SUBJECT:  VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL  (#3210)

            Visitors may normally be expected to frequent the various schools during the course of the school day.  Since the building principal is responsible for all persons within the school, visitors are required to proceed to the school's main office to state the nature of their business.  Visitations to classrooms for any purpose require permission in advance from the building principal in order to allow teachers the opportunity to arrange their schedules to accommodate such requests.

            The principal shall have complete authority to exclude from the school premises any person whom he or she has reason to believe is disrupting the educational programs, the students or teachers.

            When individual Board members, other staff members, administrators, and teachers visit the schools, they must abide by the regulations and procedures developed by the administration regarding school visits.  [In other words, when visiting a building to which he or she has no District assigned duty, an employee is to abide by the same procedures as other visitors.]
