The school administration retains control over lockers and desk space assigned to students, and regulates admission and parking of automobiles on school grounds. The administration therefore has the right and duty to inspect and search students’ lockers and desks and student or non-student automobiles if the administration reasonably suspects, upon information received from law enforcement officials or other sources, that drugs, weapons, dangerous illegal or prohibited matter, or goods stolen from school or from members of the staff or student body, are likely to be found therein. The administration, in exercise of the school’s duty to enforce school discipline and to protect the health and safety of the student and/or student body, also has the right and duty to search a student’s person if it has a reasonable degree of suspicion that drugs, weapons, dangerous illegal or prohibited matter, or such stolen goods, are likely to be found on the student’s person. The items of such search may be turned over to law enforcement officials for inspection or examination and may be the subject of criminal or juvenile court prosecution, or of school disciplinary proceedings.

Failure to comply with the Administrative Search Policy will result in an automatic ten (10) day suspension and police notification.
