SCHOOL COMMITTEE
BUILDINGS AND
GROUNDS SECURITY
Public school buildings and grounds are
one of the greatest investments of the town. It is deemed in the best
interest of the school department and town to protect the investment adequately.
Security should mean not only
maintenance of a secure (locked) building, but protection from fire hazards and
faulty equipment, and safe practices in the use of electrical, plumbing, and
heating equipment. The Committee expects close cooperation with fire and
law enforcement departments and with insurance company inspectors.
Access to school buildings and grounds
outside of regular school hours will be limited to personnel whose work
requires it. An adequate key control system will be established, which
will limit access to buildings to authorized personnel and will safeguard
against the chance of entrance to buildings by unauthorized persons.
Funds and valuable records will be kept
in a safe place and under lock and key.
Protective devices designed to be used
as safeguards against illegal entry and vandalism will be installed when
appropriate to the individual situation. Employment of security personnel
may be approved in situations where special risks are involved.
