The drama that happened while AC was down.

Sadly, a legal pursuit will just wind up in tax payers paying the wrongs done by the *******. It is very upsetting, and the least you could do is petition to remove the man from the school board and take away his job. You should be entitled to the $300 spent on the drug test, which was completely unjustified.

If my dad found my sister alone with a man far older than she is alone, in the same room, with the doors shut, with him "searching" her (illegaly), that man would have several .45 caliber holes riddled throughout his torso.

I'm sorry to hear about this, and I hope that they can straighten it out.
 
Wow! Sure are alot of changes since I was a kid... As far as I know, you still cant search a kid in Canada..You can search a locker (because it is owned by the school, not the kid) but not them physically...The cops wont even touch it without good cause ie. a credible witness seeing them conceal drugs or weapons on their persons...Same goes for bags or purses..

No way, no how should an adult man in a postition of authority EVER have physical contact with a minor female child behind closed doors...At the very least he has just committed suicide career wise...

I feel terrible for your sister, it must of been a very horrifying ordeal. If it was my kid I would be the Boards worst nighmare...If the school wanted to make a big deal out of it and splash your sisters face all over the paper, MAKE A BIG DEAL OF IT...Let them know what is happening at that school.

Yes, courts have ruled that school personnel can search on suspicion,but there limited to baggage, bookbags ect that students bring to school, also it includes school property which would be lockers. However, when searching a person, the fourth admendment rule still applies. Searching a female student without no other person = No No! I don't know what the laws are governing juveniles are in your area, but I can tell you as a police officer, I would not search a juvenile (female) by myself, a female officer is appropriate. Also, parents must be notified immediately! IMHO, a civil rights violation has occured.

I totally agree that this may well be a civil rights violation, especially if the person was a minor.

Leopardess, I know your parents don't want any more trouble, but this is seriously wrong. And, as much as it pains me to say this, the ACLU may actually be a nice, strong ally in something like this. If your parents and or sister do decide to follow this further, www.aclu.org is their website. Best of luck to you and your sister. Oh, one more thing: if this happens to one student, don't you think it could be happening to more? Maybe speaking and acting now can help someone else. Food for thought.

This may be a criminal offense and not civil and therefore the taxpayers may not get screwed at all. Civil Rights violations are criminal matters; Leo's family does not have to sue.
 
I'm a tax payer and would have no problem with some of the money I pay in taxes going to fight this. I have two daughters (1 & 2 years old). If this happened to them I would be in jail and that man would be in intensive care.

Well, I would plan it out very thoroughly to try and keep from getting caught. But I would still put him in the hospital for a couple months at least.

...So, since then, my parents finally got the principal to admit to allowing her any resource she needs to make up midterms, to give her an apology, and to remove the suspension from her record. I would likely have not stopped there, but whatever.

How 'bout they get him to agree to keep his dam hands off her or they'll sue his a_ _ !! That B.S. about the search (just what gives him the right anyway???), especially without a female present... is just that... b.s.!!! I hope your parents call a lawyer. How many other female students has he done this to? He needs to be run out of there and has no right being in a position of authority.
 
I don't know about anyone else, but, forget the drug suspicion, this screams sexual harrassment of a minor to me. Does he indeed, search other girls and does he only search girls? Frickin' perv.
 
Wow Leo, sorry to hear about all that...Keep us updated, I'd like to know if anything else comes of the situation. By the way, how much longer is your sis stuck in this school?
 
If my daughter came home and told me the assistant principal searched her, in a room with no one else (better be a woman present), my arse would be in the principal's office in no time. And if he did nothing, then I'd be talking to the administrator. If they did nothing, I'd be talking to the press and a lawyer.

Even doctor's offices have to have a nurse present when doing a check up on a female patient. Even in my dentist's office!

I can't imagine the school has any different rights to searches.

As for suing the schools for millions, that comes from the tax payers. I'm not saying don't sue, I think the parents should be reinbursed their test money, but going for a large sum will only hurt the public.

Our schools are dropping programs like dead flies due to lack of funding. And I keep wondering where those billions of dollars from the lottery went.
