HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT POLICY & PROCEDURE ADM-HRR-PL-024, Harassment and Sexual Harassment Policy ADM-HRR-PR-004, Nondiscrimination and Anti-Harassment Procedure IDENTIFICATION BADGES It is expected that all employees, volunteers, and anyone who regularly works in or visits our school system buildings or schools will wear identification badges and abide by the following rules and procedures: 1. All school system employees who work in a school or school system building must wear a Board issued identification badge verifying that they are approved to be in the school system building. This identification badge must be worn so that it is clearly visible to others. 2. Substitutes and contractual employees must wear a Board issued identification badge. Substitute and contractual identification badges will have an expiration date at the end of each school year. If the substitute or contractual employee returns to work the following school year, a new identification badge will be issued with a new expiration date. 3. Wearing the proper identification DOES NOT preclude a person from reporting to the school or school system building reception area. It is still the responsibility of all visitors to that school system building (this includes employees that do not work in that specific building) to report to the reception area. 4. At the same time the identification badge is issued, the employee will receive the identification card and a clip. If the employee wishes to use any other apparatus to display the badge, that is permissible; however, the employee is responsible for obtaining that apparatus. It will not be issued or replaced by the WCBOE. 5. The employee is responsible for the care of the badge at all times. The badge should not be used for other purposes, which may damage the badge or prohibit it from being read by the Kronos (time and attendance) equipment. In no way should the identification badge picture be defamed or altered in such manner that the badge cannot be identified or utilized for its intended purpose.
