709. BUILDING SECURITY

1.Authority

The Board recognizes the need to maintain security of school facilities for the protection of the health, welfare, and safety of students and staff members and to prevent theft and vandalism.

The Superintendent shall administer a building security program with cooperation from the building principals and the Director of Facilities. The need for access shall be the underlying principle in determining who shall have keys for access to school buildings and other school property.

2.Delegation
of Responsibility

The Superintendent shall determine who will be issued building(s) keys and who may have after hours access to the facilities of the school district. The employee is required to pay for the cost of replacing keys, locks, or security systems placed in the employee’s care, custody, and control.

Incidents of illegal entry, threats, vandalism, and/or theft of school property, shall be reported to the building principal immediately. The building principal or designee will notify the police as necessary. A report of missing items or damage shall be made to the Business Administrator as soon as possible, who shall in turn notify the Superintendent.

The school district is not responsible for the personal property, money, or valuables of staff, students, visitors or contractors while on school property. All such property is the sole responsibility of the individual owner.
