Local law enforcement authorities will be notified. 

Parents enrolling students at Antonian, and student attending Antonian shall permit the search lockers, student bags, student vehicles … with or without their permission and shall take into possession what it considers to be evidence.   If any illegal drugs are found in the possession of a student or in his/her vehicle, this evidence will be turned over to the local police, for prosecution, as required by law. 

The administration reserves the right to require a student to be tested for illegal drugs. When a request is made to be tested is made, failure to do so immediately or refusal to have test results sent directly to the Dean of Students and Admissions shall be grounds for immediate expulsion.  Students will be required to take the drug test, at their cost, at the Texas Med Clinic on Blanco and West Avenue.

HARRASSMENT AND HAZING

In keeping with the philosophy of the school that recognizes the dignity of every human person, harassment and hazing of any member of the school community, whether on or off the school property will not be tolerated.

When appropriate, law enforcement officials will be contacted when such harassment violates state and local statutes. Students who harass any member of the Antonian Community are liable for expulsion from the school.

OFF CAMPUS BEHAVIOR

Therefore, students who partake of alcohol or illegal drugs that are being used, provided, and dispensed, on or off campus, are in violation of the student behavior code and subject to dismissal from the school.
