Adopted:
3005 CODE OF ETHICS AND
STANDARDS OF CONDUCT 3005
4005 4005
Each employee is responsible for both the
integrity and the consequences of his or her own actions. The highest standards of honesty, integrity,
and fairness must be exhibited by each employee when engaging in any activity
concerning the school system, particularly in relationships with vendors,
suppliers, students, parents, the public, and other employees. Employee conduct should be such as to protect
both the person's integrity and/or reputation and that of the school
system. An unswerving commitment to
honorable behavior by each and every employee is expected. Integrity can accommodate the inadvertent
error and the honest difference of opinion; it cannot accommodate deceit or
subordination of principle.
Each employee should conduct himself in such a manner
as to promote a safe, secure, and orderly school environment. Further, each employee’s conduct should
foster a climate of respect at the school and, thus, by example demonstrate
that appropriate personal conduct should be a priority for all students and all
school employees.
Employees shall perform their jobs in a competent
and ethical manner without violating either the public trust or applicable
laws, policies and regulations. It is
not practical or possible to enumerate all of the situations that might fall
under the guidelines of this policy. In
addition to other policies, regulations and approved practices that have been
established covering specific areas of activity (such as purchasing), the
absence of law, policy or regulation covering a particular situation does not
relieve an employee from the responsibility to exercise the highest ethical
standards at all times.
The Superintendent shall develop in Regulations
and Procedures guidelines which address the specifics related to this policy.

