Perform

any

duty,

not

as

deemed

by

the

assigning

authority

in

order

to

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.
