PERSONAL SEARCHES<br />
Students are subject to searches of purses, backpacks, coats, and clothing<br />
when reasonable suspicion indicates that such a search may be necessary to<br />
protect the health and safety of that student or any other student or staff member.<br />
Such searches will be authorized by administration and carried out without<br />
exposing the student’s body. In the event of physical resistance by the student,<br />
law enforcement may be asked to assist with the search. If illegal materials are<br />
found as a result of any search, parents will be notified and requested to meet<br />
with an administrator to discuss the situation and any follow-up action taken.<br />
Students may be questioned by administration separate from law enforcement<br />
questioning. Police will be notified of any illegal material and the student may<br />
be referred for school discipline or legal action. <strong>School</strong> discipline may include<br />
detention, suspension, or expulsion.<br />
