OPEN/CLOSED CAMPUS
The Governing Board establishes a closed campus at all district schools, however juniors and seniors who meet eligibility requirements may leave campus during the lunch hour. The Board views this program as a way to improve and reward student academic achievement and attendance. Eligibility requirements are based upon academic performance and attendance standards. The open campus privilege may be revoked for juniors and seniors who do not meet the eligibility standards.
Students shall not leave the school grounds at any other time during the school day without written permission of their parents/guardians and school authorities. Students who leave school or who fail to return following lunch without authorization shall be classified truant and subject to disciplinary action.
