Geneseo Park District Policies
NON-DISCRIMINATION POLICY
The Geneseo Park District will not exclude anyone from participation in, deny anyone the benefits of,
or otherwise subject anyone to discrimination because of the person’s race, sex, color,
national origin or handicap except where sex is a bona fide requirement for participation.
If you believe you have been discriminated against on the basis of your race, color, national origin,
disability, sex or age please contact the National Park Service at EEO Program Manager,
U.S. Dept. of the Interior, National Park Service, 1849 C Street, NW (org Code 0008)

PHOTOGRAPH POLICY
On occasion, park district staff may photograph or videotape participants in park district programs/classes,
or at park events/facilities. These photos/videos are for park district use only and may be used in
publications, brochures, pamphlets, flyers, advertisements, website or videos. If you do not wish for us
to use your picture/video, please fill out proper paperwork located at either desk at the Community Center.
If you do not want your picture taken, please tell out photographer.
PARTICIPANTS CONDUCT GUIDELINES AND DISCIPLINE
Participants are expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. They should show respect to all
participants and staff, refrain from use of foul language, show respect for equipment and facilities,
refrain from threatening or causing bodily harm to self, other participants or staff and make sure they
follow all safety rules and procedures set forth by staff. The Geneseo Park District has developed a
positive approach to be used regarding discipline. The Park District reserves the right to dismiss a
participant whose behavior endangers his or her own safety or the safety of others. All participants are
expected to exhibit appropriate behavior at all times. If conduct and behavior is deemed improper then
first step is a “verbal response” to suggest a different type of behavior. The second step is to give
participant a time out and explain this is their second warning and the next time they will have to address
the Manager. After two tries and behavior has not improved it is time to contact the Park District
Management. At this time management will remove participant from the program, talk to
participant, talk to instructor and then talk to the parent/guardian. If behavior is not improved upon
during class participation removal from the program is possible.
