Published on 01-16-2009 Source: USA Today The Supreme Court said Friday that it will review whether a strip search for prescription-strength Ibuprofen violated a 13-year-old student's constitutional rights. The justices said they will hear arguments in April in the case from Arizona. The court also will consider whether, even if it upholds an appeals court decision that the girl was subjected to an unconstitutional search, a school vice principal is financially liable for damages. Last year, the federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled 8-3 in favor of Savana Redding, who was subjected to a strip search based on a classmate's uncorroborated accusation that she was hiding the pills. The court split 6-5 in favor of allowing her to sue the school official who ordered the search. Redding was an eighth-grade student at the Safford Middle School in Safford, Ariz., when she was ordered to the school nurse's office and told to strip to her underwear, move her bra to the side and pull her underwear out, exposing her breasts and pelvic area. No pills were found. School officials argue that the search was reasonable because pills had been found on campus and another student linked them to Redding. Officials were justifiably anxious, they said, because in an earlier incident, a student had to be hospitalized after taking a prescription drug he had been given by a classmate. But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals called Redding's ordeal "a grossly intrusive search of a middle-school girl to locate pills with the potency of two over-the-counter Advil capsules." The court found that the vice principal, Kerry Wilson, is liable for damages and ordered a federal magistrate to determine the amount. Earlier, a three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled 2-1 that the search was constitutional, upholding the magistrate's dismissal of Redding's civil rights lawsuit. The case is Safford United School District #1 v. Redding, 08-479.
