    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.
