SECURITY
Students may use the building and school facilities after school hours only under the supervision of a teacher or coach. Unless special permission has been granted by the Administration, no student may be in the building or on school grounds after 10:00 p.m. on the night before a school day. No student is allowed in a locked area of the building without proper authorization and supervision. Anyone found tampering with any lock on school property will be subject to serious disciplinary sanctions.
Parents, guardians, and students are advised that Padua Franciscan High School, in order to maintain a safe and secure environment for the school community, employs a video surveillance system in public areas on campus. These recorded images may be reviewed by school personnel, police, and/or other authorities.
Padua Franciscan High School employs a school resource officer (SRO) to assist with the overall safety and security of the school. In specific situations (and when necessary), the SRO will read a student their Miranda Rights. If this is done, an administrator will call home to inform a parent/guardian.
