Sometime that morning, and prior to the commencement of class, plaintiff Leonti complained to defendant Olson that he was missing $3.00 from his coat pocket. This Court first distinguishes Katz from this case on the basis that this is not a police action and second, that the students did not have a justifiable expectation of privacy that would preclude a school administrator from sniffing the air around the desks with the aid of a trained drug detecting canine. This Court nevertheless adheres to the view that the defendant teachers are immune from these damage claims under Wood v. Strickland, supra. 591, 284 N.E.2d 108 (1972). 834 - NORTH SHORE RIGHT TO LIFE v. MANHASSET AM. Dist. 2d 1081 (1961) (opinions of Justices Clark, Black and Harlan). 1 v. Lopez 50 V.

This Court cannot say as a matter of law that the alerting of a trained dog standing alone is sufficient to establish reasonable cause to believe a complete body search by school officials in surroundings that insure and maintain human dignity. *1027 This Court finds no constitutional fault with the basic plan and program as executed. Plaintiffs seek legal, injunctive, and declaratory relief in their action, which is maintained under 42 U.S.C. den., 424 U.S. 918, 96 S. Ct. 1121, 47 L. Ed.

Furthermore, the presence of the uniformed police officer in the room, at the request of the school official and with the agreement that no arrests would occur as a result of finding any drugs upon students, did not alter the basic function of the school official's activities. Search over 120 million documents from over 100 countries including primary and secondary collections of legislation, case law, regulations, practical law, news, forms and contracts, books, journals, and more. The cases which have dealt with the issue have reached diverse results, relying upon various theories, which can be generally placed into the following categories: 1) the Fourth Amendment does not apply, as the school official acted in loco parentis (private search); People v. Stewart, 63 Misc.2d 601, 313 N.Y.S.2d 253 (N.Y.Co. It is also very clear from the record that some students in this high school are not in sympathy with the claims and contentions of this plaintiff. Brooks v. Flagg Brothers, Inc., supra. A review of the pleadings, as supplemented by the affidavits of defendants Lund, Reardon, Parker, Butcher, and Knox, reveals that, with one minor exception which will not affect the outcome of the pending motion, there are no material issues of fact to be determined with respect to the question of defendants' liability. 47, 52 (N.D.N.Y. That limited in loco parentis relationship modifies the student's Fourth Amendment guarantee of a sphere of privacy which the student can justifiedly expect state officials not to invade. Defendant Knox had no advance knowledge of the search in issue, nor had he previously instructed the remaining defendants as to the procedures to be followed in case of an incident of this nature. Such a regulation of a student's movement in no way denies that person any constitutionally guaranteed right. It was not unusual for students to be kept in their classrooms longer than the normal periods. 1975), cert. 725 (M.D. Perez v. Sugarman, 499 F.2d 761 (2d Cir. Jurisdiction is alleged to exist by virtue of 28 U.S.C. Although they were obviously clothed with their state authority, they had previously agreed that no arrests would be made as a result of any drugs found that morning. Being aware of prior complaints from class members of missing money, lunches, and other items, and knowing that no one had left the class-room that morning, defendant Reardon commenced a search of the class, with the aid of fellow teachers and school officials, all of whom are named as defendants herein. Each of the students entered the classroom and placed his outer garment in a coatroom located wholly within, and accessible only from, the classroom *50 itself. See Johnson v. U. S.,333 U.S. 10, 68 S. Ct. 367, 92 L. Ed. Because smoking in the lavatory was a violation of a school rule, the teacher took the two girls to the Principal . Spence v. Staras, 507 F.2d 554 (7th Cir. However, even with those cases noted, an analysis of the most recent developments in criminal law cases is necessary to determine the constitutional parameters of the use of drug detecting canines in public schools. Ms. Little was engaged in a perfectly legitimate, if unprofitable, enterprise of training these type dogs. 739 (1974); 2) the Fourth Amendment does not apply because of the doctrine in loco parentis which clothed the school officials with immunity as a "private citizen." The unnecessary duplication of sanctions is evident in either case. 340, 367 N.E.2d 949 (1977). For example, drugs, weapons, suicides, robberies, and assaults are now everyday occurrences in some educational facilities. As a result of the investigation seventeen students were found in possession of drugs; twelve of those students withdrew voluntarily from school and three students were expelled pursuant to the due process statutes of the State of Indiana. 2d 453 (1977). Dist. 682 (Ct. of App., 4th Dist. Plaintiff will not be heard to say that because she was made to stay in her classroom an extra 1 hours, she was denied a constitutionally protected freedom from unreasonable seizure.

The plaintiffs are therefore entitled to a summary judgment to that effect, except with respect to defendant Knox. 20-5-1-1 is a broad grant of authority to those legally responsible for the administration of the public schools and has been so interpreted by the Courts of Indiana. Renfrow decided to use the trained dogs in a drug investigation and he arranged a second meeting for March 14, 1979. Bellnier v.

