Class Strip-Searched in Hunt for Lost Money

An entire high school Spanish class was strip-searched after one girl complained that her money was missing, school authorities, pupils and parents said.

Royal High School students and teachers told the Houston Chronicle that the search was ordered by an assistant principal while top administrators were in a meeting. They said students were told their parents had consented to the search, but parents later denied it, or denied they were told it would be a strip search. The money was not found.
