The Superintendent or designee may refuse to register any visitor if he/she reasonably concludes that the individual's presence or acts would disrupt the school, students, or employees; would result in damage to property; or would result in the distribution or use of a controlled substance. The Superintendent or designee or school security officer may revoke any visitor's registration if he/she has a reasonable basis for concluding that the individual's presence on school grounds would interfere or is interfering with the peaceful conduct of school activities or would disrupt or is disrupting the school, students, or staff.

(Penal Code 627.7)
Appeal Procedure
Any person who is denied registration or whose registration is revoked may appeal to the Superintendent by submitting, within five days after the person's departure from school, a written request for a hearing.
