When the case went to the U.S. Supreme Court they ruled in a 6-3 margin in favor of the State of New Jersey. They agreed that the student’s 4th Amendment had not been violated and the search of personal possessions can apply to school officials, as long as the search is reasonable.

Imagine waking up to your blaring alarm clock and getting up to brush your teeth and eat breakfast. As you get dressed you realize something- it’s Monday morning and you simply cannot go to school because you are too afraid. 120,000 kids across the country feel this way every morning. They are afraid to go to school because they may possibly lose their life to an irresponsible child or teen with a gun. Locker searches can help these thousands of children and teens to feel safe. Clearly, the safety and well being of students in America should be the number one priority when considering policies for locker searches.

Personally I think it is a violation of the law in some cases. Schools do have the permission to search the lockers though because of the fact that it is their property they’ve funded it but there has been some situations with faculty searching your pockets and backpacks or even making you take off your clothing. Now the pocket and backpack check is something that they can do when you enter the building but not at random times. They have to have probable cause which means they need a reason to search you meaning the person who is conducting the search or a witness visibly see you with something you’re not supposed to have, or smell a use of drugs or alcohol.

On account of lockers being the school’s property it is legal for them to search them at any time under the right circumstances.

Although people may say that school administration should be able to carry concealed weapons on school campus for protection of themselves and their students, it is a very bad and dangerous decision. Bringing concealed weapons into schools could cause many tragic things to happen such as a child or teen to possibly pick up the weapon and harm themselves or others, having an unintentional discharge occur in class and it could also cause an increase in violent behavior. So, no administration has no business carrying concealed weapons to school for any reason. It's a bad idea and would just cause heart ache and a lot of unneeded stress.

John Holder, who is a philosophy teacher here on campus, says, “Carrying weapons onto campus is problematic due to the potential for intimidation and safety issues.” Holder says. “I do not see an issue with a student having one in their vehicle, but having a weapon on one’s person presents a dangerous precedent that would enable those who would do harm to more easily bring a weapon onto campus.”

Such actions that may violate a student’s constitutional rights as a citizen would be an administrator or school law enforcement searching a student or their personal belongings for unjustified reasons while in school. The boundaries of the fourth amendment are very complicated when dealing with the rights of students being that the school systems have

All the children have access to every material in the classroom, it is at eye level and everything that is breakable or even dangerous is at teacher level so the children can’t access it.

Have you ever had a locker in school or maybe one now? If so, then you will understand that you don’t want the school to do random searches of your personal items. Many school boards of education may think that random locker inspections are good for schools, but I disagree. Schools make it so items stay private by giving us lockers, so why do they do search through our personal items that we store away in our lockers. This essay has information on why these searches should come to a stop.

Where as others may believe that this will make the school system more of a bureaucracy. Further more those would also argue that most of the time lockers are hardly involved in the keeping of contrabands.

The time and energy which would be spent searching lockers could be used in more efficient way.

In high school there are a lot of rules, however, back packs in the classroom shouldn’t be worn. Our school has a policy that backpacks should not be one in or out of the classroom, passed the 8:15 bell. No doubt the main concern here is that the backpacks will clog up the isle in case of emergency, or a student could possibly conceal a weapon in their bag. Although if you're following those guidelines, there are some pretty concerning grey areas. Like how our laptop bags and assorted books, create the same amount, if not more clutter in the aisles then our bags. Even more so if you look at some of the baggy large cloths, kids wear, or some of the larger bags we bring for gym and sports, it holds the same threat for concealed weapons. However,

The primary advantage of locker searches is their effectiveness. Finding contraband material such as stolen property, drugs or weapons in a student's locker is an easy way to establish guilt and
