Board Policy 1250 Community Relations: Visits to the Schools

The Board of Trustees encourages parents/guardians and interested members of the community to visit the schools, view the educational program, and offer constructive comments to the Board.

Besides inviting parents/guardians and the community to open house activities and other special events, the Superintendent or designee shall develop procedures which facilitate visits during regular school days when all visitors must first register at the school office.

The principal or designee may refuse to register any visitor whose acts or presence he/she judges would disrupt normal school operations, threaten the health and safety of students or staff, or cause property damage. (Penal Code 627.4)

To ensure minimum interruption of the regular classroom program, school visits should be first arranged with the teacher and principal or designee. If a conference is desired, an appointment should be set with the teacher for a time before school, after school, or during the teacher's preparation period.

The Board recognizes that under California law, any person whose conduct materially disrupts classwork or extracurricular activities or cause a disturbance on school grounds may be guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to a fine, imprisonment, or both. (Education Code 44811, Penal Code 415.5) When such conduct occurs, the Superintendent or designee may call the police.

Possession of unauthorized dangerous instruments, weapons or devices is prohibited on school premises, on any public right-of-way immediately adjacent to school property, or any other place where a teacher and student(s) are required to be in connection with assigned school activities.
