The Superintendent or anyone designated by the Superintendent or the Board of Education to maintain order in the Northeast Technology Center (“NTC”) shall have the authority and power to direct any person to leave NTC property who is not a student, officer or employee thereof, and who:

• 494630272. Interferes with the peaceful conduct of activities on NTC property;

• 494630274. Enters NTC property for the purpose of committing an act that may interfere with the peaceful conduct of activities on NTC property.

For purposes of this policy, the term “interferes with the peaceful conduct” includes, but is not limited to, actions that directly interfere with classes, study, student or faculty safety, housing or parking areas or extracurricular activities or any lawful activity occurring on NTC property; threatening or stalking any person; damaging or causing waste to any property belonging to another person or the NTC; or direct interference with administration, maintenance or security of property belonging to the NTC.

Any person to whom this policy applies, who fails to leave NTC property as directed or returns within six (6) months thereafter, without first obtaining written permission from the Superintendent or anyone designated by the Superintendent or the Board of Education, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

Appeal Process

After receiving a directive to leave NTC property under this policy, the person issued the directive may request reconsideration by taking the following steps:

Appeal Process: The person may request review of the initial decision by letter to the Superintendent. If no written request is received within five (5) calendar days of the person’s receipt of written notification of the directive to leave NTC property, the directive will be final and nonappealable. If the Superintendent issued the initial directive to leave NTC property, the Superintendent will appoint another administrator to review his/her decision. The decision of the Superintendent or his/her designee will be final and nonappealable.

The Superintendent or person who issues the directive to leave NTC property will give the person to whom the directive is issued a copy of this policy within a reasonable amount of time after issuing the directive. During any appeal process, the person given the directive to leave NTC property must remain off school property unless the Superintendent, in writing, instructs that the directive is to be stayed pending the appeal process.
