A Search of Last Resort.
Dowling-Sendor, Benjamin
American School Board Journal, v184 n11 p18-19 Nov 1997
A case involving a strip-search of two second-grade girls in Talledega, Alabama, was dismissed with an eight-to-three vote by the 11th Circuit Court. The court issued an opinion on only one question in the case: whether the employees involved were entitled to "qualified immunity." Advises administrators to be cautious and permit strip searches only to prevent imminent harm. (MLF)
