Title Virginia School Search Resource Guide, Including Student Search Guidelines
Document ID School Safety
Summary The Virginia guidelines were developed as a technical assistance document outlining relevant constitutional and statutory principles to guide local school authorities in developing local policy and practice. They are not intended to be regulations that displace local discretion and authority. The 2000 General Assembly passed legislation (House Bill No. 1445) to require school boards to develop and adopt regulations governing student searches and to be in effect for the 2001-2002 school year.
Effective Date 10/1/2000
