Garfield Re-2 School Employee Identification Badge Policy

The Garfield Re-2 School District strives for excellence as well as safety. As such, to help ensure the safety and security of students and employees, all Garfield Re-2 School employees are required to visibly display their Garfield Re-2 ID badge on their person while working on any Garfield Re-2 School property. (Note: ID badges are not required to be displayed in a nonworking event on campus, e.g. if an employee is merely attending a play, a sports event, etc.) 

Employee identification badges that are prominently displayed while at work provide an added sense of security that individuals in the schools and on property are authorized to be there. 

In addition, contractors and their employees whose work takes them on Garfield Re-2 School property must display identification including their name and the company they work for. 

Employee Identification Badge Procedure 

As a crucial part of our district’s safety and security, a Garfield Re-2 School identification (ID) badge with the employee’s name, photo, school, and department in which the employee works will be issued to all employees.

1. All employees are required to wear a Garfield Re-2 School ID badge in plain view while on Garfield Re-2 Schools property except as noted in the policy.

 2. Employees will wear their ID badge when hosting or appearing at Garfield Re-2 School functions or events. Employees may wear their ID badge while conducting official business in the community at their discretion.
