N.M. Admin. Code § 6.27.30.13 - SCHOOL SECURITY
School security features shall be integrated at all layers of the school.
A. Site security.
(1) All functional areas of a school site
shall have safe and secure site fencing or other barriers with accommodations
for safe passage through openings to protect students from the hazards of
traffic, railroad tracks, steep slopes, animal nuisance, and to discourage
unauthorized access to the school site. Alternative security may be approved
after the sufficiency of security at the site is reviewed by the council using
the following criteria:
(a) amount of
vehicular traffic near the school site;
(b) existence of hazardous or natural
barriers on or near the school site;
(c) amount of animal nuisance or unique
conditions near the school site;
(d) visibility of the play/physical education
area; and
(e) site lighting, as
required to meet safe, normal access conditions.
B. Building security. All
occupiable spaces within the building(s) shall have the ability to control
access to the extent required for confidentiality and security. Building
attributes supporting controlled access to the building(s) and interior spaces,
shall be integrated with all layers of school security.
(1) Security systems. Built-in security
systems, which support building access control and emergency operations, shall
be in working order.
(2) Classroom
doors. All interior and exterior classroom doors, accessible from indoor and
outdoor traffic areas, shall have hardware that is lockable from the inside of
the classroom.
