All employees will be mandated child abuse reporters and will follow all applicable reporting<br />
and training laws, the same policies and procedures used by the District. The <strong>Charter</strong> <strong>School</strong><br />
shall provide mandated reporter training to all employees annually in accordance with Education<br />
Code Section 44691.<br />
Facility Safety<br />
TGS shall comply with Education Code Section 47610 by either utilizing facilities that are either<br />
compliant with the Field Act or compliant with the California Building Standards Code. TGS<br />
agrees to test sprinkler systems, fire extinguishers, and fire alarms annually at its facilities to<br />
ensure that they are maintained in an operable condition at all times. TGS shall conduct fire drills<br />
as required under Education Code Section 32001, and in conjunction with the District (if at<br />
District facilities). Current <strong>Grove</strong> facilities as well as the refurbishment of the Barton <strong>School</strong><br />
House are compliant with the American with Disabilities Act, local building / safety codes,<br />
zoning, and asbestos screening laws.<br />
Emergency Preparedness and Procedures<br />
TGS shall adhere to an Emergency Procedures Handbook drafted specifically to the needs of the<br />
school site in conjunction with law enforcement and the Fire Marshal. The Emergency<br />
Procedures Handbook is included in Appendix P.<br />
TGS has put in place procedures to ensure the safety of all students in an emergency. TGS trains<br />
teachers annually on how to respond in the event of an emergency, and the <strong>Charter</strong> <strong>School</strong> holds<br />
fire and lockdown drills throughout the school year. Instructions are posted in each classroom for<br />
fire and earthquake emergencies and lockdown procedures. Specific procedures for different<br />
types of emergencies are outlined in the Protocols for Emergency Situations section of the Staff<br />
Handbook.<br />
Each and every room has an emergency/first aid box with supplies and emergency protocols. All<br />
staff certify and recertify every other year with the American Red Cross CPR and First Aid<br />
training.<br />
In the case of an emergency, TGS will first ensure the safety of students and faculty, then will<br />
communicate with families. TGS will inform parents and guardians about the emergency as soon<br />
as possible through email, text, website, and social media, and inform parents through email,<br />
text, website, and social media when it is safe for students to be released, and how and where<br />
students will be released from campus.<br />
Immunizations<br />
All enrolled students who receive classroom-based instruction will be required to provide records<br />
documenting immunizations as is required at public schools pursuant to Health and Safety Code<br />
Sections 120325-120375, and Title 17, California Code of Regulations Sections 6000-6075. All<br />
rising 7 th grade students must be immunized with a pertussis (whooping cough) vaccine booster.<br />
