KI – Visitors to District Facilities

By /
The Board of Education recognizes the importance of engaging the community in our schools and the importance of school and community partnerships yet also recognizes concerns for the health, safety, and welfare of students. Therefore, the District generally limits visitors to its District school buildings, facilities, and premises to:
  1. Parents/guardians of current students;
  2. Other family members of current students who are approved by the student's parent/guardian;
  3. Board members; and
  4. Other persons invited by the District or school administrator, the Superintendent or her/his designee, or a Board member for educational or official business purposes.
To ensure that visitors do not disrupt the educational process or other school operations and that no unauthorized persons enter District school buildings, facilities, and premises with wrongful intent, all visitors to District school buildings, facilities, and premises shall report to the main/front office area to check-in upon their arrival to receive authorization before visiting elsewhere in the District school building, facility, or premises. All authorized visitors shall follow the specific procedures outlined in Board Regulation KI-R. These procedures may not apply when parents/guardians have been invited to a large school event, such as a classroom or assembly program, back-to-school night, or athletic event. Visitors may be accompanied by a District employee for some or all of the visit, and visitors shall respect all students' rights to privacy. While the District values family and community involvement in the schools, visiting District school buildings, facilities, and premises is a privilege, not a right, which may be limited, denied, or revoked by a District or school administrator or designee based on considerations of student and/or staff welfare, health, and safety, including health and safety considerations related to the occurrence of a pandemic, maintenance of a proper and safe educational environment, or failure to comply with this Policy. District and school administrators may approve additional procedures pertaining to visitors to District school buildings, facilities, and premises to preserve a proper and safe educational environment. To promote the general health, welfare and well being of all who enter District school buildings, facilities, and premises, and pursuant to state law, any use or possession of tobacco products and marijuana products by staff, students, or visitors is prohibited in all District school buildings, facilities, and premises, except as permitted by Board Policy JLCDB. Persons violating criminal law by using, selling or distributing any controlled substance on school grounds, on school buses transporting students or within 1,000 feet of the perimeter of the school grounds shall be subject to all statutory penalties. Loitering, as defined by C.R.S. § 18-9-112, shall also be prohibited.
