§ 1484. Access control and visitor management policy
(a) Each supervisory union board, member district board, or supervisory district board
shall adopt an access control and visitor management policy that, at a minimum, requires
that all school sites and supervisory union and supervisory district offices lock
exterior doors during the school day. The policy shall require that all visitors sign
in at a centralized location prior to gaining full access to the school or office
site. If a school recognizes a need to leave a specific structure unlocked as needed
for agricultural, recreational, or other reasonably practical purposes directly related
to a school’s mission or curriculum, it may justify leaving that structure unlocked
in its visitor policy.
(b) Each approved and recognized independent school shall adopt a written access control
and visitor management policy consistent with the requirements in subsection (a) of
this section. (Added 2023, No. 29, § 3, eff. August 1, 2023.)
