BOARD POLICY 4300

The Governing Board is aware that the manner in which School District employees conduct themselves has an impact on Tucson Unified School District students, their parents, and on the community in general. It is expected, therefore, that administrators, teachers, and classified employees exhibit a high degree of responsibility and conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.

Administrators and teachers are expected to meet the conditions contained in the respective performance appraisals. All employees shall also be expected to:

1. Use time during working hours, and during time on authorized leave, for the intended purposes.

2. Maintain appropriate relationships with students and not use such relationships for private advantage.

3. Distinguish between personal views and those of the District to avoid misrepresentation of the District.

4. Influence professional colleagues without coercement.

5. Represent their own professional qualifications in a true and accurate manner.

6. Perform in accordance with the employee's current job description, performance goals, and authorized directives from supervisory authority.

7. Perform all duties and responsibilities with reasonable care and at a level which is generally recognized in the profession as reasonably adequate and efficient under similar circumstances.

8. With respect to probationary and temporary personnel, perform at a level which, in the judgment of the Governing Board, demonstrates that continued employment, renewal of contract or election to continuing status, as the case may be, is justified.
