Uh, this is a um an update to board policy 09.436. This is our search and seizure policy. And what we're looking to do is to update our language in this so that we can use this throughout the school day. Uh, and throughout the school day would allow us to search for vapes, uh, and those type of things as well. Currently, we can use our metal detectors at the front door.

004If during a search we were to find a vape, obviously we could take it. Uh but this policy change and the wording would reflect that uh that would actually be our purpose throughout the school day and I would recommend approving the or accepting the changes. >> Okay, any questions? >> I do have a question before we vote. Um, just for my own knowledge, when a student gets caught with a vape, are the parents normally aware that they're vaping or are they not aware? Do you know a just a roundabout? >> I know. Yeah. When I when I was principal that if we, you know, we would have our slips that would go home or a phone call home. Either way, there would be a piece of paper home. Uh, but then we would typically we

005would call the parent and say, "We found this. This is these are the consequences. I don't I don't know what the current practice is at the high school or middle school. >> But how many of those parents were aware that their children were vaping? >> Oh, I got um I think most would have not been aware. Uh we did have a few that were aware. We had a few that would ask us for uh the vape to be returned and we we didn't return them. Um that was our our practice. Not saying it was the best, but that's what we did. Well, but if you're giving it back, then you're giving it back to a minor. So, yeah, >> that's that's Yes. We and we didn't even give it back to the parent. >> They

006shouldn't have had it on campus, so sorry. >> Yep. Okay, good. That answered my question. Thank you. >> Any other questions?
