5)b. Administrative Regulation on Animals in Science Labs
Description:
The principals and I have discussed a few different times animals in the science labs. Principals have visited with the teachers and have determined importance of and instruction that occurs with these animals. The administration has determined that only animals which are purchased from a reputable source or pet store will be allowed in science labs. No students will be allowed to bring any animal from the wild to the science lab. Currently all animals in labs have either been purchased from a reputable source or have been positively identified from the Caldwell Zoo. (One turtle from wild was taken to zoo for identification, all others were purchased or donated and once again come from reputable sources. If proof is not obtained the animals will not be allowed to stay in the labs. I will have a list of all animals in school science labs at the meeting. If you have any questions on this please call me. Administrative recommendation: None. Information only.
