House bill HR 5295
made it out of committee and passed, and is now going to the Senate for
review. This bill allows education officals and local police to just
randomly search, all the way to a strip search, any student they want
to, any time, based on suspicion only, basically whenever they feel
like it and say the magic words.

”
(a) In General- Each local educational agency shall have in effect
throughout the jurisdiction of the agency policies that ensure that a
search described in subsection (b) is deemed reasonable and
permissible. (b) Searches Covered- A search referred to in subsection
(a) is a search by a full-time teacher or school official, acting on
any reasonable suspicion based on professional experience and judgment,
of any minor student on the grounds of any public school, if the search
is conducted to ensure that classrooms, school buildings, school
property and students remain free from the threat of all weapons,
dangerous materials, or illegal narcotics. The measures used to conduct
any search must be reasonably related to the search’s objectives,
without being excessively intrusive in light of the student’s age, sex,
and the nature of the offense.”..more there
