Threats and Harassment Statement

For all students to learn and grow, schools much have a safe environment. Current events suggest that ensuring such an environment is a task which requires a strict, no-nonsense approach to any words or deeds, which reflect the violence of our times. Starr’s Mill High School will regard all written and/or verbal threats, implied or direct, toward students, staff members, or school and staff property, as acts of malice and endangerment. The school’s discipline action will be immediate and severe. Incidents may be reported to the police and/or sheriff’s department, depending on the specific jurisdiction.

Plagiarism

Rationale: Plagiarism and academic dishonesty are serious violations of the principles of academic integrity. They represent a form of theft rather than genuine learning, and undermine the learning process. Plagiarism and academic dishonesty demonstrate a breach of character that is at odds with the values and goals of Fayette County Public Schools as an agency of college and career readiness. Students must become adept at gathering information, evaluating sources, citing materialaccurately, reporting findings from their research, and analyzing sources in a clear and cogent manner. Plagiarism and academic dishonesty will not be tolerated.

Harassment

Harassment of any form will not be tolerated at Starr’s Mill High School. Discipline consequences may
range from administrative detention to expulsion from school. Cease and Desist letters may be a method used with all parties as an administrative option for documentation and warning. If you believe you are being harassed, please tell an adult at school immediately.

Student Grievance Policy

Student complaints or grievances may be resolved using the following steps:

1. The student shall present the complaint to the teacher-staff member, counselor, or administrator
with whom the student has the complaint.

2. If the situation cannot be resolved, it is to be presented by the student to (if against a teacher,
counselor, or staff member) an assistant principal.

3. If the situation cannot be resolved by the assistant principal, it will be turned over to the
principal. Final appeal is with the principal. Student grievance forms and procedures may be obtained in the Assistant Principal’s Office.

Starr's Mill Internet Acceptable Use Policy

Internet Acceptable Use (Fayette County Board Policy IFBG)
It is the belief of the Fayette County Board of Education that the use of technology for the purpose of information acquisition, retrieval, manipulation, distribution, and storage is an important part of preparing students to live in the 21st century.

This technology includes computer hardware, software, local and wide area networks, and Internet access.

minors, as those terms are defined in Section 1703(b) (1), and (2) of the Children’s Internet Protection Act of 2000. Such
