Policy KK: VISITORS TO DISTRICT PROPERTY AND EVENTS Status: DRAFT Original Adopted Date: 06/10/2015 | Last Revised Date: 05/12/2021 23D UPDATE EXPLANATION MSBA has modified this policy to make it clear that visitors on district property or at district activities cannot possess, use, distribute, or be under the influence of marijuana even though Missouri law allows adults to possess and use marijuana. Districts may use this policy to prevent obviously impaired visitors from being on district property. It also allows the district to remove visitors who are openly using or sharing marijuana. Even if a visitor using marijuana tells the district that the use is for a disability, the district can require the visitor to refrain from using marijuana on district property. Marijuana is a controlled substance, and under federal law, the possession and use of controlled substances is a crime. Districts are not required to allow criminal activity on their property. The Missouri Constitution, art. XIV, § 2.3(1)(g), allows the district to prohibit possession or use of recreational marijuana on district property, and medical marijuana cannot be smoked in public places (art. XIV, § 1.7(2)(c)). Board Policy Manual Clayton

District Property Parents/Guardians and patrons of the districtSchool District of Clayton are welcome to visit district schools and attend district events.; however, aAll visitors during business hours, including board members, must sign or check in at the building office prior to proceeding elsewhere in the building. The building principal or designee of each school building will post appropriate signs to direct visitors to designated doors nearest the building office. It is the responsibility of all district employees to direct visitors to the office and report any person in violation of district rules. Student Visitation If a visit from a parent/guardian or other relative could interfere with the education program or be disruptive, or if one of the parents/guardians objects, or if there is a current custody or violation dispute related to the student; or if district employees are uncertain as to whether a person may legally have contact with a student, the superintendent or designee may prohibit the visit. Classroom Observations Parental involvement with school activities is encouraged, and the district provides opportunities for such involvement. However, because classroom visits can be disruptive to the educational process, the district does not permit parents/guardians or others to visit classrooms during instructional time for the purpose of observing students unless the principal has approved the visit in advance after consulting with the teacher. Parents/Guardians or others who are approved to observe students during instructional times will be expected to comply with the district and school guidelines for such observations to limit distractions or interference with school operations and protect student confidentiality. Service Providers The district does not permit outside entities to provide services to students on district property unless the service providers are working with the students in conjunction with the district's student health services program or pursuant to an agreement with the district. Any outside service providers providing services to students on district property will be expected to comply with the district and school guidelines to limit interference with school operations and protect student confidentiality.

This prohibition includes the distribution, possession, and use of marijuana even if the visitor has a valid, Missouri- issued medical marijuana card. Visitors who are under the influence will be asked to leave and may be removed from district property. Appropriate Behavior The School District of Claytondistrict believes that district events are a vital part of the total educational program and should be used as a means for developing positive social interaction, good sportsmanship, and appropriate behavior, in addition to knowledge and skills. Well-organized and well-conducted programs contribute to the morale of the student body and strengthen school-community relations. To this end, the board encourages district patrons to exhibit good sportsmanship, citizenship, ethics, and integrity at all district events and at all times while on district groundsproperty. The district will work with the Missouri State High School Activities Association (MSHSAA) and other organizations to promote good behavior by patrons at athletic and other events. The board will work with parents/guardians, alumni associations, and local service organizations to keep appropriate behavior a top priority. The superintendent will establish procedures for crowd control at district events consistent with this policy. Registered Sex Offenders and Persons Prohibited on or Near District Property
