The Oriskany Central School District has a long-standing set of expectations for conduct on school property and at school functions. These expectations are based on the principles of civility, mutual respect, citizenship, character, tolerance, honesty,
and integrity. Staff, teachers, parents, and the community strive to provide the best in educational tools and caring staff that work right along side one another for the betterment of not only the educational opportunities but the pride of living in rural New York.

To this end, the board adopts this code of conduct (“code”). Unless otherwise indicated, this code applies to all students, school personnel, parents, and others.
