Supreme Court to hear student strip-search case

From The New York Times: The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the case of a girl who was strip-searched at an Arizona school after being suspected of possessing prescription-strength pill. The case will require the justices to consider the thorny question of just how much leeway school officials should have in policing zero-tolerance policies for drugs and violence, and the court is likely to provide important guidance to schools around the nation. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in San Francisco, ruled that school officials had violated the Fourth Amendment’s ban on unreasonable searches when they searched Savana Redding six years ago.
