Once a reasonable suspicion justifying a search has been established,
the following general guidelines should be followed.
For ease of reading, the student will be referred to in the
masculine gender; however, these procedures apply equally to female and male
students.
A. Remove Student to a Private Area
-
Personally escort the student to be searched directly to
the office or other private location.
-
Maintain visible contact with the student from the time he
is retrieved from the classroom or other school area, to the time he
reaches the search location to ensure he does not abandon contraband or
evidence.
-
At least two staff members should escort the student as a
precaution against the student fleeing or resisting school officials.
-
Stops along the way to the search location should not be
permitted.
