The Central Square Central School District allows
the visitation of all residents of this district, subject to the
following procedures:
- Each
building principal shall establish and maintain a security plan
outlining the process of registration and authorization for visits
to his/her school. Such plans shall be submitted to the
Superintendent of Schools for approval, and thereafter be made
available to the principal's office and anyone interested in
visiting the school.
- All
visitors must report to the main office, sign in, and be issued a
visitor's permit, which must be displayed at all times. The permit
must be returned to the main office and the visitor must sign out at
the conclusion of the visit.
- Registration
shall not be required for functions open to the public, whether or
not school-related.
- Such
visitations shall not be limited to parent conference days or other
organized events.
- Parents
may request a visit to their child's classroom(s) through the
building principal. The purpose of the visit will be established at
that time. The date and time of the visit shall be mutually agreed
upon directly between parent and teacher. The building principal
shall be notified, in advance, of the arrangements which have been
agreed upon for the visit.
- Teachers
may request a parent to visit the classroom by directly contacting
the parent and establishing a mutually agreed upon date and time.
The building principal shall be notified of the visit, in advance.
- Unless
specifically invited by the building administrator, parental
visitation shall be limited to those situations which do not involve
the placement or change of placement of a child into, or from, a
specific classroom.
- Visitations
by other than parents shall be arranged directly between the
principal and the individuals requesting the visit. The purpose of
the visit shall be made clear in order for appropriate arrangements
and scheduling to occur.
- Parents
are encouraged to visit guidance counselors, school nurses, school
psychologists and other support personnel, by appointment, in order
to discuss any problems or concerns the parent may have regarding
the student, whether or not school-related.
- Any
visitor wishing to inspect school records or interview students on
school premises must comply with the applicable Board policies and
administrative regulations. In questionable cases, the visitor shall
be directed to the superintendent's office to obtain written
permission for such a visit.
- The
principal is authorized to take any action necessary to secure the
safety of students and school personnel. Unauthorized visitors shall
be requested to leave school premises immediately, and may be subject
to arrest and prosecution for trespassing, pursuant to the New York
State Penal Law.
- Parental
visitations shall not involve or be related to any form of evaluation
of members of the district's staff.
- Individual
visitors not immediately known to the school principal will be asked
for identification, at the discretion of the principal.
- Parents
who wish to have the child excused from school or would like to visit
their child are required to register at the office at the time the
child will be called to the office.
- Students
will be released to parents and/or authorized individuals only. If a
person requests the release of a student, that person’s identity
will be verified against a list of names provided by the parent or
guardian. If the person is included on the list, the student may be
released from attendance. If the person is not included on the list,
the student may not be released except in the event of an emergency as
determined in the sole discretion of the building principal, or the
principal’s designee, provided that the parent or guardian has been
contacted and has agreed to such release. The District may presume
that either parent of the student has authority to obtain the release
of the student unless the District has been provided with as certified
copy of a legally binding instrument (such as a court order) which
provides evidence to the contrary.
16. If the visit involves meeting with the principal or
staff
member
suggested that at least 24 hours notice be provided
