Environmental Safety
The Governing Board believes that students and employees have the right
to learn and work in a safe, clean and healthy environment. The District
has an obligation to locate and reduce or eliminate potential risks to
health and the environment, to use environmental resources in a responsible
way, and to educate students and staff about environmental issues.
The Superintendent or designee shall establish regulations to guard
against environmental hazards. Students and staff are encouraged to report
any unsafe conditions they may observe.
