Safety & Equity

Sexual Harassment/Sex Equity/Drug Free Schools

The Indian Prairie Board of Education has formally adopted policies concerning sexual harassment and sex equity.  Use of tobacco is prohibited on school district property and all schools are designated as drug free zones. Copies of these policies are on file in each school, at the Board of Education Office located at 780 Shoreline Drive, Aurora, Illinois and are also listed on our website (board.ipsd.org).  The middle and high schools address these issues further in their respective school handbooks.

Aggressive Behavior

Aggressive behavior is defined as using force, noise, coercion, threats, intimidation, fear or other comparable conduct toward anyone or urging other students to engage in such conduct.

Repetition of aggressive behavior by a student will be documented by the school staff to provide information needed to develop appropriate interventions.  When significant evidence is collected to suggest the existence of repeated aggressive behavior, parents or guardians of the student will be notified.  Interventions for repeated aggressive behavior will be school based and/or community based.  The fact that students with aggressive tendencies receive interventions shall not preclude any other type of discipline from being imposed in accord with other provisions of this policy.

Threats And Safe Schools

With the recent publicized episodes of violence in some schools across the nation, we take all threats seriously.  We caution all students that threats may result in serious disciplinary consequences.  Police investigation, arrest, suspension, and recommendation for expulsions may be warranted.
