do schools have the right to search students?

yes, they can search knapsacks and lockers, I don't know if they can search the actual body of a student.

I don't think you can discriminate a teacher on whether they are gay, have a kid before getting married, or have sex before marriage. That would be unfair termination. \n\nThis is the US version of it:\nTitle VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 makes   discrimination on the basis of national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, disabilities, arrest record, military discharges, or personal information (such as height and weight) illegal.  Any question that asks a candidate to reveal information about his or her national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, disabilities, arrest record, military discharges, or personal information is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. \n\nIf that teacher is a good teacher, it shouldn't matter if he or she is gay or straight or has a kid without being married. Does that make them less of a role model? PARENTS need to be the ultimate role model.

Check the schools websites and narrow your request to your area.

It's probably SAT-9.  The school probably sent the tests to the state, and the state should send the results to you.  But I don't know, without knowing which state we're talking about, whether the school gets individual student scores back from the state or only schoolwide scores.  Nevertheless, the school keeps a cum (cumulative) file on your student, and you have a legal right to see it.  Insist.  If necessary, insist with a lawyer in tow, and if necessary talk to the district, county, and state school boards.

i'm a teacher. you have no rights. \n\nseriously, consult your student handbook. you will see EXACTLY what kind of rights you have. that info depends entirely on where you are and what kind of school.

It would see that a roommate CAN give the police consent to search...\n\nhttp://writ.news.findlaw.com/colb/20050518.html

You might be able to go through legal channels and the police?  You could also just come right out and ask the school but I'm sure that you may not trust that source.

This is an infringement on the rights of your students and their parents, unless they have signed a release.\n\nBelieve me, i teach special education and I know they would be a wonderful tool.  We could learn a lot about our students.  They could be used as a safety tool, however, they cannot be secret.

Ya, they do seem to have just made up the rule. \nI don't know which state you may live in, so I can't answer this question, since rules are different in different places. At my school we don't have UIL. But if I was you, I would properly ask the NHS sponsor or the principal.

Probably not. That sounds extreme and unfair to me. I would ask a lawyer or look at the schools dress code though. You could probably sue them...But that requires a lawyer. But yeah, check out the dress code. Hope that helps\n\n\npeace

The school will do a criminal background check on you.  All you have to do is be %100 honest on your application-- I'm pretty sure they will find something if it is there.

I don't know about specific laws in Maine, but in NC I believe the teachers can hold back a student without consent. If they want to hold your child back, it's probably for the best.

Sure you do.  It just depends what you consider your civil rights to be.  Generally, your civil rights are freedom from discrimination based on race, religion, sexual orientation and the like.  This is different than the Bill of Rights - freedom from unreasonable search and siezure, freedom of speech, and things like that.  I'm not sure exactly how it works in Texas, but in New York, if you are a minor and are in school, then your principal is your legal guardian while you are at school and school related functions, so he can legally make decisions that you would normally think only yourself or your parents can make (minors are not legally able to give consent).

I don't know that they have to tell you who they interviewed, but who they hired is a matter of public information.  (For instance, most school districts now have websites on which their teachers are listed.)

The main way it affects such a case is that it forbids the states from denying to any person within its jurisdiction the "equal protection of the laws." Thus, the state must provide the same educational opportunities to minoritiy students as to everyone else.

Yes, I'm sure there are many people that go to said school. Perhaps you should rephrase your question.

i believe they are trying to ask if you go to a school outside the district in which you reside
