Policy JLIA
Supervision of Learners
Board Approved: August 18, 2025
The Board is committed to ensuring that learners are appropriately supervised at times when the District is responsible for providing for the safety of learners with a reasonable duty of care and supervision.
The Building Principal is responsible for promoting and providing for learner safety on all school property, both on school property and during school-sponsored activities off school grounds. For the purposes of this policy, “school property” shall include: all real property, physical plant and equipment used for school purposes, including but not limited to school playgrounds, buses and vans, whether public or private. Among other things, execution of this responsibility means delegation of supervisory responsibilities for all such activities, and ensuring that sufficient protocols for emergency response and communication are in place for all activities.
Without limiting the above, learners should be under the supervision of a member of the school staff at all reasonable times while they are in school or attending school-sponsored activities on and off school property. All school staff have a duty to help ensure the safety of learners even when such staff are not specifically scheduled for supervisory duty.
All dangerous conditions in the school should be reported at once to the Building Principal.
In schools where bus transportation is provided, the supervisory duties shall include the loading and unloading, when necessary, of the learners at the school.
The Superintendent and Building Principal are authorized to establish administrative rules and/or regulations in furtherance of this policy
