Question:

Can my child be searched at school?

Answer:

Yes, school officials may conduct searches on students while at school if they have a reasonable belief that the student has items like weapons, drugs, or other contraband. The search should be done in the presence of a third party, and the school must announce or publish the right to search lockers beforehand.
