Being aware of prior complaints from class members of missing money, lunches, and other items, and knowing that no one had left the class-room that morning, defendant Reardon commenced a search of the class, with the aid of fellow teachers and school officials, all of whom are named as defendants herein. Plaintiff Doe was one of those students to which a dog continued to alert after she emptied her pockets. 215 (E.D.Pa.1976), both 1983 actions involving student searches, and cited by both parties in their memoranda, clearly hinged in their holdings upon police involvement in the searches, a factor not present in this case. Bellnier v. Lund, 438 F. Supp. 2d 731 (1969) (First Amendment protection when wearing black armbands as a form of student expression); In re Gault,387 U.S. 1, 87 S. Ct. 1428, 18 L. Ed. 2d 453 (1977).

After each alert, the student was asked to empty his or her pockets or purse. 288 (S.D.Ill.1977). Once inside the room, no student left prior to the alleged search now the subject of this action. challenging on Due Process and Cruel and Unusual Punishment grounds, the use of corporal punishment by school officials, the Court seemingly assumed ab initio that the actions complained of constituted "state action". Plaintiff Leonti stated that he was sure that he had $4.00 when he arrived at school, showing defendant Reardon the four raffle ticket stubs indicating sales proceeds in the amount of $4.00, only $1.00 of which remained in Leonti's pocket. Upon removal, her clothing was briefly examined, her hair was lifted to determine if any substances were hidden in it, and she was immediately permitted to dress. Subjecting a student to a nude search is more than just the mild inconvenience of a pocket search, rather, it is an intrusion into an individual's basic justifiable expectation of privacy. 777] the court ruled a strip search of a student to be unconstitutional. Commonwealth v. Dingfelt, 227 Pa.Super. Randall Ranes Administrator, Student Services Bakersfield City School District. Plaintiff's assertion misreads the present state of the law concerning the use of drug detecting canines. Weighing the minimal intrusion against the school's need to rid itself of the drug problem, the actions of the school officials leading up to an alert by one of the dogs was reasonable and not a search for purposes of the Fourth Amendment. From September 1978 to March 22, 1979, twenty-one instances were recorded when students were found in possession of drugs, drug paraphernalia or alcohol, or under the influence of drugs. F.R.C.P. Pendergast did not participate in the illegal search of plaintiff Doe, nor does any evidence show he conducted the search. Not to use drugs was considered not to be "cool" by members of the student body who did use drugs. Since no search was performed up until the time the dogs alerted, no warrant was necessary for the initial observation by the school officials. In Bell v. Wolfish, 441 U.S. 520, 578 (1979) (Marshall, J., dis- senting), Justice Marshall used the phrase to describe routine strip searches of prisoners after contact visits. *1020 There is no question as to the right and, indeed, the duty of school officials to maintain an educationally sound environment within the school.

[1] The 13 students involved in drug related incidents were withdrawn from the school system. See, M. v. K.C.L.Rev. A common thread that runs through all four of the above cited circuit cases was the fact that the law enforcement officers had previous independent information or "tips" concerning the whereabouts of the drugs that were later sniffed out by the dogs. The state's petition for certiorari in T.L.O. Also considered as a factor in the above cited dog-sniffing cases was the absence of any normal or justifiable expectation of privacy with respect to the objects searched. Upon being asked to enter the inner office, two women introduced themselves to the plaintiff. No. den., 423 U.S. 1058, 96 S. Ct. 794, 46 L.

Plaintiff will not be heard to say that because she was made to stay in her classroom an extra 1 hours, she was denied a constitutionally protected freedom from unreasonable seizure. While a school student does not shed at the schoolhouse door rights guaranteed by either the Fourth Amendment or any other constitutional provision (Tinker v. Des Moines School District, supra), the student's Fourth Amendment and other constitutional rights are modified by that limited in loco parentis relationship which the school officials have with the students.

This Court now finds that in a public school setting, school officials clothed with the responsibilities of caring for the health and welfare of the entire student population, may rely on such general information to justify the use of the canines to detect narcotics. 1214 (N.D.Ill., E.D.1976), and Potts v. Wright,357 F. Supp. 375 F.Supp. Professors, teachers and school administrators are increasingly faced with concerns not even thought of in previous decades. The response prompted the assistant vice principal 2d 824 (1979). [6] Although it was not properly defined at trial, a body search was something less than the nude search that plaintiff complains she was subject to. This Court cannot say as a matter of law that the alerting of a trained dog standing alone is sufficient to establish reasonable cause to believe a complete body search by school officials in surroundings that insure and maintain human dignity. However, in matters concerning the reasonable exercise of supervision and authority by school officials, this Court recognizes that a certain balancing occurs between an individual student's rights and the school administrator's need to protect all students and the educational process. Several hundred parents or patrons of the Highland School System were permitted to intervene as party defendants. No. See also, Shelton v. Pargo, Inc., 582 F.2d 1298 (4th Cir.
