California Health and Safety Code, including codes 44237, 45125.1 and 45122.1. All city, county and stat e building codes are also follow ed. To secure our

workday and on w eekends. T he school has an intrusion alarm with sensors in all classrooms, offices and supply areas. T he result is a campus that is secure 24-
hours a day, 7 days a w eek. Students are supervised at all times by administration and supervision staff w hen on t he yard and they routinely participate in mont hly
emergency drills to ensure all stakeholders are aw are of appropriate procedures in case of emergency. A school nurse serves students on a regular fulltime basis.
The parent center provides some on-sit e health and social services to our students and their families and offers services and classes requested by the school
community. The Safety Plan is review ed yearly and revised as needed through input from all stakeholders. It is maintained in the Main Office. All employees are
fingerprinted and cleared through the Department of Justice as required by Education Code 44237 and are required to provide a negative T B t est result no more
than 60 days prior to their first day of w ork. In addition to the ongoing and daily review of school facilities by t he facilities plant manager and administrator of
operations, SMBCCS is a member of ASCIP and participates in periodic health and safet y review s of the entire campus as part of ASCIP's risk management
program. Risk managers inspect all interior and exterior areas of t he school including playground equipment, asphalt, cement, food service areas (kitchen and
lunch pavilion), custodial storage areas and office (including areas of storage of hazardous materials). The Illness and Injury Prevention program is regularly
updated and a summary of t he program is posted in the w orkplace. T he procedures that SMBCCS follows t o ensure t he health and safety of pupils and staff
include the requirement that each employee of the school furnishes t he school w ith a criminal record summary as described in Ed. Code 44237.
