Mother sues school district after 8th-grade daughter allegedly strip searched

TL;DR

The federal lawsuit, filed on Dec. 28, names Willoughby-Eastlake Schools Board of Education and three Eastlake School Middle employees as defendants.Just before lunch the same day, the school's principal Colleen Blaurock pulled the eighth grader out of class and questioned her about the vape pen, according to the lawsuit.There, a nurse's aide Rosalyn Rubertino allegedly forced the middle schooler to strip down to only her underwear after the middle school's assigned nurse Megan Kuhlman — who was not present at the time — allegedly instructed her to do so over the phone.James Macy, chair of the School Law section at von Briesen law firm, said the question of whether schools are justified in strip searching students rests on if they have “reasonable evidence” indicating the student has “contraband or illegal substances” that present safety concerns to the student or others.Willoughby-Eastlake City Schools Board of Education, Blaurock, Kuhlman, and Rubertino did not immediately respond to ABC News’ requests for comment."
