Florida Riverboat Parties Too Loud for Residents (December 15, 1999). The Sun Sentinel reports that Highland Beach residents filed complaints against a river boat hosting parties while sailing the Intracoastal Waterway. Residents have asked the city administration to step in and help reduce noise levels. The city has a noise ordinance. Note that noise and boat movements can disturb bird populations. Stay away from posted bird nesting sites. All of the other provisions mentioned above in residential complaints also apply to commercial noise complaints. An editorial says that banning jet skis in some Washington lakes makes sense (July 13, 1998). The Colombian published an editorial claiming that jet-ski bans make sense in some of Washington`s lakes.
In national parks and other important natural areas, jet skis are not appropriate, according to the editorial. But on other lakes, such as Lake Lacamas near Vancouver, Washington, seaplanes and motorboats have already broken the silence and residential developments have removed much of the old natural environment. On these lakes, the editorial argues, jet skis should only be banned if they are proven to be harmful to the environment. According to Virginia`s 8VAC20-131-220 accreditation standards, „professional teaching staff is responsible for providing pedagogically rational instruction in an atmosphere of mutual respect and courtesy.” Teachers are responsible for establishing and maintaining a safe and supportive environment that is developmentally and culturally appropriate and promotes students` academic, behavioral and social-emotional development. Developing positive relationships with students based on mutual trust and respect has been shown to have some of the highest positive effects on student achievement and behaviour. The Constitution and laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of Virginia grant students many rights and freedoms. The school board`s policies and regulations also offer students many privileges, depending on their age and maturity. Students may exercise these rights and privileges as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others or the ability of schools to provide a safe learning environment. Letter to the Editor dismisses airfoils as a nuisance and danger to fishermen, wildlife and local residents (October 15, 1999). Sarasota Herald-Tribune prints a letter to the editor of a man in Brandenton, Florida, who is concerned about the impact of airboats. He says their noise and intrusion is a problem for local residents, wildlife and fishermen. In addition, he says that the decibel-based ordinance adopted in a neighbouring community is unenforceable.
A resident of Homosassa, Florida, says the boat launch – intended for noise restrictions – should stay because it benefits many more people than it overnight (December 9, 1999). The St. Petersburg Times printed several letters to the editor, one of which concerned noise. A resident of Homosassa, Florida, says a boat launch that has been proposed restrictions on because of noise complaints benefits far more people than it drowns. He says the owners near the ramp knew it was there and chose to live there anyway.

Fraud and Plagiarism – Students are responsible for not giving or receiving written, oral, or other assistance for tests, exams, final assessments, or class tests that are to be assessed as one person`s work. Fraud involves giving or receiving a computer file, program, part of a program, or other computer information without specific instructions or permission from the teacher.

Maryland`s waterways should have speed and noise limits (July 23, 1997). The capital published an editorial saying speed limits should be imposed on Maryland`s Severn, South and Magothy rivers, and that noise limits for rivers should also be strictly enforced. Title IX Sexual Harassment – Sexual harassment under Title IX („Title IX Sexual Harassment”) is misconduct based on sex that meets one of the following conditions: 1. a PWCS employee provides or offers assistance, benefit or service of PWCS to a person in exchange for the person`s participation in sexual conduct; 2. a student or staff member is the victim of undesirable conduct so serious, pervasive and objectively offensive that he or she is denied equal access to a PWCS educational program or activity; or 3. Dating violence, domestic violence, sexual assault or criminal harassment as defined in the Code and U.S. Regulation 738-1. Title IX is a federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, including harassment, in schools. Title IX Allegations of sexual harassment are dealt with under Policy 738-1, „Resolution of Allegations of Sexual Misconduct Against Students.” Conduct of a sexual nature that negatively affects a student, staff member or educational process, but does not meet this definition in Title IX of sexual harassment, may also be subject to disciplinary action under the COB. Students who believe they have been sexually harassed or abused because of their gender or gender stereotypes are encouraged to report the matter to the principal or the Department of Justice and Student Relations at TitleIXEquity@pwcs.edu or 571-374-6839. Many migratory birds are easily stressed and particularly vulnerable during their migratory period. Birds usually fly away from disturbing noises and any unnecessary expenditure of energy can harm a bird that is feeding or resting.
Bird colonies are particularly sensitive to noise from boats, including personal watercraft. Nesting birds can fly out of the nest and expose unprotected eggs and juveniles to the heat of the sun or predators. National Park Service proposed boat ban (July 8, 1998). The New York Times reports that boats such as jet skis could be banned in all national parks due to safety, noise and environmental concerns under rules proposed by the National Park Service.
