Hi everyone… I’m really worried about what just happened with my son at school. The assistant principal searched his phone without any notice, and I can’t find anything in the school’s rules that allows this. Apparently, my son had recorded a fight but deleted it before they checked. Is this something schools are allowed to do?
That sounds really frustrating. Did they give him a reason for the search?
Wow, that’s a bit much! I thought they had to have a solid reason to go through personal belongings.
Did they find anything? It’s wild that they would still suspend him if nothing was on his phone.
I think filing a complaint is a good idea. They shouldn’t be able to get away with this.
Have you checked the student handbook? It might clarify their policies on searches.
