SAFETY PROGRAM
The Board recognizes the necessity for a planned safety program to create a safe environment for the students attending, and for the professional and support staff employed by the school district. The maintenance of healthful and safe conditions throughout the school district is a responsibility shared by the Board, superintendent and all professional and support staff. 

Every attempt will be made to meet safety and health standards established by state and federal laws and regulations. The cooperation of school, home and community in providing a safe and healthful environment is encouraged by the Board. 

Safe practices will be a scheduled part of instruction in the classrooms, laboratories and school shops. Proper supervision of students and other citizens using the school facilities will be required. Hazardous conditions indicated by inspectors will be reported to the Board and corrected. Each building administrator will develop and implement a safety program, report hazardous conditions to the superintendent and hold employees and students responsible for the observance of all safety rules and procedures.

The district will fully utilize federal, state and local violence prevention programs and resources available to students, teachers or staff that the district determines are necessary and cost effective for the school district. By July 1, 2001, the superintendent will designate a school safety coordinator who will have a thorough knowledge of such programs.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
To promote the health and safety of the students, staff and patrons of the district, and to ensure the environment is reasonably protected from hazardous materials, the Board of Education of the Chillicothe R-II School District directs the administration under the guidance of the superintendent to develop procedures which address the purchase, storage, handling, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials for all school facilities and operations of the district. Emergency response actions and evacuation plans will also be coordinated with the procedures. 

Hazardous materials shall be defined as any substance specifically designated as such by state or federal law, or any other substance or mixture of substances which may be explosive, ignitable, corrosive, reactive and/or toxic. 

The procedures developed by the administration shall comply with all local, state and federal laws and regulations which pertain to the proper management of hazardous materials. The superintendent or designee is responsible for identifying any substances which may be hazardous, and ensuring such substances are properly disposed in a state-approved facility or landfill. When necessary, the district shall contact the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and/or the Waste Management Program of the Missouri Department of Natural Resources in order to obtain relevant information regarding hazardous waste management. 

District personnel will be encouraged to make less dangerous substitutions for hazardous substances to the extent possible and to minimize quantities of such substances generated by the school district. In addition, district employees shall follow the procedures developed by the administration and shall take the necessary precautions recommended by manufacturers' warnings when handling or transporting hazardous materials.

Asbestos
The district shall survey and assess the exposure of friable asbestos in all buildings. This report shall be filed with appropriate state agencies, and will be available for public review in the superintendent's office. The district shall take all steps necessary to comply with the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act, as described in regulations of the EPA. 

Lead Contamination Inspection
The district shall monitor the periodic collection of drinking water samples from all sources in the district by the Missouri Department of Health, and shall review the results from the EPA-certified laboratory that performs the tests, when the results become available. 

The Board shall assist the Department of Health in any way necessary to assure that any testing program mandated by law is completed within the time frame allowed, and will act immediately to secure funding for the repair of drinking water sources that do not meet federal standards, or for the disconnection of the sources. Pipes that contain lead soldering shall be repaired using a non-lead solder, and water coolers that are found to contain lead in the lining of their tanks will be repaired or replaced. The Board shall encourage continued periodic inspections of district drinking water sources constructed before 1987.

ACCIDENT RESPONSE AND PREVENTION
The school district shall be responsible for providing first aid or emergency treatment for students or members of the professional and/or support staff in cases of sudden illness or injury. Further medical attention to students in case of emergency is the responsibility of the student's parents/guardians or their designee.

Each principal is charged with providing for the immediate care of ill or injured persons within his or her area of supervision. A designated staff member will administer emergency aid. Procedures for handling emergencies will be established and made known to the staff in each school.

Accident Reports
In order that proper measures may be taken to avoid recurrence of accidents, written reports will be prepared on all accidents occurring on school premises or at a school-sponsored activity of the school district. The Board will receive reports on serious accidents and periodic statistical reports on the number and types of accidents occurring in the schools. 

