Security of Building and Grounds

The administrator or supervisor shall be responsible for checking out and checking in keys to school facilities for employees they supervise. Employees issued keys to the buildings are personally responsible for them. Keys should not be loaned to students or others except with permission of the superintendent or a building principal. If an employee wishes to allow other than authorized persons into the school buildings the employee must accompany them to the school and remain until the building is vacated and locked unless prior arrangements have been made and approved by the Superintendent or building principal.

Some buildings may be protected by building security systems. In those facilities the security system should be disarmed during building operational hours. Generally building operational hours shall be:

School year:

Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Saturday 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

(Except Holidays)

Summer:

Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

(Except Holidays)

Employees may be provided security code access to arm or disarm security systems during non-operating hours. Employees provided security access shall be responsible to arm and disarm the system when using the facility during non-operating hours. Employees may not give the security access to other individuals.

Members of the public who have completed a request to use school facilities will pay a fee of $15 a day for the purpose of hiring school personnel to arm or disarm the facility security systems during non-operational hours.
