Any individual, including any parent or guardian of any student attending school in the Plaquemines Parish School System, who physically assaults or threatens harm to any teacher, staff member or employee of the Plaquemines Parish School System will not be allowed to enter the campus of any Plaquemines Parish school or the grounds of any other facility owned and operated by the Plaquemines Parish School System without prior approval of the principal of the school or the individual in charge of the facility if not a school.

If an employee is physically assaulted or a threat is received at the school against an employee of the Plaquemines Parish School System, the principal of the school or the supervisor of the employee if not at a school, shall immediately notify the School Board attorney at the District Attorney's office.  The School Board attorney, with the consent of the Superintendent, shall send a letter to the subject individual forbidding the person from entering any Plaquemines Parish school campus or the grounds of any Plaquemines Parish School Board facility without the prior approval of the principal of the school or the School Board employee in charge of the facility.  A copy of the letter shall be sent to the appropriate school or facility where the employee works, and the staff of the school or facility shall be notified that the individual is not allowed at the school or the facility.

If the individual is discovered by an employee on the grounds of the school or facility, the employee shall notify the principal or supervisor in charge of the facility immediately.  If the individual has not received the required approval to be on campus or on the grounds of the facility, the law enforcement agency with jurisdiction over the school or facility shall be contacted and requested to assist.  A copy of the letter should be available for the law enforcement officers upon arrival.

The principal or supervisor shall press formal charges of criminal trespass under La. Rev. Stat. Ann. §14:63 and whatever additional charges are appropriate.