Eye Protection
Eye protective devices designed to provide protection for the hazards involved and to meet standards specified by state law will be provided by the school district. These devices may be issued to the students or provided at work stations for individual activities. If the devices are issued to the students, principals are authorized to charge students for loss, damage or failure to return any device issued.

DO NOT RESUSCITATE (DNR) ORDERS
The health and safety of all students of the school district are of vital concern to the Board. Therefore, it is the policy of the Board that all staff members will provide first aid or emergency treatment to students in the case of sudden illness or injury to the best of their ability, given the extent of their knowledge and training. School medical personnel and emergency medical resources available in the community will be used. Implementation of a "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) order is not consistent with this policy.

When a student with special health needs is enrolled, an Individualized Health Plan (IHP) shall be prepared and reviewed at least annually as part of the Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for students with disabilities.

Should any student's parent/guardian and physician present the district with a written DNR order, the IEP committee will be convened as soon as practical to review the student's current program and placement to determine appropriateness. Specialist consultations shall be obtained as appropriate. 

In the unlikely event that parent and physician can demonstrate to the IEP Committee that special circumstances justify alternate life-sustaining approaches, an individually designed medical resuscitation plan may be incorporated into the IHP for life-threatening situations. This plan shall not deny all life-sustaining activities, but may describe emergency procedures appropriate to the individual student. Specialists shall be included in development of the plan and in training for implementation as needed. 

It is the intent of the Board that the underlying principle of any response to a DNR order shall be that no student is to be denied the fullest genuine, appropriate efforts to preserve life and health.

EMERGENCY PLANS/SAFETY DRILLS
(Districts Not Required T o Hold Earthquake Drills)
The superintendent has the responsibility for developing and maintaining the district's emergency preparedness plans. Emergency preparedness drills (fire, severe weather, tornado, bus evacuation, bomb threat, or civil emergency) will be developed by the superintendent in cooperation with the building principals. A sufficient number of drills will be conducted in each building to give instruction and practice in proper actions by staff and students. The decision for calling and executing drills will be the responsibility of the superintendent and/or the building principal. The district shall maintain close cooperation with other community agencies (fire department, law enforcement officials and civil defense personnel) in a continued program of preparedness. 

Students and staff members shall be retained at the school buildings during actual emergency conditions for safety reasons. Parents/Guardians are urged not to come to the school premises to pick up their children. Buses will not be made available for transportation until authorized by the superintendent or designee. During actual emergency conditions, civil defense vehicles, ambulances, firefighting units, law enforcement, and other authorized vehicles will have priority in the vicinity of the schools. 

Disaster Plans
It shall be the responsibility of the building principal, in cooperation with the appropriate emergency preparedness officials, to determine shelter areas in the school building which are best suited for the protection of students from severe storms, tornadoes or situations involving a civil defense emergency. The procedures to be followed in these situations shall be posted near the door in each classroom. School will not be dismissed during tornado warnings or civil defense alerts. 

Fire Safety Procedures
It shall be the responsibility of the building principal, in cooperation with appropriate fire department officials, to prepare a fire drill emergency exit plan for the school building. The plan should permit pupils to leave the building safely and without delay. An exit plan will be posted near the door in each classroom. Instruction in fire drills shall be given early in the school year, and drills shall be held regularly throughout the year. 

All school buildings in the district which require stationary fire escapes as defined in state law shall be equipped with the appropriate iron or steel stair or fire escapes.

BUILDING AND GROUNDS SECURITY
The patrons of the school district have provided the district with facilities for the education of their youth through the support of their tax dollars. It is the responsibility of the Board of Education, administration, professional and support staff members, and students to see that these facilities are cared for, used properly and treated with respect. The superintendent, with the counsel of the administrative staff, will establish procedures for the proper use of school facilities to guard against damage or loss of school property by theft, vandalism or misuse. These procedures will include preventive measures, as well as clear steps to follow when school property has been taken or damaged. 

The superintendent and the administrative staff will see that all professional and support staff know and respond to the proper procedures for the use and care of school property and report correctly when property has been taken or damaged. 

