S-G school policies condemn and prohibit all forms of discrimination, bullying, harassment and hazing (all forms of physical or psychological abuse) in school, on school buses, at school bus pick-up sites and at all school-sponsored activities, programs and events. The goal of the Dignity for All Students Act (DASA), which took effect on July 1, 2012, is to provide students with a safe, supportive educational environment. Some of DASA's requirements include establishing antiharassment and discrimination policies, creating school training programs and including a course in civility, citizenship and character education in the curriculum for every grade level. ScotiaGlenville students at all grade levels are exposed to the ideas of tolerance, compassion and respect. No form of bullying or harassment will be tolerated at Scotia-Glenville. The principal and/or the principal’s designee at each school is responsible for receiving complaints of bullying, harassment, discrimination or hazing. School administration will thoroughly investigate all reports of such behavior and will make every effort to protect the confidentiality of the individual making the complaint. If confirmed, such behavior will result in detention, suspension, or other appropriate consequences. WHAT IS MEANT BY BULLYING? Bullying is a conscious, willful, deliberate act intended to harm another individual. The bully uses power through actions or intimidation to cause pain and/ or misery. It can be verbal, physical, electronic and/or relational. Bullying can take many forms; however, the main types are defined as any gesture or written, verbal or physical act, or any use of electronic communication (a communication transmitted by means of an electronic device, including, but not limited to, a telephone, cellular phone or computer) that takes place on school property, at any school-sponsored function, or on a school bus. Verbal bullying: name calling, insulting remarks, verbal teasing, frightening phone calls, violent threats, extortion, taunting, gossip, spreading rumors, racist slurs, threatening electronic communications, anonymous notes, etc. ScotiaGlenvilleSchools.org Physical bullying: poking, slapping, hitting, tripping or causing a fall, choking, kicking, punching, biting, pinching, scratching, spitting, twisting arms or legs, damaging clothes and personal property, threatening gestures, etc. Social bullying: purposely excluding someone from a group, spreading rumors, gossiping, arranging public humiliation, undermining relationships, teasing about clothing, looks, giving dirty looks, aggressive stares, etc. Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR) evaluations All parents and guardians will have the right to obtain the APPR quality ratings and composite effectiveness scores for their child's teacher(s) and principal(s) once the scores are officially available in accordance with state law.

The development and implementation of the district's integrated pest management (IPM) program is the key in achieving pesticide use reduction while providing effective and economical pest control. Any public or non-public elementary or secondary school that uses a pesticide product as a last resort to address a pest problem must comply with the Pesticide Neighbor Notification Law (section 409-h of New York state Education Law). This notice is to inform all neighboring property owners, parents and staff that pesticide products may be used periodically throughout the school year. Neighboring property owners wishing to receive a 48-hour written advanced notice of an actual pesticide application should contact the Facilities and Operations Department at (518) 347-3600 (EXT. 78101). District-wide School Safety Plans The Scotia-Glenville CSD has developed a district-wide School Safety Plan and confidential building-level School Safety Plans for each building as required by New York State Safe Schools Against Violence in Education (S.A.V.E.) Law. This law requires the district to annually provide written information to all students and staff about emergency procedures. As required, the district-wide School Safety Plan was originally submitted to the New York State Education Department in June 2001. Each confidential buildinglevel Emergency Response Plan was originally submitted to the local police and New York State Police in June 2001. The district-wide School Safety Team annually reviews the district-wide School Safety Plan. The building-level School Safety Teams annually review the confidential building-level Emergency Response Plans. All updates are approved by the Board of Education prior to resubmitting them to the New York State Education Department and the local police and New York State Police respectively. The district will provide training throughout the year and will conduct at least 12 fire drills and conduct a districtwide drill to test sheltering plans and/or early dismissal. Tabletop exercises are also conducted to test the building-level team's procedures and ability to respond to various emergency situations. For more informa- ScotiaGlenvilleSchools.org tion concerning the district-wide School Safety Plan, please contact the district's Emergency Coordinator, Susan M. Swartz, Superintendent of Schools, at (518) 347-3600 (EXT. 71101). Availability of the Scotia-Glenville CSD Asbestos Management Plan In accordance with the EPA's Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) of 1987 (40 CFR Part 763), the Scotia-Glenville Central School District is required to give annual notification stating that the Asbestos Management Plan for each building is available and kept in the main office of each building and in the office of the director of Facilities and Operations. These records are available for review during normal school business hours. In addition, in accordance with this act, a six-month periodic surveillance is conducted in each building that contains asbestos. Periodic surveillances are conducted in June and December each year. Before the start of any project, the district will make sure all building occupants are properly notified and all signage will indicate the scope of the project. For more information, please contact the Facilities and Operations Department at (518) 347-3600 (EXT. 78101). Fire inspection reports The annual inspections for fire hazards which might endanger the lives of students, teachers and employees at the Scotia-Glenville CSD has been completed.

