Even if a parent grants consent for emergency medical treatment, when a student becomes ill or is
injured and requires emergency medical treatment while under school authority, or while engaged in an
extra-curricular activity authorized by the appropriate school authorities, the building
administrator(s) shall make reasonable attempts to contact the parent before treatment is given. The
school representative shall present the student's Emergency Medical Authorization Form or a copy
thereof to the hospital or practitioner rendering treatment.

The Emergency Medical Authorization Form will be kept in a separate, easily accessible file in each
school building during the school year.

Any time a student or a group of students is taken out of the District to participate in a school event,
the staff in charge of the event must take the Emergency Medical Authorization Forms for those
students. This includes, and is not limited to, students involved in music trips, athletic trips, field
trips, and academic contests. This does not include student spectators at events.

Whenever it is necessary for staff members to use emergency procedures in order to care properly
for a student, they are to follow the procedures described in the Superintendent's administrative
guidelines. Staff members shall not abide by any "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) order that may exist for
a student, unless ordered to do so by a court of law. If a student has a DNR order in his/her
educational records and/or DNR identification with him/her, school staff will, to the extent feasible,
notify any responding Emergency Medical Services Personnel of the existence of the DNR
identification/order.

Interrogations and Searches

The Board of Education recognizes that the privacy of students or their belongings may not be
violated by unreasonable search and seizure and directs that no student be searched without
reasonable suspicion or in an unreasonable manner.

The Board acknowledges the need for in-school storage of student possessions and shall provide
storage places, including desks and lockers, for that purpose. Such spaces remain the property of the
Board and, in accordance with law, may be the subject of random search. Where locks are provided for
such places, students may lock them against incursion by other students, but in no such places shall
students have such an expectation of privacy as to prevent examination by a school official. The Board
directs the school principals to conduct a routine inspection at least annually of all such storage places.

School authorities are charged with the responsibility of safeguarding the safety and well-being of the
students in their care. In the discharge of that responsibility, school authorities may search the
person or property, including vehicles, of a student, with or without the student's consent, whenever
