BUILDINGS Security should mean
not only maintenance of a secure (locked) building but protection from fire
hazards and faulty equipment and safe practices in the use of electrical,
plumbing, and heating equipment. The
Board requires and encourages close cooperation with local police and fire
departments and with insurance company inspectors. The Board authorizes
the Superintendent to limit trespassing on school property between ½ hour
after sunset and ½ hour before sunrise.
The school properties will be posted no trespassing during these
hours, except for school related events.
The Superintendent can waive this requirement at the request of the
public or school personnel. Records and funds
shall be deposited in a safe place and under lock and key when required. Access to school
buildings and grounds outside of regular school hours shall be limited to
personnel whose work requires it. An
adequate key control system shall be established which will limit access to
buildings to authorized personnel and will safeguard against the potential of
entrance to buildings by keys in the hands of unauthorized persons. School buildings shall
be closed and locked after the last school activity has concluded in the
afternoon except in those instances when there is continuous activity into
the evening, in which case securing of the building shall be accomplished at
the conclusion of such activity. A building being used
by an authorized school or community group in the evening,
or on non-school days, shall be opened for such activity and secured again
after its conclusion. No unauthorized person
or group shall be granted access to a secured building by any employee. Authorization may be granted only by the Protective devices
designed to use as safeguards against illegal entry and vandalism shall be
installed when appropriate to the individual situation. The building principal
is responsible for enforcing this policy. Adoption Date: Amended: |
