SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT

The Board of School Directors and the Superintendent have recognized the importance of the safety and health of the district's employees and students.

In the interest of providing a safe school environment and accident prevention, the Board of School Directors and the Superintendent support a formal safety committee which is responsible for the following:
  1. Creating and maintaining an active interest in safety,
  2. Serving as a means of safety and health communications,
  3. Making hazard inspections and recommending methods for elimination of hazards,
  4. Providing information towards improvement of the safety program.
The responsibility for the creation of a safe school environment rests with not only the safety committee, but also each employee, by providing a positive and cooperative attitude.

The overall execution of an effective safety committee is the responsibility of the Superintendent.

It is the responsibility of each member of the safety committee to carry out the functions as described above and work collectively as a committee with the administrative staff when necessary.

The safety committee shall consist of at least one representative from each district building and have at least one non-administrative staff person for each administrative committee member.
