6001R IDENTIFICATION BADGES

The Marcus Whitman Central School District is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for our students and employees. The District will issue Identification (ID) Badges to all full­ time and part-time employees. The Identification Badge serves the dual purpose of allowing access to secured areas as well as readily identifying school district employees and other authorized personnel. Employees shall be instructed to approach and refer any person found in the building without an ID badge to the Main Office. If approaching unauthorized individuals is not feasible, employees shall be instructed to immediately report unauthorized individuals to an Administrator.

 

Employee and Temporary Staff Badges

 

I.       ID badges will be issued to all current and new employees through the head custodian at each building.

2.       Long-term substitute teachers, student teachers or other temporary employees may be issued an ID

badge, depending on the length of stay with the District.

3.       Employees will be provided with the option of a clip tag, lanyard or pull chain with the ID badge.

4.      ID badges shall be worn during the school day and when advising or chaperoning school-sponsored

activities.

5.      ID badges are to be worn so that the name and photo are clearly visible.

6.      Each employee is responsible for safeguarding his or her own ID Badge. If a card is damaged or

lost, head custodian should be notified in order to deactivate the card (if necessary). A new card will

be issued at no cost to the employee on a one-time basis.

7.      All subsequent replacements of lost ID badges will be issued at a charge of $5 (five dollars) to the

employee.

8.      The ID badge is the property of the School District and may be used only by the individual to whom

it was issued.

9.       Employees may not loan their ID badge to anyone for any reason.

I 0.    Upon retirement or separation from employment, employees are required to return the ID badge to

the head custodian or the Building Principal.

 

Visitor and Vendor Badges

 

Visitors, including approved volunteers and vendors, are required to report to the Main Office immediately upon arrival and obtain permission to be in the school building.

 

1.     All visitors and vendors will present identification, sign in and obtain a temporary "visitor" badge.

2.      "Visitor" badges shall be worn and prominently displayed while on district property.

3.       Substitute teachers or other short-term staff who have not been issued an ID badge will use a

"visitor" or other temporary badge on a daily basis.

4.       When leaving the building, all visitors, vendors and temporary staff shall sign out and return the

"visitor" badge to the Main Office.
