SEARCHES OF STUDENTS AND PROPERTY – JCAB/JCABB

Principals are authorized to search students and a student’s property if there is reasonable suspicion that district policies, rules or directives are being violated. Strip searches shall not be conducted by school authorities. All searches by the principal shall be carried out in the presence of another adult witness.

LOCKERS - JCAB
Lockers in the district schools shall be under supervision of the principal. Students shall have no expectation of privacy in any school locker.
The combinations and/or keys to all locker locks shall be in the possession of the principal and stored in a place designed to guard against unauthorized access or use. The principal may search any locker at any time without notice. Students shall not place locks other than those issued by the school on any locker.

INTERROGATIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS - JCAC
Building administrators and others designated by the superintendent may conduct investigations and question students about infractions of school rules or the student conduct code. If there is reason to believe a violation of a criminal law has been committed, the principal shall notify the appropriate law enforcement agency and may request further investigation of the alleged violation.

When law enforcement officers conduct an investigation and/or question a student(s) during school hours, the building principal shall make reasonable attempts to contact parents, guardian or representative of the student(s) prior to questioning. To the extent possible reasonable requests of the parents, guardian or representative shall be observed. Notification or attempted notification of parents, guardian or representative shall be documented by the administrator involved. If a student’s parents, guardian or representative is not present during questioning of a student, the principal or a certified school staff member shall be present.
