Elevated Risk Activities Policy


Monday, July 7, 2025

The District of Columbia Public Schools (ÐßÐßÊÓÆµ) mission is to ensure that students reach their full potential through rigorous and joyful learning experiences provided in a nurturing environment. Activities that pose safety risks beyond what would be expected during a typical school day (e.g., bounce houses and petting zoos) put that mission at risk and present additional liability for ÐßÐßÊÓÆµ. Given that liability, inflatable attractions that students jump or climb on are not permitted under any circumstances and additional requirements apply to other elevated risk activities.

These requirements apply to any activity that poses additional risk that is operated by a ÐßÐßÊÓÆµ school or on ÐßÐßÊÓÆµ property, regardless of the funding source or event sponsor (e.g., school, PTA, or partner organization).
