What is the current state of the law regarding searches of schoolchildren by school authorities?

[865 P.2d 71] In New Jersey v. T.L.O., supra, 469 U.S. 325, 105 S.Ct. 733, the court considered "what limits, if any, the Fourth Amendment places on the activities of school authorities" who search students. (469 U.S. at p. 332, 105 S.Ct. at p. 737.) Although schoolchildren have an expectation of privacy(id., at pp. 337-339, 105 S.Ct. at pp. 740-742), the need to maintain order in the classroom "requires some easing of the restrictions to which searches by public authorities are ordinarily subject." (Id., at p. 340, 105 S.Ct. at p. 742.) Thus, in striking the balance of reasonableness, considerations unique to their particular circumstance qualified the scope of constitutional protection available to juveniles.
