                                               Vandalism, Malicious Mischief, Theft**

 

 

Students and citizens are urged to cooperate in reporting any incidents of vandalism, malicious mischief, and theft and the name or names of the person or persons believed to be responsible.

 

Each employee of the district shall report to the principal or other person in authority, every incident of vandalism, malicious mischief, and theft and the name of the person or persons responsible, if known.

 

Principals shall submit a full and detailed report of any vandalism, malicious mischief, theft, or damage to their buildings to the superintendent.  The superintendent shall report to the board regarding major vandalism, malicious mischief, theft, or damage to any school property.

 

The superintendent or designee is authorized to sign a criminal complaint and to press charges against those committing acts of vandalism, malicious mischief, and theft against school property, including textbooks, instructional materials, and library books.  Because incidents of willful or malicious abuse, destruction, defacing, and theft of district property are clearly contrary to the best interests of the district and injurious to the rights and welfare of the entire community, it is the policy of the board to seek all legal remedies against persons found to have committed such acts.  Full restitution for the damage shall be sought from such persons, or, in the case of minors, from their parents.  Certain records may be withheld for failure to make restitution for damages assessed.

 

Students who willfully destroy school property through vandalism, malicious mischief, or arson, who commit larceny, or who create a hazard to the safety of other people on school property shall be disciplined in accordance with state law and the board’s policy on student suspensions and expulsions and referred to law enforcement authorities.