Additionally, two students were suspended by the administration because they were found to be in possession of drug paraphernalia. App. challenging on Due Process and Cruel and Unusual Punishment grounds, the use of corporal punishment by school officials, the Court seemingly assumed ab initio that the actions complained of constituted "state action". Care was taken by the school officials to provide custodians at each exit in case an emergency arose. In finding that the Fourth Amendment does apply in this case, this Court does not mean to imply that a showing of probable cause is necessary in order to uphold the search as reasonable. In such a case, there must be adherence to the protections required by the Fourth Amendment. 1981 et seq. Adams v. Pate, 445 F.2d 105 (7th Cir. It also includes some new topics such as bullying, copyright law, and the law and the internet.

Those members of the proposed class are not so numerous so as to make joinder of them as parties impracticable. However, in view of the relatively slight danger of the conduct involved (as opposed to drug possession, for example), the extent of the search, and the age of the students involved, this Court cannot in good conscience say that the search undertaken was reasonable. This Court now rules on all three forms of relief, declaratory judgment, injunction, and damages. The present case clearly falls within the second enumerated category, for which the Young Court suggests that the proper remedy is a civil rights or tort action, rather than exclusion of evidence so obtained from introduction at a criminal trial. In twenty school days before the investigation, thirteen incidents were reported where students were found either to be in possession of drugs or drug paraphernalia or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I.C. The inspection occurred in both the Junior and Senior High School campuses and began during the first period class. Ala.1968); M. v. Bd. Acting alone, each school administrator could have unquestionably surveyed a classroom to prevent drug use. Both parties have moved for a summary judgment, pursuant to F.R.C.P. No fault is found with requiring students to remain in their seats without notice and with their hands on their desks for short periods of time. The Circuit Court for the District of Columbia responded that defendant's contention was "frivolous" and that the actions of the police were responsible and not in violation of any constitutionally protected rights. In doing so the Court must take into account the special duties and responsibilities imposed upon school officials to provide a safe atmosphere for a student to develop, the attendant limited powers which the school officials possess in loco parentis to effectuate the maintenance of proper discipline. As was stated by the Court in Wood. This case is therefore an appropriate one for a summary judgment. If the search had been conducted for the purpose of discovering evidence to be used in a criminal prosecution, the school may well have had to satisfy a standard of probable cause rather than reasonable cause to believe. Waits v. McGowan, 516 F.2d 203 (3d Cir. The proper administration of the public schools necessarily involves the requirement that students be in certain places at certain times. U. S. v. Guerra, 554 F.2d 987 (9th Cir. There are few federal cases dealing with the subject of student strip searches, and unfortunately those cases are all distinguishable from that at bar. 2d 433 (1979). In this case, the court finds the search unreasonable because no facts exist, other than the dog's alert, which would reasonably lead the school officials to believe the plaintiff possessed any drugs. *48 *49 New York Civil Liberties Union, Alan H. Levine, New York City, of counsel; Clifford Forstadt, Syracuse, N. Y., of counsel, for plaintiffs. As a corollary to the state action rule, it is generally stated that to prove a cause of action under 1983, one need not show that the constitutional or statutory infringement complained of is supported by state law, as long as there is some nexus between the state involvement and the deprivation. 1977). That is to say, immunity exists if the official acts in good faith and not in ignorance or disregard of settled indisputable principles of law. .

Tinker v. Des Moines School District,393 U.S. 503, 89 S. Ct. 733, 21 L. Ed. It finds no fault with the school administrators using their own senses and the senses of properly trained outside personnel and dogs to detect serious conditions that are patently adverse to the proper administration of a public school. This element, loosely termed as "state action", is highly amorphous, and is generally determined on a case-by-case basis after an analysis of the facts involved. Defendant Knox's sole participation in the incident occurred on December 9, 1974, when, while speaking at a formal meeting of the School Board, he defended the legality of the search in issue. Although the subject of using drug detecting canines has not been specifically addressed in this circuit, it has been analyzed in other courts. While it would seem self-evident that the actions of a teacher or school official employed by a public municipality board of education would constitute state action under Monroe v. Pape, supra, this has not been a universally held notion among the various federal courts. 5,429 F. Supp. The missing money was never located.

However, when the dog has alerted as to a particular student in the above context and that student is removed from the basic routine as above described and taken to another area of the school for a more thorough examination of the student's body and clothing, another set of constitutional values comes into play. There were no facts, however, which allowed the officials to particularize with respect to which students might possess the money, something which has time and again, with exceptions not relevant to this case, been found to be necessary to a reasonable search under the Fourth Amendment.

