Supreme Court limits strip searches in schools ruling
The Supreme Court ruled the 2003 strip search of 13-year-old Savana Redding unconstitutional and degrading, establishing limits on searches for drugs in schools. It upheld that backpack checks and outer clothing inspections are permissible with reasonable suspicion, but stripping levels require far higher justification. The decision leaves the case against individual staff and the district partly unresolved due to uncertain law at the time.
