Religion Right Students have the right to their own religious beliefs. Responsibility Students have the responsibility to ensure that in exercising their own religious freedom, they do not violate other students’ constitutional rights to religious freedom. Peaceful Assembly Right Students have the right to peaceful assembly which does not disrupt or disturb classroom instruction. Responsibility Students have the responsibility to secure approval for using school facilities for assembly, to discuss with an administrator the appropriateness of the facility for the functions, and to ensure that such assembly does not disrupt the educational process. Non-availability of adequate supervision shall constitute grounds for disapproval of such assembly. Privacy Right Students have the right to protection from unlawful search and seizures of their personal possession(s) or their persons. Responsibility Students have the responsibility not to endanger themselves, other students, school personnel, or the general public by possessing material or objects which are potentially hazardous and/or prohibited by federal, state, or local law, or the requirements of this Handbook. Transportation Right Transportation to and from school and to school activities is a privilege, not a right; students do, however, have a right to safe and orderly transportation when such transportation is provided by the school system. Responsibility Students have the responsibility to ensure that their conduct contributes to a safe and orderly atmosphere while being transported; to refrain from conduct which will offer a hazard to themselves, their fellow students or the general public; and to refrain from violating federal, state or local law or the requirements of this Handbook. 34
