ECAC:
VANDALISM
The School Committee recognizes that acts of vandalism
are costly and require prompt attention which may include educational programs
that are aimed at reducing vandalism.
Every citizen of the town, staff members, students, and
members of the police department are urged by the School Committee to cooperate
in reporting any incidents of vandalism to property under control of the school
department, and the name(s) of the person or persons believed to be
responsible. Each employee will report to the Principal of the school every
incident of vandalism known to him/her and, if known, the names of those
responsible.
The Superintendent is authorized to sign a criminal
complaint and to press the charges against perpetrators of vandalism against
school property, and is further authorized to delegate, as he/she sees fit,
authority to sign such complaints and to press charges.
Parents and students will be made aware of the legal
implications involved. Reimbursement will be sought for all or part of any
damages. The Principal may apply disciplinary action as outlined in the
student handbook.
