The Student Teacher Safety Act of 2006 (HR 5295)

[Hey Bubu]

Have you read about it?


(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.

So this means that if a teacher "thinks" someone might have drugs in school, they can begin a search? Isn't that what happened in S. Carolina, where Swat busted in and found nothing, yet they harrassed a bunch of students in the process...
