Middle School Conducted A Search On My Child And A School Official Of Opposite Sex Made Her Lift Her Shirt

Card image cap

Location: Arizona. My daughter was dropped off at school at 9:05. This search happened in the AM. The school had reasonable suspicion that my daughter had brought a vape on campus. My husband got a call at work after school hours (an hour after she got off school) to let him know what had happened. The staff member stated the above and the search was conducted by a staff member (not sure if the assistant principal or not) and security officer. When asked what the reasonable suspicion was, the staff member had stated that someone said she had a vape. She would not tell my husband who had stated that, but did elaborate that it could’ve been a student or a staff member.. they searched her backpack, take shoes/socks off, flip her pockets out, and lift her shirt to expose waist line and bra line. THEY DID NOT FIND A VAPE. My husband picks daughter up from an afterschool program and asks what happened. My daughter then tells him that she was pulled from class, escorted to the principals office and a female staff member and a MALE security guard conducted the search. She said that this situation made her uncomfortable as the MALE security guard was the one to tell her to lift her shirt and expose waist/bra line. She stressed that no one touched her but felt uncomfortable after. It’s only been a couple hours since this had happened and we were not provided with any paperwork of the incident at all even when asked. My husband then calls the school district and reports what had happened. The lady on the other end sounded very concerned.

Can someone tell me exactly what happened and what is happening and what I can do. Thank you in advanced. I will try my best to provide more details if needed. The situation makes me feel extremely uncomfortable. I can’t even imagine what my daughter is feeling.
