731 - SCHOOL SECURITY
The School District of Auburndale acknowledges the need of proper school security and safety to protect the students, staff, and community. The following guidelines shall be followed by all district staff, community members, and all outside of the District guests.Building Security and Safety
All buildings and safety equipment shall be inspected annually by appropriate licensed personnel.
All buildings will be in compliance with DIHLR, State of Wisconsin Codes, and the school district insurance carrier's specifications.
School district identification or reference tags for inventory shall be adhered or placed on all capitol equipment.
The school buildings will be kept free of hazardous materials. Any material that may be considered hazardous will be secured and placed in proper storage.
Guidelines will be followed for car and bus traffic around the school buildings. Drivers will drive cautiously and at a speed less than 15 mph. Cars will park in designated parking spots. School Avenue will be blocked off during times of student recess. School buses will arrive and depart with no students in general vicinity.
All trees and bushes will be pruned so that they will not provide cover to a person that may be hiding or attempting access to a building. External fixtures will be given the same consideration.
During the school day, all entrances shall be locked with the exception of doors that allow entrance into the main part of the building where direct access to the school office is located.
The building will be secure with a system that shall require keys or electronic cards that can not be duplicated.
Upon installation of electronic door locks, non-staff personnel will be issued an entrance card rather than building keys.
Video surveillance may be employed for the purpose of safety and security.
