SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND
GROUNDS SAFETY INSPECTIONS
The Board desires that all school
buildings and grounds be maintained in a safe condition for students and
staff at all times. The Superintendent or designee shall institute and
monitor a plan that will provide for annual safety inspections of all
district buildings and grounds.
The Board's Operations and Facilities
Committee shall conduct an annual tour of all district buildings and
grounds in August of each year and provide a report to the Board.
Building administrators shall be responsible for providing the Group
Director of Operations and Facilities with an annual report regarding
the physical condition of their buildings in the spring of each year.
The Group Director of Operations and
Facilities shall provide assistance to all state officials in their
inspections of boilers, local fire departments in their annual fire
inspections, and incidental checks by the district's insurance carrier.
Building administrators
and the Coordinator of Maintenance shall be continuously responsible for
the identification of safety hazards for students and staff. Those
hazards that cannot be immediately corrected shall be reported to the
Group Director of Operations and Facilities so that a plan can be
developed for correcting the hazard in a timely manner.
The Board intends that the district remain
in compliance with the guidelines established by the "Environmental
Protection Agency" that relate to schools in the areas of asbestos,
radon, lead in drinking water, and all other potential health risks to
students. Towards this end, the Board directs the Superintendent to
identify an individual who shall be responsible for remaining abreast of
these guidelines and making future reports and recommendations to the
Board.
