2 Discipline Management Plan and Student Code of Conduct Vehicles on Campus High school students who drive to and from school in personal vehicles must: 1. Obtain and appropriately display a student parking permit; 2. Park in a designated student parking area on campus; 3. Adhere to individual school parking rules; and 4. Have a signed consent for random drug testing on file. Failure to obtain and appropriately display the required permit or to park in an approved student parking area may result in: 1. Vehicle immobilization (boot); 2. Fee assessed for boot removal; 3. Loss of driving and parking privileges; and/or 4. Other disciplinary action. Temporary permits may be acquired from an appropriate school office by students needing to drive on a short -term basis or using a substitute car they do not regularly drive to school. Student vehicles are only to be driven in the student parking lots. Student drivers are not to enter the bus, faculty, or administrator/visitor areas between 6:45 am and 3:00 pm on school days. Student drivers are expected to operate vehicles in a safe manner at all times and not in any way to make themselves noticed by the way they drive except by courteous and responsible behavior. The maximum speed limit in the parking lot is ten (10) miles per hour. Vehicles parked on school property are under the jurisdiction of the school. The school reserves the right to search any vehicle if reasonable suspicions exist to do so. A student has full responsibility for the security of his/her vehicle and should make certain that it is locked and that the keys are not given to others. A student will be held responsible for any prohibited objects or substances, such as tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or weapons, that are found in his/her car and will be subject to disciplinary action by the District as well as referral for criminal prosecution for having such objects or substances on school property. Searches of vehicles may be conducted at any time there is reasonable suspicion to do so, with or without the presence of the student. Students who park on campus must adhere to all regulations outlined in student handbooks. If a vehicle subject to search is locked, the student shall be asked to unlock the vehicle. If the student refuses, the District shall contact the student s parents. If the parents also refuse to permit the vehicle to be searched, the District may contact local law enforcement officials and turn the matter over to them. [See FNF (LOCAL)] Katy ISD is not responsible for damage to vehicles or items in vehicles parked on campus at any time. Illegally parked cars may be towed or impounded by a boot locked on a car tire at the owner s expense. High school students should remove all items needed during the school day from vehicles parked on campus when they arrive in the morning. Students are prohibited from being in the parking lots except upon their arrival and dismissal from school. Students who return to a vehicle during the school day, without prior approval, may be disciplined and may be subject to having the vehicle searched. A campus administrator may terminate a student s driving privileges at any time that he/she feels this action is appropriate (i.e. excessive tardies and truancy). Loss of driving privileges does not allow another student driver to drive the offender s vehicle while he/she (the offender) rides as a passenger.
