Glen Rock May Ban Pets from Borough Schools

Dog-walkers leaving sanitary issues at several borough schools and athletic fields prompted the proposed ban, report says.

Residents may soon be banned from bringing their pets to Glen Rock schools, NorthJersey.com reported.

According to the report, the Glen Rock Bard of Education introduced a policy banning unauthorized pets on school property that it hopes to pass this month. If passed, the policy will be sent to the borough council in the hopes that it will pass a resolution providing for the enforcement of the rule, the report said.

The rule is the result of "sanitary nuisances" brought on by dog-walkers at the middle/high school athletic complex, and on the elementary school properties, the report said.

If the policy is passed, locals who bring pets to school properties would be considered trespassing, and school officials would have the right to alert the Glen Rock Police Department, the report said.
