In accordance with the School Ethics Act - N.J.S.A. 18A:12-21 et seq., Board of Education members must avoid conduct which is in violation of the public trust or which creates a justifiable impression among the public that such trust is being violated.

9150 – SCHOOL VISITORS

Section: Community
Date Created: March, 2012 Date Edited: August, 2017

In terms of in-person communications, this school system always has prided itself on its "open door policy" whereby parent(s) or legal guardian(s) or other citizens, by following the accepted procedures, may visit the schools to observe classes or to speak with teachers and administrators. However, to ensure safety and that the educational program continues undisturbed when visitors are present and to prevent the intrusion of disruptive persons into the schools, it is necessary to invoke visitor controls.

Except for the purpose of attending functions to which the public-at-large has been invited, no person will
enter any school building under the control of the Teaneck Board of Education
	without first requesting, and
	
then being approved for an official visit appointment with the school/building Principal and or his/her designee. Such appointment shall not be granted during the first 45 minutes or the last 45 minutes of any
	
school day, as to be least disruptive to the instructional schedule.

The Teaneck Board of Education acknowledges that emergencies may arise, as such
	all persons desiring to
	
visit a school building for any purpose will first
	call ahead to the school/building Principal and or his/her
	
designee for emergency approval if possible. In the event that calling ahead for approval is not possible,
	
all persons desiring to visit a school,
	shall report to the office of the Principal or person in charge to

announcethepurposeforwhichadmissionintothebuildingisdesired,andawaittheconsentofthePrincipal or his/her designee.

The Principal or person in charge may then grant the permission sought by the person entering said building. Any person found in any building, who will have entered the building without first having reported to the office of the Principal or person in charge, will be subject to prosecution on charges of trespassing and be subject to such penalties as the law will allow.

For purposes of this policy, trespassers shall be defined as (a) persons who have not been authorized by the school Principal or district administrator to be in the school building or on school grounds and (b) pupils on out-of-school suspension who re-enter school property without authorization.

1.	All school doors and school entranceways, including driveways, are to be posted with an official warning against trespassing and announcing the intention to prosecute any and all trespassers.

2.	The police should be called when individuals ignore the posted warnings.

The governance of this policy shall be a primary responsibility of the Superintendent, who shall oversee its enforcement by school Principals.
