPASS WARNING POLICY



Objective

The objective of this policy is to implement a procedure that will allow us, the Petal School District Police, to protect our students, faculty and staff from persons who exhibit behavior that would constitute an arrest being made based on state law. An example of such behavior would be Public Profanity, Disorderly Conduct, Failure to Comply, etc. This policy would be implemented during school hours, at after school activities and at any location where a school activity is taking place, i.e. sporting events, competitions, concerts, pageants, etc.


Procedure

  • When such an incident occurs, a police report will be generated and given to the site principal. The principal will determine if a trespass warning should be issued.




  • If the site principal determines a trespass warning is to be issued, a letter will be sent to the subject to advise him/her of said trespass warning.




  • A copy of the trespass warning letter will be kept at the school where the violation was committed, in Central Office and with the Petal School District Police Department.


Types of Trespass Letters

  • Letters to the subject with children currently enrolled in school:

This letter would be discretionary on the length of time not permitted on campus based on the site principal’s decision.


  • Letters to the subject with children no longer enrolled in school:

This letter would be able to extend the length of time to an indefinite amount of time. If the subject does not have children currently enrolled, there is no need for that person to be on the campus.


This letter would also be able to extend the length of time to an indefinite amount of time based on the site principal’s decision.
EACH TRESPASS LETTER WILL ADVISE WHEN HE/SHE MAY BE PERMITTED TO RETURN TO CAMPUS.

SUSPENSION OF PARKING PRIVILEGES

Parking privileges may be suspended by a school principal for an indefinite amount of time when contraband is located in a vehicle parked at Petal High School. Examples of contraband are drug paraphernalia, lighters, cigarettes, etc.


DAMAGES TO SCHOOL PROPERTY





  1. A parent/legal guardian of a compulsory-school-age child enrolled in the Petal School District shall be responsible financially for his/her minor child’s destructive acts against school property or persons.




  1. A parent/legal guardian of compulsory-school-age child enrolled in the Petal School District shall be responsible for any criminal fines brought against such students for unlawful activity occurring on school grounds or buses.

The Petal School District shall be entitled to recover damages in an amount not to exceed Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000.00), plus necessary court costs, from parents of any minor under the age of eighteen (18) years and over the age of six (6) years, who maliciously and willfully damages or destroys property belonging to the Petal School District. However, this shall not apply to parents whose parental control of such child has been removed by court order or decree.



SEXUAL HARASSMENT

The Petal School District recognizes reports of sexual harassment as being extremely serious. Any reports of sexual harassment will be investigated fully, and appropriate disciplinary action as well as notification of law enforcement may result from such reports.
