Closed Campus
In order to keep students in a supervised, safe, and orderly environment, the Governing Board establishes a closed campus at all district schools.
Students shall not leave school grounds at any time during the school day without express permission of school authorities. Students who leave school without authorization shall be considered to have an unexcused absence and be subject to disciplinary action.

(cf. 5113.1 - Chronic Absence and Truancy)

(cf. 5113.12 - District School Attendance Review Board)
Student handbooks shall fully explain all rules and disciplinary procedures involved in the maintenance of the closed campus.
