Authorized personnel may search any motorized vehicles brought onto school property by a student at any time upon reasonable suspicion that the motorized vehicle contains:
- Evidence of a violation of any local ordinance or state/federal law;
- Evidence of a violation of the Code or any other Board of Education policy or administrative regulations;
- Any item which represents a danger of physical harm or illness to any student, staff, guest, or school property, whether on school property, at a school sponsored event, or going to or from school.
Such a search may be conducted without notice to the student. Students refusing to cooperate in allowing a search of the motorized vehicle shall immediately lose their driving and parking privileges and shall be subject to further disciplinary action as specified in the Handbook.
To protect the health, safety, or welfare of the students and school community, law enforcement will be contacted to assist in searching a vehicle brought on to school property by a non-student. A certified detection dog and handler may be used to develop reasonable suspicion and initiate a search.