Access to school buildings and grounds outside regular school hours will be granted only to authorized personnel. An adequate key control system shall be established that will prevent the potential entrance of unauthorized persons. 

All records of existing or proposed security systems and structural plans for property owned or leased by the district will be considered closed to the extent that disclosure would threaten public safety, as allowed by law. The public interest in nondisclosure outweighs the public interest in disclosure because the disclosure of these records would impair the district's ability to protect the security or safety of persons or real property. 

When special events or activities are scheduled, the principal may request permission from the superintendent to employ special law enforcement services to give extra help in protecting school property. 

Firearms and Other Weapons
No person shall carry a firearm, a concealed weapon or any other weapon readily capable of lethal use into any school, onto any school transportation or onto the premises of any function or activity sponsored or sanctioned by the district, except for authorized law enforcement officials. Adults and students may possess weapons on school property for the limited purpose of facilitating or participating in a school-sanctioned firearm-related event, as long as the weapons are not concealed and the weapons are not carried onto school transportation or onto the premises of any other school or school-sponsored activity. School officials are prohibited from authorizing any person to bring weapons on school property or to school activities, including concealed weapons, beyond the exceptions stated in this policy. 

Any person who possesses a weapon in violation of this policy will be asked to leave. In addition, district administrators may report the incident to law enforcement officials, ban the person from school property or school events in accordance with policy KK or seek other legal remedies. Possession of weapons by students is governed by policy JFCJ and regulation JG-R.

Vandalism
The Board shall seek all legal redress against persons found to have committed incidents of willful or malicious abuse, destruction, defacing and/or theft of the property of the Chillicothe R-II School District.

District patrons, students and members of the staff are urged by the Board to cooperate in reporting incidents of vandalism to property belonging to the district, as well as the name(s) of the person or persons believed to be responsible. 

The superintendent and/or principal shall be authorized to sign a complaint, press charges and pursue civil action against perpetrators of vandalism to school property. Restitution for the damages caused will be sought from such persons -- and, in the case of minors, from their parents/guardians -- under the laws of this state. Students found guilty of willfully defacing or injuring any school property shall pay for the damages caused thereby and may be suspended or expelled as provided by law.

TRAFFIC AND PARKING CONTROLS
Driving and parking on school property are privileges granted by the Board of Education to persons who have reasons to be in the schools or on the school property of the Chillicothe R-II School District. 

The school administration will develop, with the aid of local traffic authorities, a plan for accommodating the flow of traffic on school roadways, and any necessary accompanying traffic regulations. The administrative staff will have the responsibility for the assignment of parking areas to staff, students and visitors to the schools. Convenient parking areas will be designated for persons with disabilities.

Resident students living three and one-half miles or more from school will be entitled to free transportation to and from school. The Board of Education may also provide transportation to resident students who live less than three and one-half miles from school. 

Transportation for a student with a disability will be provided if the IEP team determines that such transportation is necessary as a related service due to the student's disability.

The superintendent shall ensure that the transportation services of the district meet all state and federal laws as well as other requirements of the Board of Education. Students may be transported in leased vehicles, private vehicles, common carriers or other contracted transportation as allowed by law and permitted by the Board. All district employees or other persons who drive district owned or district-leased transportation or who transport students in private vehicles as an agent for the district must meet applicable state and federal laws as well as district policies and procedures. 

The superintendent will present to the Board a plan for student transportation services for the district no later than the end of October of each year for initial approval and no later than the end of June for the final approval of modifications made during the school year. The plan should follow the procedures set by the State Board of Education. 

Transportation Records and Reports
The superintendent or designee shall provide for the proper accounting of student transportation records and reports in the school district and shall be responsible for preparing and submitting to the State Board of Education the necessary reports for apportioning state transportation aid, in addition to reports for statistical purposes and for the proper maintenance and administration of the district’s transportation services. 

