2241 - (JLIA) Supervision of Students

 

 

 

The Milford School Board is committed to ensuring that students are appropriately supervised at times when the Milford School District is responsible for providing for the safety of students with a reasonable duty of care and supervision.

 

The Building Principal is responsible for promoting and providing for student safety on all school property, both on school property and during school-sponsored activities off school grounds. For the purposes of this policy, "school property" shall include: all real property, physical plant and equipment used for school purposes, including but not limited to school playgrounds, buses and vans, whether public or private. Among other things, execution of this responsibility means delegation of supervisory responsibilities for all such activities, and ensuring that sufficient protocols for emergency response and communication are in place for all activities.

 

Without limiting the above, students should be under the supervision of a member of the school staff at all reasonable times while they are in school or attending school-sponsored activities on and off school property. All school staff have a duty to help ensure the safety of students even when such staff are not specifically scheduled for supervisory duty.

 

All dangerous conditions in the school shall be reported at once to the Building Principal or designee and promptly addressed according to established protocols.

 

In schools where bus transportation is provided, the supervisory duties shall include the loading and unloading, when necessary, of the students at the school.

 

The Superintendent and Building Principal are authorized to establish procedures and expectations related to this policy.
