USE OF EQUIPMENT AND FACILITIES Drug-Free School Zones Statement The Drug-Free School Zones - Youth Protection Act provides that: * The area within 1000 feet of a school or on any school vehicle is a DRUG-FREE SCHOOL ZONE. * Distributing or manufacturing a drug with a DRUG-FREE SCHOOL ZONE is a felony. * Penalties for persons convicted of manufacturing or distributing drugs in a DRUG-FREE SCHOOL ZONE are severe: First OFFENDERS can be sentenced for up to 20 years and can be fined $20,000, or both. Second OFFENDERS can be sentenced to prison for a least 5 to 40 years and can be fined $40,000, or both. * Using CHILDREN to distribute or manufacture drugs is a FELONY. OFFENDERS can be sentenced to prison for up to 20 years and can also be fined $20,000, or both. Emergency Lanes Statement In order to assure unobstructed access to schools at all times, and especially in the event of any emergency, the Board of Education on December 9, 1975, approved the designation of certain areas at each school as emergency lanes. The emergency lanes are painted with yellow strips and posted "Emergency Lanes" and must be kept open for traffic at all times. Fire Drills Statement In case fire occurs, each employee must act immediately and know exactly what actions he is to take. Regularly planned fire drills are held under the direction of the school administration. Participation in such drills is mandatory and failure to participate may result in disciplinary action. Keys Statement The possession of keys carries with it a serious responsibility because the security of the school system would be compromised by the loss or negligent use of a key. When an employee is issued a key, the following guidelines are in effect immediately: 1. Keys should never be left lying around, in or on top of desks, or similar locations. 2. Keys should never be passed to a student or a non-school employee. 3. Loss of keys must be reported to the employee's immediate supervisor immediately. Failure to do so will justify disciplinary action. 4. Employees, who through their negligence lose keys, will be held responsible for the re- keying cost of all locks responding to keys which are lost. 5. Broken or damaged keys are to be turned in to the immediate supervisor or the Foreman of Maintenance. Section 3, EMPLOYEE RESPONSIBILITIES
