906 - Community Notification of Predatory Offenders

I. PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to assist school administrators and staff members in responding to a notification by a law enforcement agency that a convicted predatory offender is moving into the school district so that they may better protect individuals in the school’s care while they are on or near the school district premises or under the control of the school district.

II. GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY
     A. It is the policy of this school district to provide information to staff regarding known predatory
         offenders that are moving into the school district so that they may monitor school premises for
         the safety of the school, its students, and employees. Staff will be notified as appropriate and
         have access to Offender Fact Sheets.
     B. The superintendent, in cooperation with appropriate school transportation officials, will
         evaluate bus routes and bus stops. Bus drivers will have access to Offender Fact Sheets. If
         necessary, bus stops may be moved if they place children in close proximity to a predatory
         offender who has been convicted of crimes against children of similar ages.
     C. The superintendent, in conjunction with the building principal or designee, shall prepare or 
         provide safety information for distribution to students regarding protecting themselves from
         abuse, abduction, or exploitation. The school district will prepare a list of available resources. 
         Staff will provide safety information to students on how to protect themselves against abuse,
         abduction, or exploitation. School officials may ask their police liaison officer or local law
         enforcement officials for assistance in providing instruction to staff and students.
