Do L.A. Unified's daily random searches keep students safe, or do they go too far?

The nonprofit InnerCity Struggle, which works to promote safe, healthy communities on L.A.'s Eastside, and the advocacy law firm Public Counsel asked the district for logs of random searches at schools where weapons had been confiscated. The district provided them with logs for 59 schools, fewer than a quarter of the middle and high schools. The records may not show all the searches at those 59 schools because they asked for logs only when weapons were found.
