VISITORS
(Loitering or Causing Disturbances) The Board of Education welcomes visits to school by parents/guardians, Board members, other adult residents of the community and interested educators, when they fit into the classroom or school routine. In order for the educational program to continue undisturbed when visitors are present, and to prevent the intrusion of disruptive persons into the schools, the Superintendent shall devise regulations controlling visitors. All visitors shall be required to report to the Principal's office upon entering the building. A "visitor" is anyone other than a pupil enrolled in or a staff member employed in the particular school. Visitors may not consult with the teaching staff or pupils during class time without the Principal's permission. The Principal, in advance of the visit, must approve all classroom visits. When a court of appropriate jurisdiction has terminated the parental rights of a parent, the legal guardian must inform the school so that the administration may apply appropriate regulations. The Principal shall seek confirmation of legal custodianship where necessary. No one may visit the school during school hours for the purpose of recommending or exhibiting books, maps, etc., to staff. No person shall be allowed to deliver any address or lecture on any subject unless authorized by the Superintendent or his/her designee. All visitors to the schools must obey regulations prohibiting smoking and any other regulations designed to ensure the safe and orderly operation of the school. All persons violating this policy shall be considered "disorderly persons" and subject to appropriate action. The Superintendent or building Principal has the authority to prohibit the entry of any person to this district’s schools or to expel any person when there is reason to believe his/her presence would disrupt the safety and good order of the school. If such an individual refuses to leave the school grounds or creates a disturbance, the Principal is authorized to request from the local law enforcement agency whatever assistance is required to remove the individual.
