7.11 Search and Seizure by School Personnel.
Lockers remain the property of the school and are provided to students without charge.
The rights of personal property, however, as well as the rights of the school, must be afforded consideration. The school principal or his designee is authorized to open lockers in the presence of another witness and to examine their contents to include personal belongings of students when such person has reasonable suspicion to believe that the contents threaten the safety, health, or welfare of any student or include property stolen from the school, school personnel, or other students. This policy does not preclude administrators from being able to randomly search lockers or randomly use a law enforcement trained narcotics detection dog. The right of students as citizens to be free from unreasonable search shall be preserved in the schools. As such, school officials shall proceed with extreme caution when engaging in the search of a student's person.
