Except on occasions such as school programs, athletic events, open house and similar events at which the general public is invited, all persons with the exception of school district personnel and students entering the school buildings or school grounds at which they are enrolled are prohibited from entering any school building or school grounds unless they have first reported to the school office and been granted permission to enter the school building or school grounds by the school Principal or his/her designee.

The Principal or his/her designee may not grant permission to enter the school building or school grounds, other than the school office, unless the person seeking to enter school premises has first reported to the school office, signed a log book designated for visitors and presented photo identification verifying the identity of the visitor. Additionally the Principal or his/her designee shall not grant permission to enter the school building or school grounds unless the Principal or his/her designee determines that the prospective visitor has a special need to enter the school premises that serves a legitimate need of a student, school employee, or business need of the school. The Principal or his/her designee shall have discretion to deny requests for entry if, in the sole discretion of the Principal or his/her designee, the prospective visitor does not have a legitimate need to enter the premises. In the event that the Principal or his/her designee determines that the prospective visitor should be granted access to the school premises, the visitor must wear and display a visitor's badge in a manner in which the badge can be easily seen by others. When the visitor leaves the school building or school premises, he/she must again report to the school office, return the visitor's badge and report the time of his/her departure on the log designated for visitors.

In order to ensure the safety of students and school personnel, all school personnel shall be required to report to the school Principal or his/her designee the presence of any person who does not appear to be wearing and displaying a visitor's badge. However, school personnel should not attempt to remove the person who does not appear to be properly within the building or school grounds from school premises.

In cases in which the school Principal or his/her designee is informed that a person has entered school premises without having followed the terms of this policy, the Principal or his/her designee shall approach the person and ask the person to report to the school office for further discussion. If the person refuses to report to the school office and/or if the Principal denies access to the school building or premises and the person refuses to leave school premises, the Principal or his/her designee shall contact the school's SRO officer and/or local law enforcement for purposes of having the person arrested and removed from school property.