3007 DRUG-FREE
WORKPLACE 3007
4007 4007
The
Pamlico County Board of Education believes that work environments must be free
of employees who are under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs, or who
abuse prescription drugs. It is the
purpose of this policy to ensure that all employees are free of these
substances so that they may perform their tasks safely and efficiently. Emphasis will be placed on rehabilitation of
employees who abuse drugs or alcohol so that they may live up to their
responsibilities and the standards set by this policy. All employees should be aware of the harmful
effects and dangers of alcohol and other drug abuse. Specifically, an employee working under the
influence of alcohol or drugs:
A. May create unsafe conditions for other
employees and students;
B. May perform unsatisfactorily and may
adversely affect the performance of those who work with him;
C. May discredit the Pamlico County Schools
and cause disrespect for both the Board of Education and the Pamlico County
Schools among students and parents.
D. May violate the duty of all Pamlico
County Schools employees to serve as role models for students.
I. Definitions
For
the purposes of this policy, the following definitions shall apply:
A. A "Category A employee" is one
whose primary duty includes being a school bus driver, an activity bus driver,
a driver's education teacher, a bus mechanic, or a security officer. Because of the sensitive nature of the duties
of these employees and because misjudgment by such employees may have an
immediate impact on the safety and physical well-being of students and other
school personnel, the Board has established a special category for these
employees.
B. "Illegal drugs" are defined
as controlled substances when used for non-medical purposes and substances
which may affect or alter bodily functions, judgment, or perception when used
for non-medical purposes, whether listed as a controlled substance or not. The North Carolina Controlled Substances Act
(N.C. Gen. Stat. Ch. 90, Art. 5) and the United States Controlled Substances
Act (21 U.S.C. § 801 et seq.) define "controlled
substances" and make them illegal when used for non-medical purposes.
C. "Under the influence" is
defined as being that state when an employee's behavior or performance is
affected to an observable extent by alcohol, drugs or other substances. Without regard to an employee's behavior or
performance, an employee shall be deemed to be under the influence when his
alcohol content level as determined by a breathalyzer or blood test equals or
exceeds the level that constitutes impaired driving in a commercial motor
vehicle under the Motor Vehicle Laws of North Carolina (N.C. Gen. Stat. §
20-138.2).
D. "Abuse" of prescription drugs
or other substances occurs when a person uses prescription drugs or other
substances either without or in a manner contrary to the specific direction of
a physician and where such use affects the employee's behavior or performance
to an observable extent.
II. Prohibited
Acts
The
Board prohibits the following acts:
A. The manufacture, sale, distribution,
possession or use of illegal drugs or the abuse of prescription drugs by its
employees;
B. The sale, distribution, possession or
use of alcohol by its employees while on duty;
C. In the case of Category A employees,
driving at any time while under the influence of alcohol or other drugs.
III. Penalties
for Noncompliance
Any
employee who violates this policy shall be subject to disciplinary sanctions,
which may include dismissal. When
appropriate, emphasis shall be given to rehabilitation of employees.
A. Any employee who is convicted or pleads
guilty or no contest to a felony involving selling, distributing, possessing
and/or using illegal drugs in violation of state or federal law shall be
dismissed. In addition, if a Category A
employee is convicted or pleads guilty or no contest to a charge of driving at
any time while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he shall be dismissed.
B. Any employee who sells or distributes
illegal drugs shall be dismissed. Any
employee who uses or is found to be under the influence of illegal drugs or to
be abusing prescription drugs while on duty shall be subject to discipline, up
to and including dismissal, except that a Category A employee shall be
dismissed in all such cases.
C. Any employee who sells or distributes
alcohol while on duty shall be dismissed.
Any employee who uses or is found to be under the influence of alcohol
while on duty shall be subject to discipline, up to and including dismissal,
except that a Category A employee shall be dismissed in all such cases.
D. In those cases where discipline less
than dismissal is appropriate under this policy and where there appears to be a
reasonable possibility of rehabilitating an employee, he shall be referred to
appropriate programs. After an
assessment and evaluation, the employee may, as an alternative to other
discipline, be allowed to participate in a rehabilitation program as approved
by the Superintendent and at the employee's expense. (This alternative is not available to
Category A employees.) If the employee
fails to complete the program satisfactorily, then the employee shall be
disciplined, up to and including dismissal.
If the employee is found to have committed a subsequent drug or alcohol
offense after entering the program, then the employee shall be dismissed.
IV. Authority
to Test
A. Pre-employment testing
All
job applicants for Category A positions shall be required to undergo a drug
test prior to and as a condition of final employment by the Board of
Education. A confirmed, positive test
indicating illegal or prohibited use of drugs will disqualify the applicant for
employment with the school system. All
newly hired Category A employees, full and part-time, will be temporary
employees pending a review of drug test results.
All
job applicants will be required to read this policy as a condition of
employment and sign a statement of intent to comply with this policy.
B. Post-employment - Category A
employees
After
they have been employed, Category A employees will be required to:
1. Submit to random alcohol and drug tests
without cause;
2. Submit to an immediate medical examination,
including alcohol or drug testing, where a supervisor or other management
employee has reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee is under the
influence of alcohol or other drugs;
3. Immediately submit to alcohol or drug testing
if involved in an accident while operating a school vehicle; and
4. Read
this policy as a condition of continuing employment and sign a statement of
intent to comply with this policy.
In
the event the employee refuses to submit to a drug test as required herein, or
there is a positive alcohol or drug test, and it is confirmed by the medical
review officer that the Category A employee has been using illegal drugs or
abusing prescription drugs, then the employee shall be dismissed.
Testing
of all commercial motor vehicle operators employed by the Board, including
school bus and activity bus drivers, shall include testing that complies with
49 C.F.R. Part 382 and Board policy 3008/4008/8308.
C. Post-employment - All employees
Each
employee shall be given a copy of this policy.
Any
employee of the Board may be required to submit to a drug or alcohol test when
a supervisor or other management employee has reasonable suspicion to believe
that the employee is using alcohol or illegal drugs or is abusing prescription
drugs in the workplace. Refusal to
consent to such testing shall be cause for disciplinary action up to and
including dismissal.
Reasonable
suspicion justifying such testing may be based on, among other things:
1. Observation
of drug use or possession and/or the physical symptom(s) of being under the influence
of a drug or alcohol;
2. A pattern of abnormal conduct or erratic
behavior consistent with abuse of drugs or alcohol;
3. Arrest or conviction for a drug- or
alcohol-related offense, or the identification of an employee as the focus of a
criminal investigation;
4. Information provided either by reliable and
credible sources or independently corroborated; or
5. Evidence that the employee has tampered with
a previous drug or alcohol test.
V. Drug-Free
Workplace Act of 1988
In
furtherance of the goals of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and as a
condition of employment with the Pamlico County Schools, each employee must
comply fully with this policy. Each
employee is required to notify his or her immediate supervisor and the
appropriate personnel department representative within five days after any
criminal conviction or no contest plea involving alcohol or drugs. Employees who are aware of another employee's
on-the-job alcohol or other drug violation must notify their immediate supervisor
and the appropriate personnel department representative. Employees who fail to make such notification
are subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
VI. Confidentiality
Information
obtained through implementation of this policy is intended to be solely for the
purposes specified in this policy and to protect the health and safety of
students and/or employees. The
confidentiality of all test results will be maintained as required by applicable
laws, with only those persons having a need to know being informed of the
results.
VII. State
Law
All
drug testing conducted by or on behalf of the Pamlico County Board of Education
will comply with the requirements of N.C. Gen. Stat. 95-230 through -234.
VIII.
Employees
shall be provided information concerning available counseling, rehabilitation,
and re-entry programs.

