Chapter I - Health and Safety

Part 3.0 Building Security and Safety

Section 3.4 Ice and Snow

Policy Statement:

Ice and snow- The school shall provide large lidded containers at each exit containing ice melt. School staff shall monitor the pavement regularly for icy areas frequently during wet weather.  Staff members must notify the Operations staff (or the school office) if an unsafe winter situation on the playground or parking lot(s) is discovered.  All staff members may open the salt container and spread ice melt on the icy area; however, the responsibility ultimately lies with Operations staff, including custodians.  Because the brown platforms on the play equipment are extremely slippery when wet and frozen. the school may need to close and rope off the playground equipment due to ice, snow and/or other temperature-related conditions.
