 Do school officials have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs?

I believe that school officials do have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs. For example, ,“ Many students ASSUME that their lockers are private property, but most school policies state that lockers belong to the school and therefore anything in them is subject to a search.” Although in reality they are the schools prperty, that they check out to you like teachers do with textbooks. In addition, “Many schools have RESPONDED to the use of drugs on campus by using drug-sniffing dogs to search lockers.” this would create a safer school enviroment because when people use drugs there emotions and actions change. Also, “Supporters of the drug-sniffing dogs say that the PROCESS protects innocent students.” It protects innocent students because some one could be found with but it may not be theres, someone could have planted it on them, by searching lockers students think, it is safe although it is not, so they will stash it in there locker. In conclusion,School officials should have the right to use drug-sniffing dogs.