The committee consists of representatives from preschool special education agencies, county administrators, parents and the district. All recommendations are made to the Board of Education. More information is available from Pupil Personnel Services, (518) 347-3600 (EXT. 74101). Students with Disabilities All recommendations for placement of students with disabilities are made to the Board of Education by the district Committee on Special Education (CSE). Local programs and local schools are used whenever possible to meet the child’s educational needs. Members of the Committee on Special Education include the director of Pupil Personnel Services, a district psychologist, speech therapists, special education teachers, parent representatives and the school physician when requested. For more information, call Pupil Personnel Services at (518) 346-3600 (EXT. 74101). Parents of a child with disabilities who reside in the district and who are interested in serving on the CPSE or the CSE should contact the Pupil Personnel Services Office at (518) 347-3600 (EXT. 74101). Title IX, Section 504 Policy/ Records Access The Scotia-Glenville Central School District hereby advises students, parents, employees and the general public that it offers employment and educational opportunities without regard to sex, race, religion, color, national origin or handicap or disability. Inquiries regarding this policy may be directed to the Title IX Coordinator/Section 504 Coordinator at (518) 347-3600 (EXT. 72101). Also, all parents and other authorized persons have full and complete access to their child’s student records under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 (see below). Contact the administrator at the child’s school with any questions or concerns. ScotiaGlenvilleSchools.org Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) The federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) allows schools to disclose, without parental consent, certain "directory information" such as a student's name, address, telephone number, date and place of birth, participation in athletics, honors and awards, photograph and dates of attendance, unless parents have advised the district to the contrary. The primary purpose of "directory information" is to allow Scotia-Glenville to include this type of information in school publications (Tartan Report district newsletter and school newsletters) and for publicity of student accomplishments or specific educational programs to the electronic (website, television and radio) and print (newspapers) media. In practice, Scotia-Glenville has historically released only a student's name, grade, honors, awards and photographs in publications and to the media. Other directory information is not routinely released. A similar procedure regarding the release of information on the district website is in place. Parents not wishing information about their child to be used in either district publications or in release to the electronic or print media should write a letter to the principal of their child's school. The names and school addresses are listed earlier in this calendar. The signed and dated letter should state that "directory information" about (name of student) should not be released under FERPA. You do not need to give a reason. Any questions about this procedure may be directed to Robert Hanlon, Communications Coordinator, at (518) 347-3600 (EXT. 71111). This letter must be sent to the building principal annually by October 1. Student Immunization Requirements All parents are reminded of immunization requirements for school entry. Education Law requires that all students entering grades 2, 4, 7 and 10, as well as ALL new students entering any grade, must have a physical examination. The exam is considered valid if the date of the exam is within ONE YEAR prior to the start of the school year in which the physical exam is required. This may be done by the family doctor or school physician. All parents of Scotia-Glenville students are reminded of immunization requirements for school entry. Children must be immunized against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, polio, varicella (chicken pox), measles, mumps, rubella and hepatitis B. A record of immunizations, signed by a health care provider, is required for registration.
