Shasta, a 15-year-old freshman, brought her MP3 player to 4th period English class and listened to music while her teacher, Ms. Jones, checked roll. School rules prohibited possession of electronic devices in classrooms, but not in lockers, book bags, purses and so forth. Consequently, Ms Jones confiscated the MP3 player and placed it in her desk. At some point during the class period Ms. Jones
was called to the office on an urgent matter. While Ms. Jones was out of the room Kyle Lacy removed the MP3 player from Ms Jones' desk and returned it to Shasta. Upon returning to class Ms Jones noticed the missing contraband. She asked the students to turn it in, but no one did. Ms Jones summoned the principal, Mr. Logons. Mr. Logons instructed everyone to open their book bags, pull out their pockets, and untuck their shirts. The search did not lead to the discovery of the MP3 player. During the search one student quietly informed Mr. Logons that Kyle had taken the MP3 player and had given it back to Shasta. Not wanting to identify the informant, Mr. Logons sent for his female assistant principal. He instructed the female AP to take Shasta and four other freshman girls individually into a storage closet and have them shake out their blouses and roll down their waistbands. However, according to Shasta the AP asked her to remove her jeans and unbutton her shirt. Shasta's parents brought suit against Mr. Logons and his female assistant principal. Does this scenario represent a structured or ill-structured problem? Identify two characteristics of the case that support your answer. What is the legal question(s) in this case? Is the alleged request that Shasta remove her jeans and unbutton her shirt consistent with Bentham's principles of proportionality? Why or why not? Review the idea of a well-ordered school (Chapter 5). Would this search promote or detract from a well ordered school? Using Safford v. Redding as a guide argue for or against qualified immunity for the principal and assistant principal in this scenario Explain at least three appropriate steps school administrators can take to educate faculty and staff on the importance of proper student search procedures
