Policy 903.02
Access to Buildings
Security for district buildings and grounds (during regular school hours as well as non school hours) contributes to the well-being and safety of students and staff as well as to that of the sites themselves.
The superintendent will control access to district buildings as appropriate and necessary to protect property, students and personnel.
Principals will control access to school buildings and will provide safeguards against unauthorized access to these buildings. Each principal, with the superintendent’s approval, will develop regulations designed to control the use of building codes and keys and to ensure that buildings are adequately closed and locked when no authorized personnel are present. Staff or students who fail to obey such regulations may be disciplined, suspended or dismissed.
During regular school hours, flow of traffic into and out of buildings shall be closely monitored and limited to certain doors. Visitors shall be required to check in to show proper identification and reason for being at the school and shall wear name tags identifying them as visitors. This will not apply when parents/guardians have been invited to a classroom or assembly program.
Access to school buildings and grounds outside of regular school hours shall be limited to personnel whose work requires it and to sponsors of approved student activities.
