BOARD POLICY ON BUILDING SECURITY
“Except for the purpose of attending functions to which the public at large has been invited,
no person shall enter any school building under the control of the Teaneck Board of
Education without first making his/her presence known to the Principal or other person
then in charge of said building or buildings.
All persons desiring to visit a school building for any purpose shall first report to the office
of the Principal or person then in charge to announce the purpose for which admission into
the building is desired.
The Principal or person then in charge may grant permission sought by the person entering
said building. A person found in a building who shall have entered same without first
having reported to the office of the Principal or person in charge shall be liable to
prosecution on charges of trespassing and be subject to such penalties as the law shall
allow.”

STRICTLY FOLLOWED. Each of us has a special responsibility in this regard.
No visitors or volunteers should be wandering the hallways, making unannounced visits
to classrooms and activities, or making unannounced entry into building offices. All
visitors (including regular visitors/volunteers such as PTA persons) must follow the building
rules set forth above.
