SCHOOL VISITORS

It is the policy of the Tannehill Board of Education that all visitors to any school facility obtain a visitor's pass at the building principal's office.  Parents are requested not to send or allow siblings to visit students in the classroom.

Staff members are not normally expected to have personal visitors during the school day.

Agents or other persons shall not visit teachers during school hours for the purpose of selling books or other articles without written consent from the superintendent.

The superintendent or principal of any school shall have the authority to order any person[1] out of the school building and off the school property when it appears that the presence of such per­son is a threat to the peaceful conduct of school business, school activities, and/or school classes.  This authority shall extend to the removal of any individual attending an official school activity or field trip where students are present, including an activity or field trip not on school property, when the superintendent or principal determines that a threat to the peaceful conduct of students exists.  Any person who refuses to leave the school build­ing or grounds after being ordered to do so by the superintendent or principal, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500.00 or by impri­sonment in the county jail for not more than 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Any person who is requested to leave the premises shall be unable to return to the premises without the written permis­sion of the administration for a period of six months.  A grievance or an appeal may be filed by the individual as per district policy GJ-P.
