Maintaining Professional Relationships with Students
HTC expects its employees and agents to maintain a professional
relationship with students, and to maintain professional staff-student
boundaries, recognizing the age and developmental level of the students
served.
(a) Transporting a Student
Employees are not permitted to transport students in the employee’s
privately owned vehicle, unless the employee has obtained the prior
permission of [Principal or Assistant Principal] to do so. Employees who
transport students must have a valid driver’s license and insurance and
must have permission from the student’s parent or guardian (obtained in
writing) to do so.
(b) Taking or Possessing a Photo or Video of a Student
Employees are not permitted to take or possess photos or videos of
students on their personal electronic devices or for non-educational
purposes, unless they receive permission from the parent or guardian.
Student pictures or videos for school-sponsored activities are permitted on
personal devices and HTC-owned devices, with the written consent of the
student and parent or guardian.
(c) Meeting with a Student or Contacting a Student Outside of Your
Professional Role
Employees are not permitted to meet with students or contact students
outside of the employee’s professional role. Employees are strictly
prohibited from using any form of communication with students (including
but not limited to phone calls, e-mails, or text messages) to transmit any
inappropriate subject matter. Employees must avoid crossing a line that
results in an actual or perceived inappropriate relationship.
