Safe School Environment

Our district makes every attempt to provide a safe environment for students during the school day as well as at any event held in one of the school facilities.  In accordance with this procedure, the school district may elect to use a breathalyzer, metal detector or similar device at any or all campus events when the occasion of “probable cause” is evidenced.
