  Communities Act, schools must be totally free of
  unlawful drugs or alcohol. No one is allowed to
  posses, use, solicit, of distribute tobacco,
  drugs, or alcohol while at school or while taking
  part in any school activities.

  any object that could reasonably be considered a
  firearm or dangerous weapon or possessing any
  exploding item device or substance that would be
  capable of producing bodily harm or cause damage
  to property or disruption to the educational
  process is strictly prohibited.

60
Student Searches

• Administrators may make general searches of all
  student lockers, desks, storage areas, or
  automobiles parked on campus without prior notice
  given to students. An individual student, his/her
  property, and automobiles parked on campus, may
  be searched by school district employees if the
  search is reasonably related to the discovery of
  contraband or other evidence of a students
  violation of the law or school rules.

61
Drug Scenting Dogs

• The purpose behind inspections by dogs is to
  discourage students from bringing, keeping,
  and/or using drugs on school grounds. RCW
  28A.600.210 states The legislature finds that
  illegal drug activity and weapons in schools
  threaten the safety and welfare of our school
  children and pose a severe threat to the state
  educational system. School officials need to
  protect students from exposure to illegal drugs,
  weapons, and contraband. Searches of
  school-issued lockers and the contents of those
  lockers is a reasonable and necessary tool to
  protect the interests of the students of the
  state as a whole. With this purpose in mind,
  administration has the authority to invite
  drug-scenting dogs to conduct suspicionless
  searches on school property.

62
Closed Campus

• RHJH is a closed campus, which means you cannot
  leave the school grounds without parent
  permission once you have arrived (even before

  suspended from school. Closed campus also means
  that student guests/visitors from other schools
  or communities are not permitted during the
  school day or at extra-curricular school events
  with the exception of athletic events.

Human Dignity

• Recognizing and valuing that we are a diverse
  community, it is part of our mission to provide a
  positive, harmonious environment where diversity
  is respected and encouraged.
• A major aim of education in the Lake Washington
  School District is the development of a
  commitment to the core values of a democratic
  society. In accordance with that aim, the
  district strongly emphasizes a core value of
  mutual human respect for each person regardless
  of individual differences and /or characteristics
  including for example, but not necessarily
  limited to race, gender, age, disability,
  physical condition, sexual orientation, ethnic
  group or religion. We expect this value to be
  manifested in the daily behaviors of student,
  staff and volunteers.

64
Harrassment

• Because all employees and students have the right
  to work and learn in a non-intimidating
  environment, harassment will not be condoned or
  tolerated in the district. Harassment of any
  employee or student on the basis of individual
  differences including but not limited to gender,
  religion, race, age, ethnic group, disability,
  physical condition, sexual orientation, or
  marital status is a serious violation of district
  and school policy.

  directed. Sexual harassment is defined as verbal,
  visual, or physical advances made within the work
  and school setting and unwelcome by the person.
  Sexual harassment exists when (1) submission to
  the conduct is, either explicitly or implicitly,
  a term or condition of employment or education
  or (2) submission to or rejection of the conduct
  is used as the basis of an employment or
  school-related decision affecting such
  individual or (3) the conduct unreasonably
  interferes with the individuals job or
  educational performance or creates an environment
  that is intimidating, hostile or offensive.

  compliments of a socially acceptable nature. It
  refers to behavior related to the above
  definitions which is not welcome, is personally
  offensive and which interferes with efficacy or
  creates uneasiness.
