The Board of Education has approved updates to policies and procedures concerning visitors on school campuses. The revised guidelines affect Board Policy 05.3, titled "Community Use of School Facilities," and Board Procedure 10.5 AP.1, known as "Visitors to the Schools."
According to these changes, individuals who wish to walk or run on school tracks, through parking lots, or anywhere on campus during school hours when students are present must check in at the front office. They are required to follow visitor check-in procedures and wear a visitor badge while on campus.
Furthermore, schools have the authority to restrict access for visitors in areas where students are present during instructional hours. These areas include playgrounds, athletic fields, tracks, and parking lots.
It is noted that visitor badges are not necessary when students are not in attendance. This includes weekends, summer breaks, and non-instructional days during the school year.
