. . . the POWER of Education (A message from the superintendent of schools)
Kevin Harness Superintendent
Meet our Board of Education: In last month’s issue of Our Schools News, I outlined some of the changes that will be occurring at Allegan Public Schools this year. I also opined that “our crew is dedicated with a clear vision for the future.” Another group that is obviously helping to shape that vision for the future of the Allegan Schools is our current Board of Education. If you spoke to any of these seven elected officials, you would find individuals who are committed to excellence and definitely dedicated to providing only the best education possible for our students.

Foreign Exchange Students
Allegan High School has traditionally been proud to host many foreign exchange students from various countries. These students have encouraged cultural diversity among AHS students, and have been a welcome addition to our district. International Student Exchange is once again looking to place students in the Allegan area. There is no cost for host families -- all you supply is love, food, and a bed! Students have their own spending money and insurance. If you are interested in finding out more about this program, please call Beth Herpst at (269) 3034046.

PESTICIDE ADVISORY TO PARENTS Allegan Public Schools has adopted an Integrated Pest Management program. Inherent with this are the district’s efforts to reduce pesticide use as much as possible. While it may occasionally be necessary to apply a pesticide, these will only be used as a last resort. This program does not rely on routine pesticide applications to resolve problems. We use various techniques such as habitat alteration, sanitation, mechanical means, exclusion, etc., to prevent pests from becoming a problem. Parents have the right to be informed prior to any pesticide application that might be needed at your child’s school. The district will provide advanced notification at least 48 hours before any pesticide application, other than a bait or gel (this notification will be in the form of a sign posting at the entrance of the school parking lot and also in a common area located by the school district’s main office). Parents are also entitled to receive this notification by U.S. mail, at least three days prior to any application. If you would like this type of notification, please call the Maintenance Department at (269) 673-2085 and tell the secretary your name, mailing address, and what school your child attends. In an emergency (for example, bees’ nest), pesticides may be applied without prior notice, but you will be provided notice following any such application. At any time, if you have questions or concerns about pesticide use at your child’s school, or if you wish to review our IPM plan or application records, please contact the Director of Operations, Mr. Bill Hammer, at 673-5431, ext. 3003.

Allegan Public Schools’
STUDENT DISMISSAL
Emergency Management Plans
Allegan Public Schools has developed policies and procedures to ensure the safety of students during emergency situations. In the event of an emergency, all school employees’ first priority is to protect students from harm. Below is a brief outline of the some of the District’s Emergency Management plans.
SEVERE WEATHER
Building administrators will be notified in the event of potential severe weather and appropriate precautions will be taken. Allegan Public Schools will remain in session during a tornado watch or warning. If a tornado warning is in effect for the immediate area at the regular school closing time, school will not be dismissed until the warning is lifted. The superintendent or his designee is authorized to dismiss school or retain students in school under such circumstances. Extra-curricular activities may be cancelled or postponed in the event of a tornado watch or warning. If the event is in progress, appropriate measures will be taken to ensure the safety of the students. “Snow Day Cancellations” or delays due to other inclement weather will be announced on most major local television and radio stations. School officials will make every effort to have the decision to close or delay the start of school by 6:00 a.m. In order to keep the phone lines open for emergency purposes, parents and students are asked not to call the school or bus garage to find out if school is in session. Please tune in to the following stations or check the district web site: Television Radio WWMT (TV 3) WKZO WOOD (TV 8) WQXC WOTV (TV 41) WQLR Other stations are also notified through the Area Information System).
(AM 590) (FM 100.9) (FM 106.5) GRAIL (Grand Rapids
If you wish, you can also receive “instant alerts” via text or email from wwmt.com or woodtv.com by visiting those web sites and signing up!
THREATS TO BUILDINGS and/or FIRES
In the event of a bomb threat or any other threat to a school building,
precautions will be taken to ensure the safety of the building occupants. Based on the assessment of the situation by the administrator, students may be evacuated to a nearby site, and/or the school may be cancelled. In the event of a fire, all students will be evacuated from the building, and school may be closed, depending on the situation. This evacuation will be practiced regularly throughout the school year so students are aware of the best evacuation route from any location within the building.
As with any emergency situation, parents should be alert for special bulletins on local television and radio stations and have an alternate plan in place if they are working and school is closed during the day. Parents need to be aware that they have the ultimate authority concerning the safety of their own children. School officials will honor parent requests to pick up their students from school, or keep their students at home, if they feel that conditions are too dangerous to be at school.
Safe and Drug Free Schools
Allegan Public Schools recognizes and abides by the standards of the Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities Act and the Drug Free Workplace Act. These standards prohibit the unlawful manufacture, possession, use, sale, distribution, or concealment of illegal drugs and alcohol in school programs, school vehicles, school premises, and at school sponsored activities on and off school property. Drugs include all controlled substances as defined by law, as well as “look-alike” drugs, steroids, and alcohol. These standards apply to all Allegan Public Schools’ students and staff. The use/abuse of drugs and alcohol poses serious health and safety risks to students. We urge students, parents and guardians to work hand-in-hand with the district to ensure that these important standards are upheld.
No Smoking or Tobacco on school grounds The Allegan Public Schools has adopted a tobacco-free policy. This policy is in keeping with the state legislature’s Tobacco Free Schools Act (PA 140) of 1993. Our policy states: --- ---
This law is enforced by local police agencies. Violations will constitute a misdemeanor and can result in a fine up to $50.
CHEMICAL OR GAS LEAKS
Natural gas leaks occur because of damage to an outside gas line which may be near the building. Chemical leaks occur when a vehicle transporting chemicals is involved in an accident, causing a release of liquid or vapor chemicals. Generally, students will be evacuated from the building in the event of a gas or chemical leak. The building administrator will follow the instructions of emergency officials in charge of the evacuation. In some situations, it may be safer to leave students in the school with all doors and windows closed and all ventilation systems closed down.
Tobacco and tobacco look-alikes (including e-cigarettes) are banned from all public school buildings at all times. (This includes athletic and school-sponsored activities.) All school property, including vehicles and parking areas, is covered by this law.