District Transportation Safety
School officials must provide safe transportation of district students to and from school. Drivers, students and district personnel will follow all laws and district policies and procedures. District vehicles carrying students will be considered extensions of the school environment. Any student whose conduct on district transportation is improper or jeopardizes the safety of other students may be suspended from district transportation services and may be disciplined in accordance with district policy. Uniform rules of conduct and disciplinary measures will be enforced. Students with disabilities will be disciplined according to law. 

Access to all district transportation is limited to authorized riders and staff. All district staff and drivers shall report any instance of trespass to appropriate administrators and law enforcement agencies.

SCHOOL BUS SCHEDULING AND ROUTING
Bus routes, schedules and stops will be developed under the direction of the superintendent following procedures set by the State Board of Education. The purpose of bus scheduling and routing will be to achieve maximum service with a minimum fleet of buses and to render reasonable and equal service to all eligible students. 

School bus routes will be approved by the Board no later than October for initial approval, and no later than June for the final modifications made during the school year. Bus routes will follow the most direct roads practicable for bus travel to serve those students entitled to transportation service. Where an alternate route may be selected without sacrifice of efficiency or economy, preference will be given to that route serving the largest number of students more directly.

Routes will be designed to eliminate as many turn-around points as possible and to employ as nearly as practicable the full carrying capacity for each bus trip. No bus will be overloaded. New routes will be established only when capacity of the existing routes has been reached or is imminent. 

Authorized bus stops will be located at convenient intervals for students and in places where students may board and get off, cross highways and await arrival of buses with the utmost safety permitted by highway conditions. The location of the students' residences, the age and grade of the students, the road conditions and the funds available will be considered when determining bus routes. 

Students will ride their assigned buses, getting on and getting off at their regularly assigned stops, unless a note from their parent or guardian authorizes students to depart at other than their regular stop or to ride a bus other than their assigned bus. Notes will be subject to approval by the superintendent or designee. In unusual or emergency situations, parents/guardians may request to have their child picked up or dropped off at a different spot by directly communicating to the superintendent or designee.

FOOD SERVICES MANAGEMENT
The food services program provided by the school district is designed to provide wholesome and appetizing school meals to district students. School meals contribute to good nutrition, which is vital to mental and physical growth during the formative years. As such, the food services program operates as an integral part of the total school program. 

Program leadership, direction and supervision at all levels are the responsibilities of a trained staff. The superintendent, in cooperation with the director of food services, is charged with administering the total program, implementing Board policy as it pertains to school food services and making recommendations pertaining to the program and food services personnel to the Board. Food services personnel in the schools will be directly responsible to the director of food services in the district and the building principal. 

The principal of each school shall administer the program in the particular school and shall maintain discipline in the cafeteria or lunchroom. In addition, the principal will require correlation between the district's health instruction and the food services program. The school food services program will be operated on a non-profit basis and will comply with all rules and procedures pertaining to health, sanitation, internal accounting procedures and service of foods. The district will meet all state and federal requirements necessary for participation in state and federal meal programs. All school food services receipts must flow through the district chart of accounts and be used only to pay allowable food services costs, in accordance with law. 

Meal prices shall be established annually by the Board of Education.

When food services facilities are used by outside agencies, an adequate fee approved by the Board will be charged. If facilities are used for other than the regular program, the manager will ensure that no supplies provided for the regular program or USDA commodities are used.

FREE AND REDUCED-COST FOOD SERVICES
School officials will determine student eligibility based on guidelines established under the national school lunch program and state and federal law. Eligible students will be provided nutritionally acceptable meals, snacks and milk free or at a reduced cost if state and federal resources for school food programs are available. The superintendent or designee may establish rules and procedures as needed to accomplish this goal.

The criteria for determining a student's need and the procedures for securing free and reduced-cost lunches for the student will be outlined and published each year by the district. The criteria and procedures are established at the state and federal level. 

