In accordance with policy KK's general statements of the district's position
regarding visitors to the schools, the following guidelines shall apply
to school and classroom visitations:
- All visitors to a school and/or classroom must obtain the advance
approval of the principal of the building involved, and if the visit is
to a classroom, a time shall be arranged after the principal has conferred
with the teacher involved.
- If the visitation is an observation of classroom activities, the teacher
shall be afforded the opportunity of conferring with the classroom observer
before and/or following the observations. The principal will notify the
observer of this requirement in advance of the visit.
- Classroom visitation must not detract from planned classroom activity.
- Upon written request, the reason(s) for denying a particular classroom
visitation shall be given in writing by the building principal or program
coordinator to the person denied visitation, which shall state the procedures
available for appeal of that denial to district administrative offices and,
in turn, to the district Board of Directors.
