Ethics and Education
As employees of an educational institution, Coral Springs Christian Academy is held to a higher standard by parents, students, colleagues, and members of the public. We support and endorse a strict policy of respect toward students and expect employees to act at all times as adult role models. In addition, students typically respond better to faculty and administrators and evidence greater levels of respect when appropriate expectations are established right from the beginning of the relationship. Therefore, we should ensure that we do not engage in any interaction or communication that may reflect even the appearance of impropriety or make students feel uncomfortable in our presence. If we are not sure whether a particular comment or action may be appropriate, it is far better to avoid the behavior than risk negative consequences.
