The Tinley Park-Park District has an established behavior policy relative to inappropriate behavior. Inappropriate behavior is defined as that which disrupts a recreation program/activity or participant facility usage and requires staff to call a stop to the behavior due to its effect on other participants or the ability for staff conduct the program/activity. A tiered approach for consequences congruent with unacceptable behaviors will be used. However, certain behaviors or repeated offences may call for immediate and or/permanent dismissal of the individual from the program/facility. Specific rules may be developed for individual programs/activities/facilities as deemed necessary by staff.

The District reserves the right to dismiss without refund any participant or spectator who violates the behavior management policy. In addition, if it is believed that such actions pose a threat to the general safety or welfare of other participants, the individual or group may risk expulsion from District properties and/or facilities.

This Behavior Management Policy is supplemental and in addition to the District Code, neither of which shall be interpreted to be mutually exclusive. In the event of a conflict between the Behavior Management Policy and the District Code, the more specific provision shall apply.

Appeal

Participants have the right to appeal a suspension or expulsion from a program. Suspension appeals should go to the Superintendent/Manager of the Department issuing the suspension. Decisions after review of an appeal are final and may not be appealed further.
