Buildings constitute one of the greatest investments of the school district and the community. It is in the best interest of students and taxpayers to protect that investment adequately.

Security includes items such as:

1. Minimizing fire hazards.
2. Reducing the probability of faulty equipment.
3. Guarding against the chance of electrical shock.
4. Keeping records and funds in a safe place.
5. Protecting against vandalism and burglary.

The Superintendent of Schools shall establish such rules and regulations as may be needed to provide for security as outlined above.
