Aschool has the right to search student lockers to keep things safe for all students and the community at large. education and safety are a school’s biggest responsibilities. unfortunately, lockers can become a container for dangerous items that do not belong in a school setting. studies have shown that when a safety issue regarding one or more students arose, evidence relating to the situation was often found in student lockers—notes, weapons, and other items that had to be confiscated. however, when students are aware that lockers are subject to unscheduled searches, they often think of other ways to store their belongings; items are instead concealed in backpacks, pockets, and purses, which are much more accessible to students.
