SAFETY PROGRAM POLICY

 

 

      Accidents are undesirable, unplanned occurrences which may result in tragic consequences—bodily harm, loss of school time, property damage, legal action, and even fatality.  It shall be the policy of the board to guard against such occurrences by taking every possible precaution to protect the safety of all students, employees, visitors, and others present on district property or at school-sponsored events.

 

      The practice of safety shall also be considered a facet of the instructional plan of the district schools by virtue of educational programs in traffic and pedestrian safety, fire prevention, emergency procedures, etc., appropriately geared to students at different grade levels.

 

      The principal shall be responsible for the supervision of a safety program for the school.  General areas of emphasis shall include, but not be limited to: in-service training; accident record keeping; plant inspection; driver and vehicle safety programs; fire prevention; catastrophe planning ; and emergency procedures and traffic safety problems relevant to students, employees, and the community.