Asbestos Advisory
The Allegan Public School District complies with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) and conducts routine inspections of all remaining asbestos-containing materials in district facilities. The most recent inspection in the summer of 2014 found all asbestos materials to be in good condition and present no danger to students, staff, or visitors. If and when any changes occur, employees and parents will be promptly notified. Any district parent, guardian, or care provider who wishes to review the district’s Management Plan to find out more information regarding asbestos may do so by contacting Wally Brennan, maintenance engineer, at 673-2085 or calling Kevin Harness, Superintendent at 673-5431.
Student Educational Records Under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), student records are treated as confidential and shall be considered to be for local school use only. Records shall be disclosed only to persons with a legitimate educational interest. Parents (or students who have reached the age of 18) have the right to inspect their child’s school records, and shall be afforded the opportunity to challenge the content of said records if deemed necessary. In situations where the parents of a student are divorced or separated, each parent (custodial and/ or non-custodial) has equal rights to their student’s records unless a court order specifies otherwise. Directory Information Personally identifiable information about current students of the Allegan Public School District will not be released without the consent of the student’s parent, or the student (if the student is 18 years or older), unless the information is “directory information” or the law permits disclosure without consent. “Directory information” means information contained in an educational record of a student which would not generally be considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if disclosed. It includes, but is not limited to: name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, grade, participation in school activities and sports, weight and height of members of athletic teams, dates of attendance, honors and awards received, student photograph and/or video, and the most recent educational institution attended. Directory information may be disclosed without further notice or consent, unless the parent or eligible student notifies the superintendent at the Allegan Public Schools Administration Building. A parent or eligible student has the right to refuse the designation of all or part of a student’s personally identifiable information as directory information, except that directory information may be disclosed to governmental, military, or other educational institutions as permitted by law. In accordance with amendments to Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in August, 2002, Allegan Public Schools reserves the right to exempt from disclosure directory information requested for the purpose of surveys, marketing, or solicitation, unless it is determined that the use is consistent with the educational mission of the school district. Directory Information in the Media The Allegan Public Schools will publish articles, photographs, and lists regarding the accomplishments of its students periodically in publications including, but not limited to: the Our Schools quarterly District newsletter, monthly school building newsletters, the District web page at www.alleganpublicschools. org, various social media such as the District Facebook page, as well as providing information to news media including the Allegan County News. If a parent or eligible student does not want his/her name or photograph published in any of these media, they should contact the superintendent at (269) 673-5431. Page 11
Dangerous Weapons and Assault Policies
Students bringing guns or other dangerous weapons to school and students who physically assault a school employee will be expelled according to the policy of the Allegan Public Schools. The dangerous weapons policy states that “students in possession of a dangerous weapon or firearm on school grounds or students who commit arson or rape on District grounds, in District buildings, or at District or schoolsponsored events shall be expelled from school and referred to the criminal justice delinquency system and the appropriate County Department of Social Services or community health agency.” Students in kindergarten through 5th grades will be expelled for at least 90 school days, while students in 6th through 12th grades will be expelled for at least 180 school days. Students must apply and be approved for reinstatement if they wish to re-enroll at the end of the expulsion period. This policy is in keeping with the state and federal regulations.
Student Handbooks
All Allegan Public School buildings publish student handbooks that pertain to each building. Students are provided with a handbook at the beginning of the school year. These handbooks provide specific information about student expectations, scheduling of classes, student discipline, and a variety of other important topics. Also, each child may receive a copy of the District’s Code of Behavior and Discipline (policy #8100) in booklet form. Athletes will receive a copy of the District’s athletic code. Please read your child’s handbook and make sure your child is familiar with its contents. If you have any questions about any of the rules or expectations, please contact your child’s school. High school and middle school handbooks are also availble to view on our district’s website.
Annual Education Report
Each school district in Michigan is required to publish an Annual Educational Report for the previous school year. This report contains detailed data on the following: • • • • •
State administered student assessment results (MEAP and Michigan Merit Exam) Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) results Teacher qualification information National test results and more!