Willgos, supra at 1220. Nevertheless, it is clear that in imposing the Exclusionary Rule upon the states as a remedial measure, the Court in Mapp did not by any means intend to deprive a person subjected to an unlawful search or seizure of his civil remedies, among them being recourse to a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. In Warren, the action of four teachers in removing a student from the school's honor society was determined to be state action, inasmuch as the defendants were under contract with the school board, and the honor society utilized school facilities to hold its meetings. Therefore, the defendants are immune from liability for compensatory and punitive damages arising out of the acts complained of.[4]. 2534, 2542-2543, 69 L.Ed.2d 262). (internal citation omitted). 2d 317 (La.1975); Buss, The Fourth Amendment and Searches of Students in Public Schools, 59 Iowa L.Rev. ., the student-teacher relationship out of which [in loco parentis] authority readily flows does have an impact on the application of constitutional doctrine to the rights of students." While a school student does not shed at the schoolhouse door rights guaranteed by either the Fourth Amendment or any other constitutional provision (Tinker v. Des Moines School District, supra), the student's Fourth Amendment and other constitutional rights are modified by that limited in loco parentis relationship which the school officials have with the students. . Once inside the room, no student left prior to the alleged search now the subject of this action. In other words, an invasion of that sphere of privacy is a search under the terms of the Fourth Amendment. 47 (N.D.N.Y 1977) July 11, 1977 438 F. Supp. 1983,2 inasmuch as there is no allegation of racial or other class-based invidiously discriminatory animus behind the defendant conspirators' actions, nor is there alleged the existence of a conspiracy, both of which are required in order to state a cause of action under 42 U.S.C. Therefore, this Court finds that the defendant school officials are immune from liability arising out of the search and are entitled to summary judgment on the issue of monetary damages. The plaintiffs have prayed for three forms of relief, seeking a declaratory judgment, damages, and an injunction. Get free access to the complete judgment in STATE EX REL. It cannot be disputed that the school's interest in maintaining the safety, health and education of its students justified its grappling with the grave, even lethal, threat of drug abuse. This court is ruling that so long as a school is pursuing those legitimate interests which are the source of its in loco parentis status, "maintaining the order, discipline, safety, supervision, and education of the students within the school" (Picha v. Wielgos, supra, 410 F.Supp. 733, 21 L.Ed.2d 731 (1969). State action is generally found to exist when what is involved is the exercise of power possessed only because the wrongdoer is clothed with the authority of state *51 law. Use of the dogs to detect where those drugs were located was not unreasonable under the circumstances. Considering first plaintiff's contention that the investigation of March 23, 1979 constituted a mass detention and deprivation of freedom in violation of the Fourth Amendment, this Court finds the assertion to be without merit. 1970); In re G.,11 Cal. Each classroom teacher was instructed to keep their students in the first period class and to have them perform their customary work. Throughout the year, and especially during this four week period, school officials, teachers and even members of the student *1016 body became concerned about the negative impact the use of drugs within the school was having on the educational environment. 791 (S.D.N.Y.1974), aff'd, 506 F.2d 1395 (2d Cir.

Strickland Question 10 2 out of 2 points Which court case found that schools have the right to discipline students who present messages that conflict with stated anti-drug policies, even where the evidence of disruption of school activities might be absent? First, the government *1023 official must have probable cause to believe that the law has been or is being violated. All students were treated similarly up until an alert by one of the dogs. By conducting the pocket search, the school officials did not violate the plaintiff's right to be secure against unreasonable search and seizure. The entire investigation lasted approximately two and one-half hours during which time students wishing to use the washrooms were allowed to leave the classroom with an escort of the same sex to the washroom door.

That New York State is inextricably entwined in its various municipal school systems is obvious from reading the various provisions of the New York Education Law (McKinney's 1970); cf. 23(b) (2). This Court has previously stated that the search at bar violated the plaintiffs' constitutional rights. The administrative purpose of the escort was to prevent the disposal of any drugs on the way to the washroom. No. Bellnier v. Lund,438 F. Supp. On the morning of December 6, 1974, plaintiffs and their classmates, members of the fifth grade class at Auburn's Lincoln Elementary School, arrived at the classroom in their usual fashion.

However, Little and the other trainers did advise the school officials, upon their dogs' continued alert, of the necessity of a pocket and/or purse search. ." Dogs have long been used in police work. Turning to this case, the evidence shows the school administrators had compiled an extensive list of previous incidents of drug use within the school. 1977) (1 time) MM v. Anker, 477 F.

The schools' administrators delegated by the state with the duty and responsibility to maintain order, discipline, safety and education within the school system supervised the investigation which was designed with the single purpose of eliminating drug use inside the school buildings. Request a trial to view additional results. This is not to indicate that one attending public schools sheds his or her constitutional rights upon entering the school house doors; such is obviously not the case. Most notable, in this regard, is the compulsory education provision, Education Law 3205, and its companion sections. Here, as in Johnson, the court went off on the warrant requirement of the Fourth Amendment. The motion for a permanent injunction should be denied, as the issue as between these parties is moot.

No fault is found with requiring a student to empty clothing pockets and/or purses upon the alert of a properly trained dog conducted by a properly trained person. In Beard v. Whitmore Lake School District,' the Sixth Circuit examined whether the law governing searches of students, specifically strip searches, was clearly estab- lished and deprived school officials of qualified immunity. That immunity exists if the official acts in good faith and not in ignorance or disregard of settled indisputable principles of law. Turning next to the search aspect of the Fourth Amendment, the issue becomes whether the activity of the defendants on the morning in question prior to any alert by the trained dogs was a search and, if so, whether the search, although warrantless, was reasonable. Again, the trainer and dog were in the rooms at the request and with the permission of the school administrators. 2d 889 (1968); People v. Singletary, supra; People v. D., supra. John P.
