Zero Tolerance
We at El Camino have always had high expectations of our students, expecting and receiving responsible behavior. The Los Angeles Unified School District has adopted a "zero tolerance" policy in regard to violence and drugs on campus. That policy is in effect at El Camino Real. If a student is involved in a fight, is in possession of a weapon, or is involved with drugs, he or she will be asked to leave El Camino Real. If you suspect that a student is in possession of a weapon or you are concerned for your safety, please see one of the deans. If you would like to report a weapon on campus, please call the hotline: (800) 954-HELP. (Fehte)
