BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS MANAGEMENT
It shall be the policy of the Cameron Parish School Board to require that school properties be maintained in good physical condition. The Board, therefore, shall instruct the Superintendent to assure that all normal building and grounds maintenance, repairs and improvement functions are an integral part of the administration of the school system, including the regular evaluation for any safety hazards.
The Superintendent shall be vested with a broad range of administrative and supervisory authority relative to the school system's buildings and grounds program. Regular reports shall be made available to the Board relative to maintenance needs, safety, utility and attractiveness of school plants and grounds within the school system.
The Board shall not be held responsible for any personal items stolen or damaged on school premises. The Board shall require principals and/or persons in charge of public school property to prohibit the use, sale, or possession of alcoholic beverages on public school property.
VACANT AND/OR UNOCCUPIED BUILDINGS
Vacant and/or unoccupied premises owned by the School Board shall be properly secured and maintained to prevent unauthorized trespass or injury to the general public. It shall be the responsibility of the Superintendent or his/her designee to assure that any vacant and/or unoccupied property of the School Board has limited access for authorized personnel only and the grounds are maintained regularly.
SMOKING/TOBACCO USE ON SCHOOL BOARD PROPERTY
The Cameron Parish School Board shall provide a tobacco-free school and work environment. All tobacco products or any other lightable, combustible plant material, and any smoking objects or devices shall be prohibited on any school campus, school vehicle, or parish School Board property. School campus includes all property, as well as the elementary or secondary school buildings on that campus. School Board property shall include any buildings, portable buildings, field houses, stadiums, equipment storage areas, vacant land, or any property owned, operated, or leased by the Board, including property which is not part of a school campus. Any form of tobacco or tobacco products shall also be prohibited at school-sponsored functions away from school property.
Any person who violates these provisions shall be disciplined in accordance with statutory provision and School Board policies.