The district will establish a school breakfast program or will adopt a resolution requesting a waiver excusing the district from this requirement, in accordance with law. The resolution, if adopted, will be filed with the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education. The students who participate in the free or reduced-cost meals program will not be overtly identified, distinguished or served differently than other students and will have the same choice of meals or milk as other students. The district may charge all students for à la carte menu items. The names of students receiving free and reduced-cost meals will be kept confidential and will only be released to district personnel or persons administering the district's program on a need-to know basis, in accordance with law.

TECHNOLOGY USAGE
The Chillicothe R-II School District recognizes the educational and professional value of electronics-based information technology, both as a means of access to enriching information and as a tool to develop skills that students need. 

The district's technology exists for the purpose of maximizing the educational opportunities and achievement of district students. The professional enrichment of the staff and Board and increased engagement of the students' families and other patrons of the district are assisted by technology, but are secondary to the ultimate goal of student achievement. 

Use of technology resources in a disruptive, manifestly inappropriate or illegal manner impairs the district’s mission, squanders resources and shall not be tolerated. Therefore, a consistently high level of personal responsibility is expected of all users granted access to the district’s technology resources. Development of students' personal responsibility is itself an expected benefit of the district technology program. 

Definitions

For the purposes of this policy and related regulation, procedures and forms, the following terms are defined:

  • User -- any person who is permitted by the district to utilize any portion of the district’s technology resources including, but not limited to, students, employees, school Board members and agents of the school district.
  • User Identification (ID) -- any identifier that would allow a user access to the district’s technology resources or to any program including, but not limited to, e-mail and Internet access. Password -- a unique word, phrase or combination of alphabetic, numeric and non-alphanumeric characters used to authenticate a user ID as belonging to a user. 

Technology Administration
The Board directs the superintendent or designee to create rules and procedures governing technology usage in the district to support the district’s policy, as needed. 

The Board directs the superintendent or designee to assign trained personnel to maintain the district’s technology in a manner that will protect the district from liability and will protect confidential student and employee information retained or accessible through district technology resources. Trained personnel shall establish a retention schedule for the regular archiving or deletion of data stored on district technology resources in accordance with the Public School District Retention Manual published by the Missouri Secretary of State. Administrators of computer resources may suspend access to and/or availability of the district’s technology resources to diagnose and investigate network problems or potential violations of the law or district policies, regulations and procedures. 

User Identification and Network Security
The district technology resources may be used by authorized students, employees, school Board members and other persons such as consultants, legal counsel and independent contractors. Use of the district’s technology resources is a privilege, not a right. No student, employee or other potential user will be given an ID, password or other access to district technology if he or she is considered a security risk by the superintendent or designee. 

Users must adhere to district policies, regulations, procedures and other district guidelines. All users shall immediately report any security problems or misuse of the district’s technology resources to an administrator or teacher. 

User Agreement and Privacy
Unless authorized by the superintendent or designee, all users must have an appropriately signed User Agreement on file with the district before they are allowed access to district technology resources. All users must agree to follow the district’s policies, regulations and procedures. In addition, all users must recognize that they do not have a legal expectation of privacy in any electronic communications or other activities involving the district’s technology. A user ID with e-mail access, if granted, is provided to users of this district's network and technology resources only on condition that the user consents in his or her User Agreement to interception of or access to all communications accessed, sent, received or stored using district technology. 

Content Filtering and Monitoring
The district will monitor the online activities of minors and operate a technology protection measure (“filtering/blocking device”) on the network and/or all computers with Internet access, as required by law. The filtering/blocking device will be used to protect against access to visual depictions that are obscene, harmful to minors and child pornography, as required by law. Because the district’s technology is a shared resource, the filtering/blocking device will apply to all computers with Internet access in the district. Filtering/Blocking devices are not foolproof, and the district cannot guarantee that users will never be able to access offensive materials using district equipment. Evasion or disabling, or attempting to evade or disable, a filtering/blocking
device installed by the district is prohibited. The superintendent, designee or the district's technology administrator may disable the district's filtering/blocking device to enable an adult user access for bona fide research or for other lawful purposes. In making decisions to disable the district's filtering/blocking device, the administrator shall consider whether the use will serve a legitimate educational purpose or otherwise benefit the
district. 

