DCSD Summer Summit 2026

Creating a safe, supportive, and professional school environment starts with clear expectations. In this session, building leaders will explore how to move beyond simply knowing professional boundaries policies to actually bringing them to life in meaningful and practical ways. We will focus on how you, as a leader, can set the tone, model expectations, and proactively support your staff in understanding and maintaining appropriate boundaries with students and colleagues. Participants can expect real-world scenarios, guided discussion, and practical strategies that can be used right away in their buildings. We will walk through common gray areas that school staff often face and talk through how to respond with clarity and confidence. You will also gain tools for coaching staff, addressing concerns early, and protecting both employees and students through consistent practices.
