locker search
School security check
A locker search is an inspection of a storage locker's contents, typically by school officials checking student lockers for contraband like drugs, weapons, or stolen property.
The term appears frequently in debates about privacy rights: The principal ordered a locker search after drugs were reported on campus.
Courts have generally upheld schools' authority to conduct such searches with reasonable suspicion.
