Technology Center Power to Petition the District Court Regarding Workplace Harassment and Violence

Workplace harassment and violence are unacceptable and should not be tolerated.  Pursuant to OKLA. STAT. tit. 12 §1398, the board of education of the technology center may authorize the initiation of an action in a District Court of Oklahoma seeking injunctive and other available relief to address workplace harassment and/or violence. Seeking an injunction pursuant to §1398 shall not limit any other action or recourse the Superintendent and technology center may have under law and technology center policy.
