Policy 3225F - Student Club Risk Management Plan

 Student Club Risk Management Plan

 Each Charter School Sponsored Club must develop and implement a plan that identifies hazards and potential exposures  to club members, faculty, staff members, and School property. This plan should also outline the policies and procedures  needed to control the identified hazards.

 Due to the variety of club activities that can occur within a school, it is critical that hazards and exposures created by the  club activities be carefully evaluated. Some clubs, for example, a chess club, may not have significant hazards; however,  other clubs such as a drag racing club, or a rodeo club could have the potential for severe injuries. Each Risk Management  Plan should be customized to the hazards of the individual club. To assist you in developing your plan, you can answer the  following questions:

 

 What are the purposes and goals of the club?
