PROCEDURE FOR THE INVESTIGATION OF LOST
4.13
AND/OR STOLEN EQUIPHENT
1. A person allegedly claiming to
have lost or had equipment within his/her responsibility stolen, must
report it to the individual in charge of the particular activity so that this person
can conduct a preliminary investigation into the matter.
2. The extent of the investigation
and follow-up may take on varying forms of
procedure depending upon the
value of and the circumstances surrounding the allegedly
lost or stolen item.
3. The person is to be advised by
the individual in charge of the particular activity to
report the matter
as soon as possible to the Assistant Principal or Principal if no
Assistant Principal is available.
4. A written report must be
completed on a form detailing information for the
identification and
description of the article, the time of the noted disappearance,
its estimated value, and any other
information which is deemed pertinent.
5. Copies of the report are then
given to the student, the principal, the individual in charge of the activity
and the police if a police investigation is deemed necessary.
6. The principal, or his/her desginee,
will initiate his/her own independent investigation in
tandem with the individual responsible for the area.
7. If the item is located, a
follow-up of the investigation would include returning the item to the rightful
owner. If the item were stolen and culpability is found to be
warranted against an
individual, disciplinary action is taken either in the form of
restitution or suspension. A parental conference is also arranged.
8. The above process presupposes
that all parties involved are cooperative. If they are not, and the
investigation should prove fruitless, the matter shall then be
referred to the
police.
