What this document actually says
This policy establishes a closed campus at all Reed Union School District schools, last revised October 18, 2022. Students are not allowed to leave school grounds during the school day without express permission from school authorities. The policy aims to keep students in a supervised, safe, and orderly environment. Students who leave campus without authorization will receive an unexcused absence and face disciplinary action. All campus rules and disciplinary procedures must be clearly explained in student handbooks. School authorities have the discretion to grant permission for students to leave when appropriate circumstances exist. This policy applies to all district schools and is based on California Education Code provisions regarding school board authority and campus supervision.
What this means for your family
Your child must stay on campus during school hours unless they have permission from school staff. If your child leaves without permission, it counts as an unexcused absence and may result in discipline. Check your child's student handbook for specific rules. You'll need to coordinate with the school if your child needs to leave early for appointments or other reasons.