Closed Forum
The district’s technology resources are not a public forum for expression of any kind and are to be considered a closed forum to the extent allowed by law. 

The district’s webpage will provide information about the school district, but will not be used as an open forum. The district's webpage may include the district’s address, telephone number and an e-mail address where members of the public may easily communicate concerns to the administration and the Board. 

All expressive activities involving district technology resources that students, parents and members of the public might reasonably perceive to bear the imprimatur of the school and that are designed to impart particular knowledge or skills to student participants and audiences are considered curricular publications. All curricular publications are subject to reasonable prior restraint, editing and deletion on behalf of the school district for legitimate pedagogical reasons. All other expressive activities involving the district’s technology are subject to reasonable prior restraint and subject matter restrictions as allowed by law and Board policies.

TECHNOLOGY USAGE
(Technology Safety) 
Student Users
No student will be given access to the district’s technology resources until the district receives a User Agreement signed by the student and the student’s parent(s), guardian(s) or person(s) standing in the place of a parent. Students who are 18 or who are otherwise able to enter into an enforceable contract may sign the User Agreement without additional signatures. Students who do not have a User Agreement on file with the district may be granted permission to use district technology by the superintendent or designee. 

Employee Users
No employee will be given access to the district’s technology resources before the district has a signed User Agreement on file. Authorized employees may use the district’s technology resources for reasonable, incidental personal purposes as long as the use does not violate any provision of district policies, regulations or procedures, hinder the use of the district’s technology for the benefit of its students or waste district resources. Any use that jeopardizes the safety, security or usefulness of the district’s technology is considered unreasonable. Any use that interferes with the effective and professional performance of the employee’s job is considered unreasonable. 

Because computers are shared resources, it is not appropriate for an employee to access, view, display, store, print or disseminate information via district resources, including e-mail or Internet access, that students or other users could not access, view, display, store, print or disseminate without authorization by the district. Board Member Users Members of the school Board may be granted user privileges, including an e-mail address, upon completion of a User Agreement. Board members will set an example of responsible use and will abide by district policies, regulations and procedures. Board members will comply with the Missouri Sunshine Law. 

External Users
Consultants, counsel, independent contractors and other persons having professional business with this school district may also be granted user privileges at the discretion of the superintendent or designee, subject to completion of a User Agreement and for the sole, limited purpose of conducting business with the school. External users must abide by all laws, district policies, regulations and procedures. 

Privacy
A user does not have a legal expectation of privacy in the user's electronic communications or other activities involving the district’s technology resources. All district technology resources are considered district property. The district may maintain or improve technology resources at any time. The district may remove, change or exchange hardware or other technology between buildings, classrooms, employees, students or any other user at any time without prior notice. Authorized district personnel may load or delete new programs or information, install new equipment, upgrade any system or enter any system to correct problems at any time. 

The district may examine all information stored on district technology resources at any time. The district may monitor employee and student technology usage. Electronic communications, all data stored on the district’s technology resources and downloaded material, including files deleted from a user’s account, may be intercepted, accessed or searched by district administrators or designees at any time. 

Violations of Technology Usage Policies and Procedures
Use of the district’s technology resources is a privilege, not a right. A user’s privileges may be suspended pending an investigation concerning use of the district’s technology resources. Any violation of district policies, regulations or procedures regarding technology usage may result in temporary, long-term or permanent suspension of user privileges. 

The administration may use disciplinary measures to enforce district policies, regulations and procedures. Employees may be disciplined or terminated, and students suspended or expelled, for violating the district’s policies, regulations and procedures. Any attempted violation of district policies, regulations or procedures, regardless of the success or failure of the attempt, may result in the same discipline or suspension of privileges as that of an actual violation.

Damages
All damages incurred by the district due to the misuse of the district's technology resources, including the loss of property and staff time, will be charged to the user. District administrators have the authority to sign any criminal complaint regarding damage to district technology.
