Purpose
This proposal’s purpose is to gain approval to write a recommendation report on improving the locker program at the PCC Southeast campus. We will send this report to Josh Peters-McBride, who is the Director of the Student Life and Leadership Programs at Southeast.
Explanation of Research
We started our research by locating the lockers on campus. We discovered that there are forty small lockers in the library. They are checked out for up to four hours a day through the library. We then took the following steps to collect data for a research paper for improving the locker program on the Southeast Portland Community College campus.
• We interviewed Nicole Seery, the Assistant Coordinator for the Student Life and Leadership

Description of Report
Our team is writing an eight-page recommendation report on improving the current locker program at the Southeast campus. The outline of the report is detailed below by each section.
Title page: listing the title, “Recommendation to Expand the Southeast Campus Locker Program” and Josh Peters-McBride as the person we will send it to. It will also show Erick Gonzalez-Mejia, Juliana -Gonzalez-Mejia, Jonathan Heinz and Christi Justice as the report authors and the date the report was completed.
Table of Contents: this will show where to find the Introduction, Opportunity, Research Process and Analysis, Recommendation, Resources, and Appendix inside the report. It will also include page numbers for a picture of the current lockers at Southeast, a bar graph showing the level of interest in lockers and another that shows the length of time students predict they would use a locker per term.
Introduction: a brief explanation that the report is recommending improvements to the Locker Program that is currently in place at the Southeast campus.
Opportunity: this will be one page and explain what the current locker program is at the Southeast campus and at the two campuses that have “official” locker programs.
Research: two pages that will detail how we did our research. This will have an
In conclusion Bull Run middle school has to change a lot of things with the lockers that they have.
Although random locker searches invade student's privacy or violate civil rights, it could insure the safety of the student that has the locker and it insures the safety of the other students. Someone could make sure that there is not a gun or knife in the locker. It makes sure that there are no drugs hidden in the locker.
Imagine waking up to your blaring alarm clock and getting up to brush your teeth and eat breakfast. As you get dressed you realize something- it’s Monday morning and you simply cannot go to school because you are too afraid. 120,000 kids across the country feel this way every morning. They are afraid to go to school because they may possibly lose their life to an irresponsible child or teen with a gun. Locker searches can help these thousands of children and teens to feel safe. Clearly, the safety and well being of students in America should be the number one priority when considering policies for locker searches.
There are many bad reasons why we shouldn’t change lockers every year. First, it could be harder to find classes and lockers. If we change lockers every year we might not know where the locker is or where the classes are. Second, you have to keep learning different combinations. For example, my friend remembered her combination from last year and kept putting it in her locker this year. Finally, you would need to know how much time it takes to go to your locker than to class. You would have to hurry to your locker, that might be far away and grab your stuff. In conclusion, there are many reasons and examples why changing lockers every year is a bad
This article addresses how modern constructed public buildings are often unsafe. This is because most of them include big windows and large open spaces designed to inspire patrons of the building. Instead of fortressing these structures, this piece suggests renovating the entrances. This agrees with the essay in the way both stress the importance of front-end security. It gives many helpful tips at further improving entrance security. Atlas does mention not wanting to make schools
Safety is, ”the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury” (“Dictionary”, n.d.). That is what locker searches provide for schools. With the early case of New Jersey v. T.L.O, a teacher caught a 14 year old girl smoking a cigarette in the bathroom. This led the teacher to send the girl to the principal in which the assistant principal decided to check her bag and locker for more cigarettes or other contraband. The assistant principal found marijuana and a list of people that owed the girl money. The teen took the school to court for
As a fellow Trojan living in the heart of a huge metropolitan city of Los Angeles, we are constantly bombarded by news of local crimes. Though sheltered in our little bubble of university life, we are still reminded of the dangers lurking in the shadows, perpetually threatening our sense of individual security. As a student, these fears most likely consist of physical safety such as being robbed, so an easy fix is just to not walk home alone and be more aware of the environment. If more support is needed, there are campus security,
In contrast, the biggest drawback to random locker searches is the lack of trust a student may feel as the result of these actions. Agreeable, some students could feel as if this is an invasion of their privacy. They may be keeping very private things in their lockers if they feel that is a safe place for them. Conducting a random locker search is a way to make many students and possibly parents, angry. Some things just do not need to be broadcasted among
Backpacks are convenient and useful when it comes to using them during school. However, most schools statewide have instituted “no backpack” policies in schools, asking students to instead rely on lockers to store their books and supplies, and there is a diversity of opinions. Alison DeNisco stated that Aubrey Chancellor, spokesperson for the North East ISD in San Antonio mentioned “The idea is that clear bags will act as a deterrent and make it harder for someone to bring a weapon on campus.” This is an alternatives to solving the problem for students who wish to and need to carry backpacks. Many schools across the globe have banned backpacks in school, affecting children who would use backpacks wisely, but clear back-packs could be one solution.
When the lockers were first issued, I helped with the locker keys and locker number assignment. There is an excel file in the share drive that some supervisors still use to keep their locker information up to date—I don’t think everyone is doing it. You may want to send this email to all the sups requesting this information.
In conclusion, even though there are many different pros and cons about searching school lockers humans today need to search them if need when needed.Although school locker searches can be bad in some legal
We saw this as a good plan for our project because it collided with our passion project and allowed us to work on it along the way with our research. It would also provide incoming freshmen new lockers or locks to use instead of having to use half broken lockers or barely working locks; allowing them to have a better highschool experience since for at least 2-3 years of their highschool they will be using the lockers for a physical education class. To be having to use worn down locks for most of your highschool years would be a bit annoying and displeasing and sort of bring down the moral and environment of students during their P.E. class. If we were able to get these new lockers or new locks then they would be able to remain in a decent condition for years to come, providing that the students take a little amount of care with their locks or
It has been highlighted to my attention that a freedom I now have may soon be taken away from me. I am alluding to the opportunity of putting away my effects at school with genuine feelings of serenity, realizing that they will be sheltered from prying eyes inside my locker. The strategy of arbitrary locker looks that you are thinking about won't control grounds savagery or lessen understudy medicate utilize; it will essentially abuse the security of all understudies on our grounds. On the off chance that you wish to make our grounds more secure, why not consider programs that would make outcasts feel included?
The primary advantage of locker searches is their effectiveness. Finding contraband material such as stolen property, drugs or weapons in a student's locker is an easy way to establish guilt and
So to wrap it all up, I have presented you 3 (in my opinion) solid answers of why we should have lockers.
