G.D.M. AND T.A.M., ET AL.
VS. BOARD OF EDUCATION OF THE RAMAPO INDIAN HILLS REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT,
BERGEN COUNTY A-0953-10T1
This appeal presents a
facial challenge to the validity of a regulation, promulgated by the Board of
Education of the Ramapo Indian Hills Regional High School District, that seeks
to control student conduct not only at school or during school related functions
and activities, but at all other times and places. The regulation asserts this
control by conditioning
student participation in
extracurricular activities on compliance with a specifically enumerated code of
student conduct, without requiring a nexus between the alleged violation of law
and school order or safety.
The then Acting
Commissioner of Education invalidated the regulation
because it exceeded the
authority conferred upon local school boards to
regulate student conduct.
We affirm. 07-24-12
