For safety/security reasons, all doors should be locked in District 742 with the exception of designated student entrances, i.e., during times when buses are bringing students to school. Staff have access cards to enter other doors. All others should come to the front door and be buzzed in. The expectation is that the only door(s) to be left open in the morning are those for student access, and those doors are to be monitored for a specific timeframe, and then locked. Monitoring can either be by a person or with a screen/buzzer. A monitoring system is to also be in place for KIDSTOP programs. Our first premise is for students to feel safe and secure. Every building now has the technology for mandatory security procedures to be in place. I did send out information to administrators and staff regarding (mandatory) expectations for building access/security as follows:
a) Doors are to remain locked at all times, with only certain doors unlocked for student access until all students have entered the building.
b) All staff members are to carry their keycards and identification cards. (This is an expectation of the District, as well as First Responders.)
c) Doors designated for public access are to be monitored either by a person or screen/buzzer system throughout the school day.
d) Administrators are to review this information with their custodial staff.
