TSA To Help With 2 School Searches
Journal Northern Bureau
SANTA FE — A federal judge has ordered the Santa Fe Public Schools to hire officers from the Transportation Security Administration — which provides airport security — to supervise searches of students at the Santa Fe High School prom today and at the coming Capital High School graduation.
U.S. District Judge James O. Browning also directed that the searches must be "graduated," with pat-downs only if reasonable grounds are established first.
The order came late Friday in a lawsuit filed by two Capital High School students over what they maintain were "offensive and degrading" searches at the recent Capital High prom. The girls, honor students Candice and T.H. Herrera, had their breasts touched and their dresses lifted by female security guards in front of students and staffers, according to the suit.
"I'm happy with the ruling," Vincent Herrera, the girls' father, said Friday. "I'm glad the children are still going to be safe. They didn't take away their ability to search the children. They just took away the blanket search, the intrusive and invasive searches they were doing."
Superintendent Bobbie Gutierrez said the district is "happy to comply" with the judge's orders, but she worries that drugs or alcohol might get through.
