STUDENT LOCKERS
5.8
Lockers are a privilege offered to students in the public schools. They are the
property of the public rather than any individual student and as such are subject to
inspection at any time subject to the following paragraphs:
1. When the welfare of the schools
indicate that an inspection of a locker should
take place such inspection shall be carried out by the administration of the
school.
2. When, upon request of a police
officer, it is anticipated that inspection of a
student's locker may be
necessary in connection with the collecting of evidence in
connection with a criminal matter such inspection shall be permitted only upon
the presentation of the required
warrant; and prior to such inspection, the pupil
and his parents
are to be advised that such an inspection is contemplated and that
they may be
present during the inspection of the locker if they so desire.
