playgrounds and during recess, and while they are on school premises and/or
under supervision of school district personnel, as well as during the lunch
period whether on or off the campus and during, or while going to or coming
from a school sponsored activity.
Principals, teachers,
bus drivers, and other employees assigned by the superintendent to positions
requiring supervision of students, are responsible for the safety of students
enrolled in their schools from the time they come under school supervision
until they leave school supervision, whether on school premises or not.
It is the
responsibility of the principal to provide supervision of playgrounds and other
school facilities at all times they are in use by students (except as provided
elsewhere in Board Policy 1330, Use of Facilities). Special attention should be
given to the prevention of accidents and to the development of habits of good
citizenship.
The principal should
make full use of the cooperative services of local and county organizations
which provide safety services, such as fire, law enforcement and civil defense
agencies.
