SCANNING

Rochester City School District policy requires that all students are subject to random metal detection scanning. Anyone refusing to be scanned or in the possession of any prohibited items may be referred for long-term suspension. Some of these items are, but not limited to, glass bottles, permanent or Sharpie Markers, scissors and lighters/matches or weapons of any kind or any type of alcohol, drugs and/or paraphernalia.

All items that may be deemed inappropriate are at the discretion of the Administration. Items will be taken away from students and parents may retrieve confiscated items from the grade appropriate Assistant Principal.

** Any medication found during scanning, without a doctor’s note, will be given to the School Nurse for the student to obtain permission to carry.

The Rochester City School District does not discriminate on the basis of an individual's actual or perceived race, color, religion, creed, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship status, age, marital status, partnership status, disability, predisposing genetic characteristics, sexual orientation, gender (sex), military status, veteran status, domestic violence victim status or political affiliation, and additionally does not discriminate against students on the basis of weight, gender identity, gender expression, and religious practices or any other basis prohibited by New York State and/or federal non-discrimination laws in employment or its programs and activities. The District provides equal access to community and youth organizations.
