Perform
any
duty,
not

as
deemed

the

authority
in
order
to
maintain
continuity
where
needed. While the operation of the Lincoln Parish School Board and its schools is governed by the provisions of this and all
other
policies,
as
well
as
the
procedures
of
the
individual
schools,
no
policy
manual
can
list
each
and
every
instance
of
misconduct
that
is
precluded.
Accordingly,
employees
are
cautioned
that
the
appropriateness
of
certain
action
or
behavior
must
necessarily
be
dictated
by
the
nature
of
the
position
held
by
the
employee
and
commonsense.
By
virtue
of
one's
education
and
experience,
an
employee
knows
and
understands
that
certain
actions
or
conduct
are
unacceptable
even
in
the
absence
of
formal
policy.
For
instance,
without
the
need
of
a
specific
prohibition
or
warning,
a
classroom
teacher
should
be
aware
of
the
impropriety
of
certain
practices
such
as
leaving
students
unattended,
using
profanity
or
sexually
suggestive
language
or
bringing
a
firearm
onto
campus.
Such
conduct
constitutes
both
incompetence
and
willful
neglect
of
duty
and
will
result
in
the
imposition
of
discipline
up
to
and
including
termination.
I certify that I have reviewed and understand each requirement and that I am capable of meeting each and every
requirement.
