STUDENT LOCKERS

Lockers are provided to students by the Chicopee Public Schools for the purpose of storage of books, school related equipment and personal belongings.  Contraband items (including weapons, illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages, stolen property, etc.) shall not be stored in student lockers and are subject to confiscation by school officials.

Students are expected to keep the lockers locked and in good and orderly condition.  Lockers are not to be shared by students.  For the security of students’ possessions, locker combinations are not to be divulged to any other student.  The lockers remain at all times the property of the Chicopee Public Schools.  Master keys and locker combinations are retained by the Chicopee Public Schools.  The Chicopee Schools reserves the right to inspect lockers for compliance with the above referenced regulations at any time.

Should the Chicopee Public Schools have reasonable grounds for suspecting that a student had violated or may be violating a law or school rule, an individualized search of the students locker may be conducted in a manner reasonably related to the nature of the infraction.

A copy of this policy shall be provided to all students through publishing in the appropriate student handbooks and code of conduct.
