Service dogs (not “emotional support dogs” or “emotional support animals”) for those individuals with disabilities should be identified by their signature SERVICE DOG vest that states they are in fact a service dog (there are a number of identifiable service dog vests). As long as a service dog has an identifiable vest or tag, they are allowed in\/on\/at LPS venues\/LPS contracted venues. If the dog is for emotional support, per district policy, they are not allowed in\/on\/at LPS athletic and activity functions.<\/p>

In the end, as long as a service dog has a visible SERVICE DOG vest or SERVICE DOG tag stating that they are a service dog, they will be allowed at LPS athletic and activity functions. Per LPS legal, as a district, we are only allowed to ask for documentation regarding service dogs if the service dog does not have an identifiable vest\/identifiable tag.<\/p>

Finally, if the service dog is out of control, not house broken or is a direct threat (aggressive, attacking, barking, etc..) to the health and safety of others, the service dog will need to leave LPS property\/LPS contracted property.<\/p>

In addition to the policies attached above, service dogs may also perform the following…<\/p>

  • Protection: Providing nonviolent protection or rescue work<\/li>
  • Pulling: Pulling a wheelchair<\/li>
  • Physical Support: Providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability to individuals with mobility issues.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
