Answer: no they don't because its against the fourth amendment but on the other hand if the school is suspicious then they should have to go to a court house to get a legal doc. saying that they have the right to search that locker
If the school has and continues to state that the locker is school property,can and will be searched with suspicion, then they have the right, given reasonable suspicion, as in this case the locker is not the students property, therefore no amendment is broken, they need only legal document to search schoolbag, purse, ect.

∙ 14y agoThe question states that it is a PRIVATE school and that the car was on the school's PRIVATE property. I would stongly guess that somewhere in the enrollment papers or education contract, that there is a clause that allows this. The car is on the school's property NOT some public parking lot or the street. Therefore normal rules of search and seizure and warrantless searches by public authorities do not apply. The school is acting within the bounds of 'En Loco Parentis.'

∙ 11y agoThat depends on the reason for the search. Generally, strip searches are automatically forbidden unless the parent consents to this search. Schools are required to have reasonable suspicion that you have something illegal or stolen in your possession in order to search you.
However, this all depends on why a search is necessary.

∙ 7y agoYes. Students leave their rights at the door and the school and teachers act in the parents place, but there has to be reasonable cause for the school/ teacher to look into the phone. Let's say the teacher gets a student comes to him/her about getting bullied by another student sending them text messages and names the student doing this. This would be a reasonable cause to look into the phone. Another would be a student is threatening to harm others in the school. Most schools have rules concerning the use of cell phones on campus. If a student is asked several times to put away a phone and doesn't do it that is defiant behavior. The phone can be taken away.

Can a teacher take a students phone a search through their personal belongings?
Yes, if there is a reason for the search. Let's say that you are suspected of stealing something, so if the teacher searches your book bag it is legal. Your locker can also be searched, but a physical search should only be done by the police/parent/school officals. Civil rights of students are limited and if there is "reasonable cause" for the search it is legal as well as taking the phone since in most schools the phones are not allowed in the classroom.

Does a school have the right to search a students person and personal belongings?
Generally, yes. The state is considered to be "in loco parentis" which is a fancy term for "in place of one's parents," so they can search students who are present on school property as well as their lockers. They have no right to search students who are not on school property. If you're outside the school they can't search you. If you walk onto the property they can, but you do have the right to refuse and leave. Same thing if you get on a school bus, they can search you but you have the right to refuse and leave. It's the same as going to a concert, the place can require you to be searched in order to be admitted to the facility, but you have the right to turn around and leave and refuse a search. Oh, and anything they find is admissible in court. And while they will often have police on hand because in some states they can't arrest you for a misdemeanor offense, if they catch you with anything that it's a felony to possess, even if no police are on campus, they can still legally arrest you because, in every state, anyone can legally arrest someone for a felony committed in their presence, and in some states, for a misdemeanor committed in their presence, even if no police are around.
