Page Two TIGER TOPICS- June 1980 School Lockers "Unlatched" At Schools Probably one thing teenagers seek and treasure is their right to privacy or being able to keep things to themselves, not to the knowledge of others. However, this right may be violated by schools as they exercise "locker searches" approved by the General Assembly. Are such sear ches necessary? Can authorities actually go through a locker without the permission of the occupant? According to school officials, the lockers are the property of the school; therefore the school has a right to investigate if necessary. A question raised by students here implied that "a locker has little value if it can be searched." Under guidelines established by the State Legislature, a principal, vice-principal, or other administrative person can take a thorough look in lockers to see if the locker is being abused or if hand weapons or drugs are concealed. The problem is not isolated to this state, since other parts of the country have similar situations. It should be noted that the student should be present during the searches. —M.S.
