Which of these statements best describes the Court’s ruling in New Jersey v. T.L.O.?

The Court ruled that students have Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and seizures, including at school. However, school officials can search a student when they have reasonable grounds to suspect a rule or law has been broken; they do not need a police officer present. So “Students are protected from unreasonable search and seizure” is the best description.
