Policy code was changed from KK to KI by Kerry Schaper 3/21/01.

The Board of Education encourages parents and other citizens of the District to visit classrooms, activities, and functions at any time to observe the work of the schools. The Board of Education believes that there is no better way for the public to learn what the schools are actually doing.

All visitors to the schools shall report to the school office when entering, show proper identification, sign in, and give the reason for being at the school. This will not apply when parents/guardians have been invited to a classroom or assembly program.

A visitor means anyone who is not a full- or part-time employee at that school site (e.g., central office administrator or other staff, volunteer, parent(s)/guardian(s) visiting for a purpose other than classroom or assembly program).

To promote the general health, welfare, and well-being of all who enter school property, and pursuant to state law, smoking, chewing, or any use of tobacco products by staff, students, or visitors is prohibited at all times on all school property.

The District shall notify the public in an appropriate manner that persons violating the criminal law by using, selling, or distributing any controlled substance on school grounds, on school buses transporting students, or within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of the school grounds shall be subject to enhanced criminal penalties.
