The Board of Education is proposing several changes to the Hawaii Administrative Rules regarding student privacy and discipline:

• Students will have no expectation of privacy in their lockers.  This will give schools virtually unfettered discretion to search any student's locker and all its contents at anytime without cause.
• The rules will explicitly permit drug-sniffing dogs.  Most U.S. currency has sufficient traces of drug residue on it to cause a trained dog to alert, and even the best dogs are wrong between 12%-60% of the time.  As a result, a lare number of innocent students may be strip-searched at school.
