7440.03 - SMALL UNMANNED AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS

The Board of Education prohibits the operation of small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) at any time on property owned or leased or contracted for by the Board by any individual whether the individual is employed by the District or not. Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems are commonly known as drones.

The Board also prohibits the operation of sUAS on property owned or leased or contracted for by the Board during District-sponsored contests (including scrimmages and previews), practices, tournaments, and activities under the auspices of the Ohio High School Athletic Association (OHSAA). District officials may deny admission or entry to anyone attempting to use a sUAS until the event has been completed. Any exceptions to this prohibition must be approved in advance by the Superintendent.

Any individual who violates this policy may be referred to local law enforcement and/or subjected to discipline, if an employee or student.
