Metal Detectors in Public Schools: A Policy Perspective.
Johnson, Robert S.
West's Education Law Quarterly, v2 n2 p359-65 Apr 1993
Before electing to utilize metal-detection devices for random weapons searches of students, school districts should be prepared for the possibility of having to litigate the legality of their policies. Reviews the limited case law on the subject, and offers recommendations to districts that decide to proceed with the development of such a policy. (25 references) (MLF)
