All staff is reminded of the importance of maximum security for school keys at all times.  The security of school and personal materials depends on the care each staff member gives to safeguarding his/her keys.

• School keys are the property of the Los Angeles Unified School District and are loaned to staff members for their use during school assignments.  At the beginning of each school year, keys will be issued to regularly assigned employees.
• Staff members are responsible for securing any school keys in their possession. 
• The distribution of master keys is limited to the plant manager and administrators.
• It is illegal for school keys to be duplicated under any circumstances.
• At the close of the school year or when an employee will no longer be assigned to the school, keys issued shall be returned to the administrator in charge of keys. 
• Under no circumstances are students allowed to use staff members’ keys.
• Keys are not to be left in desk drawers or on top of desks or tables.
• In case of loss of lost keys, the staff member is to immediately notify an administrator and the school police officer.

Procedures for Obtaining Keys

• Staff members will be issued keys corresponding to room and office assignments.
• Requests for keys must be made in writing to the administrator in charge of keys (Kevin Kennedy).
• The Plant Manager will fill additional requests authorized by the administrator.
