SUNSET ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 495 NORTH WESTRIDGE DRIVE ‘ST. GEORGE, UTAH 84770 HOME OF THE STALLIONS (435) 673-5669 FAX (435) 673-3544 — | October 1, 2007 Dear Mr. Payne: Thank you for meeting with me on September 28, 2007. This letter is written as a follow-up to our discussion. I feel that we had a productive discussion, and that the issues discussed will be taken care of immediately. To some extent our conversation took place because of allegations made in 2002. In our discussion we talked about the need to avoid physical contact with students, specifically holding students hands and putting your arm around students. I believe that your actions were not intentionally harmful, and were most often initiated by the students. However, this physical contact can often be misunderstood and false accusations can arise. To avoid such misunderstandings it was agreed upon that you would discuss the matter mentioned above with your class and explain its inappropriateness. You also agreed to avoid physical contact with students that could be construed by others as inappropriate. Itis my desire to give these directives in order to avoid any appearance of wrong doing. Failure to follow these directives could result in disciplinary action. Please talk to me if you have any misunderstandings or concerns. I appreciate your willingness to comply with the above expectations. Sincerely, Sunset Elementary ACKNOWLEDGEMENT RECEIPT: | acknowledge receipt of the above letter.
