Good question.  I live in pennsylvania, so it would pertain to the
united states in general but to pennsylvania in particular.

Thanks.

Hi,
Here are two cases by the ACLU that suggest the school districts
sometimes think they have broader authority than they do.  The other
two sites are from the PA state law, the first one the section of it
about students, the second one, the whole part on education.
