The Wilkes County Board of Education strives to make the physical grounds at each school campus a part of a safe, orderly, and inviting educational environment. To further this goal, the principal will seek opportunities to involve staff, parents, and students at that school in the decisions related to the school grounds and will make reasonable efforts to maintain the grounds and outdoor equipment in a manner consistent with Board of Education goals.
The principal will inspect playgrounds and outdoor equipment for health and safety hazards on a regular basis and as required by law. The principal will notify the superintendent immediately of repairs needed to meet safety standards.