Section 504 protects children from discrimination
Section 504 is an Act that prohibits discrimination against persons with a handicap in any program receiving Federal financial assistance, such as public schools. The Act defines a person with a handicap as anyone who: 1. has a mental or physical impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities (major life activities include activities such as caring for one’s self, performing manual tasks, walking, seeing, hearing, speaking, breathing, learning, and working); 2. has a record of such an impairment; or 3. is regarded as having such an impairment. In order to fulfill its obligation under Section 504, the Allegan Public School District recognizes a responsibility to avoid discrimination in policies and practices regarding its personnel and students. No discrimination against any person with a handicap will knowingly be permitted in any of the programs and practices in the school system. The School District has specific responsibilities under the Act, which includes the responsibility to identify, evaluate, and if the child is determined to be eligible under Section 504, to afford access to appropriate educational services. If the parent or guardian disagrees with the determination made by the professional staff of the School District, he/she has a right to a hearing with an impartial hearing officer.

Free and Reduced Price Lunch and Breakfast The Michigan Department of Education has announced the household income guidelines established by the United States Department of Agriculture for free and reduced price meals and free milk through the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Special Milk, and Child and Adult Care Food Programs. The income guidelines are effective from July 1, 2015, through June 30, 2016. Families should contact their school, school district, child care center, or family day care home sponsor to find out whether it participates in these programs. All students at Allegan Public Schools will receive a parent letter and an application for free/reduced lunch. Schools, child care centers, adult day care centers, and family day care home sponsors will provide a form for applying for free or reduced price meals. Only one application is required per household. Most participating centers and all participating family child care homes provide meals to all enrolled participants without any separate charge. Adults, children, or foster children who are recipients of various programs such as Michigan’s Family Independence Program, Food Assistance Program, Medicaid, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, or who are enrolled in Head Start, an At-Risk afterschool center, or an emergency shelter automatically qualify for free meals. Households with incomes less than or equal to the following guidelines qualify for free or reduced price meals or free milk.

An application to a school, child care center, adult day care center, or family day care home sponsor can be approved if it contains complete documentation of household income or current participation in Michigan’s Family Independence Program, Food Assistance Program, or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations. An appeal procedure is available for households where applications are denied. Participating schools, child care centers, adult day care centers, and family day care home sponsors accept applications for free or reduced price meals throughout the year. A household may qualify for free or reduced price meals due to a temporary loss of income, such as a period of unemployment. If a doctor determines that a child or adult has a disability, and the disability prevents the participant from eating the regular school or center meal, the school or center makes any substitution prescribed by a doctor at no charge. The doctor’s statement, including prescribed diet or substitution, must be submitted to the food service department of the school or child or adult care facility.
