While the operation of the DeSoto Parish School Board and its schools is governed by the provisions of this and all other policies, as well as the procedures of the individual schools, no policy manual can list each and every instance of misconduct that is precluded.  Accordingly, employees are cautioned that the appropriateness of certain action or behavior must necessarily be dictated by the nature of the position held by the employee and common sense.  By virtue of one’s education and experience, an employee knows and understands that certain actions or conduct are unacceptable even in the absence of formal policy.  For instance, without the need of a specific prohibition or warning, a classroom teacher should be aware of the impropriety of certain practices such as leaving students unattended, using profanity or sexually suggestive language or bringing a firearm onto campus.  Such conduct constitutes both incompetence and willful neglect of duty and will result in the imposition of discipline up to and including termination.
