No worries about LSD or Ecstasy before they searched Savanna. You know, at the time they had reason to be believe she had "done something wrong, not illegal".
It was prescription strength Advil. 400 mg. tablets that you can only get by prescription. That's what they were looking for. Those are against school policy. Yes, it was necessary. Are you saying maybe they should have waited a week or so?
Oh, the ones that are equivalent to two regular Advil. I'm not a doctor, but I'm pretty sure hiding those on your person isn't going to put your life or health at risk. So I think the school probably had enough time to notify her parents.
No, I wouldn't say that. They found the drugs on Marissa. They expected to find at least the same drugs on Savana.
I don't believe the school had any preconceived notions about what they would find, and it's my guess they did not rule out other drugs. But there's nothing in the article to suggest that the school conducted the search only because they thought they'd find other illegal drugs (like LSD or Ecstasy).
