The Cobb County School District (District) recognizes concerns for the welfare of students from their entry on a school bus or school property to their return to the bus stop or when they leave school property. The District strives to assure that schools provide students and staff a safe and orderly environment in which optimum learning can occur.

RULE:

Pro-active supervision of students is essential for the establishment and continuation of a safe, orderly environment:

    A. School personnel shall exercise supervision over pupils in their charge and shall    

        exercise care for their safety.
    B. School personnel who provide, conduct, and/or sponsor before-school and/or after-
        school school-sponsored activities and the After School Program shall exercise
        supervision over students in their charge.
    C. Volunteers and other non District personnel should be supervised at all times by  

        appropriate District employees. When direct supervision by District employees is not

        possible, no less than two volunteers or non District personnel must be present.

    D. Principals shall be responsible for communicating supervision expectations,
        responsibilities, and assignments within their schools.
