Any prohibited materials (or materials that may be found to be prohibited) that are found in an employee’s possession during an inspection or search will be collected and placed in a sealed container or envelope.
The employee’s name, date, circumstances under which the materials were collected, and by whom they were collected will be recorded and attached to the container or written on the envelope. If after further investigation, the collected materials prove not to be prohibited, they will be returned to the employee, and the employee will sign a receipt for the contents. If the prohibited materials prove to be illegal and/or dangerous, they will not be returned to the employee but will be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency. From time to time, and without prior announcement, inspections or searches may be made of anyone entering, leaving, or on the premises or property of the school (including alcohol and/or drug screens or other testing). Refusal to cooperate in such an inspection or search (including alcohol and/or drug screens) is grounds for corrective action up to and including termination of employment.

This assignment may be on temporary or recurring basis or may be assigned to the employee during the term of his/her employment.