drug and alcohol testing for school bus drivers and all other commercial motor
vehicle operators employed by the Board.
Applicability
Persons
subject to this policy include anyone who operates a commercial motor vehicle
in the course of their duties for the Board of Education, including anyone who
regularly or intermittently drives a school bus, activity bus, or other
vehicle designed to transport sixteen or more people, including the
driver.
Prohibited Acts
No
person who is subject to this policy, or any supervisor of such persons, may
commit any act prohibited by 49 C.F.R. Part 382, or by Board policy
3008/4008/8308. In addition, commercial
motor vehicle operators employed by the Board shall not be impaired by alcohol
or by any prescription or non-prescription drug while on duty or while
operating any motor vehicle. Employees
found in violation of this policy or Part 382 will be subject to dismissal.
Procedures
The
administration shall ensure that the collection procedures outlined in 49
C.F.R. Part 40 are met, and that testing, reporting, record retention,
training, confidentiality, and other requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 382 are
met.
Testing
The
administration shall carry out pre-employment, post-accident, random,
reasonable suspicion, return to duty, and follow-up testing for drugs and
alcohol as required by 49 C.F.R. Part 382.
School bus drivers and others employed by the Board for the primary
purpose of operating a commercial motor vehicle shall undergo pre-employment
testing. Employees whose duties include
intermittent driving will not be subject to pre-employment testing but must
undergo pre-duty testing before operating a commercial motor vehicle, and must undergo
all other testing required by Part 382.
Refusal of any test required pursuant to this policy or Part 382 shall
be cause for dismissal.
Pre-employment Inquiry
All
applicants who would be subject to this policy if employed shall consent in
writing to the release of any information gathered pursuant to 49 C.F.R. Part
382 by any of the applicant's previous employers. Before employing any applicant covered by
this policy or Part 382, the administration shall obtain, pursuant to written
consent, all records maintained by the applicant's previous employer of
prohibited acts taking place during the previous two years.
Training and Education
Each
commercial motor vehicle operator and supervisory employee, including
principals and assistant principals, shall be provided with educational materials
that inform the employees of drug testing procedures, prohibited acts,
consequences, and other aspects of 49 C.F.R. Part 382 and this policy. The information also shall identify a school
system employee who will be responsible for providing information on substance
abuse. Each employee shall sign a
statement certifying receipt of these materials.
Each
supervisor responsible for overseeing the performance of commercial motor
vehicle operators shall undergo at least one hour of training concerning alcohol
misuse and an additional hour of training concerning drug abuse.
Referrals
Each
motor vehicle operator who violates acts prohibited by 49 C.F.R. Part 382,
other than provisions governing pre-employment testing, shall be provided with
information concerning resources available for evaluating and resolving drug or
alcohol misuse. This information shall
include names, addresses, and telephone numbers of substance abuse
professionals and counselling and treatment programs. Before allowing anyone who has committed a
prohibited act under 49 C.F.R. Part 382 to drive again, that employee shall be
evaluated by a substance abuse professional and must undergo any appropriate
treatment designated by the substance abuse professional.

American Red Cross or American Heart Association certified responders may use an AED in response to cardiac medical emergencies. An AED will not be administered by anyone without proper training. All AEDs will be maintained and tested in accordance with operational guidelines of the manufacturer and monitored by the Pamlico County School Nurse Program. The AEDs will be housed on school property and should not accompany Emergency Medical Service personnel to a hospital emergency room. A designated AED may accompany teams to athletic events, to be used in accordance with this policy. The Superintendent shall issue procedures governing the proper usage and maintenance of the AED units, in compliance with all pertinent federal and state statutes and regulations.
To the extent provided by law, Pamlico County Schools personnel shall be immune from liability for their acts or omissions in rendering good faith care to someone who appears to be in cardiac arrest.

AUTOMATED EXTERNAL
DEFIBRILLATORS GUIDELINES (Policy 8330)
The following guidelines have been developed to compliment
the Pamlico County Schools’ Health Services Program and response procedures for
managing emergency medical incidents. Current
research indicates that a person’s chance of survival when suffering a sudden
cardiac arrest diminishes significantly without intervention occurring within
the first minutes of an onset of cardiac arrest. This response plan incorporates the recommendations
as outlined by the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, and current
legislation passed by the General
Assembly (Senate Bill 1269)
CONTRAINDICATION OF USE OF AED (with adult electrodes):
PATIENT IS CONSCIOUS
PATIENT HAS A PULSE AND IS BREATHING
SCENE IS UNSAFE OR WET
PATIENT IS LESS THAN 80 POUNDS
PATIENT IS LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD
NOTE: THE YOUTH ELECTRODES WILL BE USED FOR PATIENT LESS THAN 80 POUNDS OR LESS THAN 8 YEARS OLD PROVIDED ALL OTHER CONTRAINDICATIONS DO NOT APPLY

with the exposure control team to identify tasks where occupational exposure
may occur.
The exposure
determination must be included in the exposure control plan and reviewed at
least annually to reflect new or modified tasks and procedures which affect
occupational exposure and to reflect new or revised employee positions with
occupational exposure. 1910.1030(c)(iv).

control team also will ensure that an annual review of the exposure control
plan is conducted and that input is sought from employees.
8333.3 Hepatitis
B Vaccination
3033.3
4033.3 The Hepatitis B vaccination will be
made available to all employees with occupational exposure, at no cost at a
reasonable time and place by a licensed physician or other healthcare
professional or someone supervised by a licensed professional. The tests will be performed at an accredited
laboratory. The vaccination shall be
made available within ten working days of initial assignment but after receiving
the training required by 1910.1030(g)(2).
