Extractions: In recent decades, Congress and state legislatures along with the national and state courts have actively addressed the issues of school crime, violence, and disorder. A large body of law currently affects this area. Congress has made school-related drug trafficking a federal crime. It has imposed requirements for states to impose penalties for weapons possession in schools. The U.S. Supreme Court has strengthened the search authority of school officials and improved the ability of educators to enforce rules restricting student expression that interferes with safe, orderly schools. The Supreme Court has clearly stated, however, that students carry their civil rights with them into school, even if those rights are less extensive than comparable rights held by adults. Although it is important for educators to understand their obligations and limitations in maintaining safe schools, it is equally important that they understand and respect the rights of students in the process. Educators concerned with school order and safety should be aware of the following statutes and court decisions: Federal Law: The federal "schoolyard statute," which is part of the Comprehensive Crime Control Act, enhances the penalty by making it a federal crime to traffick drugs within 1,000 feet of a school.
