Section 10-038.
Searches by Trained Dogs
Upon reasonable suspicion or in the
interest of serving as a deterrent, and at the request of the administration,
law enforcement officers or licensed private agencies may use trained dogs on
school premises to identify student property which may contain illegal or
illicit materials and to determine whether materials are present which may
threaten the general health, welfare, and safety of students and/or district
employees. The purpose of such use
shall be to discourage the possession of drugs on school property and to serve
as a deterrent to general drug abuse. The
Principal and/or Assistant Principal shall be present at any time that trained
dog searches are being carried out.
