KI
VISITORS  TO  SCHOOLS

The Superintendent shall establish school-visit procedures for the control of persons other than school personnel or students who enter District premises.  Such procedures shall permit full use of all legal means to ensure that students, employees, and District property are properly safeguarded.  No person, other than one who is a peace officer or one who has obtained specific authorization from the appropriate school administrator, shall carry or possess a weapon on school grounds.

No visit, tour, or observation shall be permitted if it threatens the health and safety of the pupils and staff.

Parent  and  Prospective
Parent  Visitors

The Superintendent shall develop procedures to allow for visits, tours, and observations of all classrooms by parents of enrolled pupils and parents who wish to enroll their children in the School District.  See Regulation KI-R.

Parent and prospective parent visit, tour, and observation policies shall be easily accessible from the home page of each school’s website.

Enforcement  of  School
Visitor  Rules

School principals, including school staff members who have been delegated authority to act in the absence of the school principal, and District and school security officers are authorized to enforce rules relating to visitors to the school.  If a visitor violates a rule or otherwise causes or threatens to cause disruption of the school's operations, the school official authorized to enforce the rules will follow the procedures for maintaining order on District property set forth in Governing Board Policy KFA - Public Conduct on School District Property.

Visitor  Request  to  Use  School  Facilities
to  Provide  Private  Services

Except in unique circumstances or isolated instances, schools will not make facilities available for private-service providers, such as psychologists and therapists, to provide services to students at school.  Parents may remove their children from school to receive private services off campus.  However, parents are encouraged to schedule private services at a time that does not conflict with the student's school day.
