Description
William V. appeals from a judgment of the juvenile court making him a ward of the court for unlawfully possessing a knife on school grounds. He asserts that the court should have suppressed the knife because it was seized in an unlawful search. William argues that the specially assigned police officer who conducted the search was not a school official and thus was required to have probable cause, rather than merely a reasonable suspicion, to conduct the search. In the published portion of the opinion, we hold that the police officer, who was on a two-year assignment as a resource officer at Williams school, was a school official for purposes of the Fourth Amendment, and that his search was justified by the reasonable suspicion that William was engaging in conduct that violated school rules.
