7430A - IDENTIFICATION BADGES
Employees
The protection of students, staff and facilities of the School Corporation is of paramount concern. In order to maximize security and safety, all staff members are required to wear a corporation identification badge at all times when on duty. The identification badge should be clearly displayed on the person's front unless there is a safety concern, in which case the badge may be moved to another location on the person.
An employee reporting to work without their badge shall notify the building administrator indicating that they do not have their badge for that workday. The employee will then receive a temporary badge for that workday. During the next workday, the employee is to inform the building administrator that they have either located their badge or report it lost. The building administrator will then secure a new badge for the employee. An employee shall not be disciplined or evaluated for failing to report to work without their identification badge.
The initial badge is provided by the Corporation at no cost to the employee. Any staff member desiring a second identification badge may purchase the badge through the Corporation's facilities service center at cost. At cessation of employment with the Corporation, identification badges, keys, and other similar security items are to be returned to the Corporation.
Visitors
All visitors will report to the office to sign-in and will be issued a temporary identification badge to be worn while on school premises. Before leaving the premises, the visitor will return the badge and sign-out.
