I read through parts of the briefs, and you're right, the story's a bit more complicated. Apparently there was a previous incident where a student was passing out prescription drugs at the school, and a student had to be airlifted to the hospital after a really bad reaction. That, combined with the alcohol issues, apparently made the school officials very wary of alcohol and drug problems.
That may be enough to justify the search at its inception, as I understand the potential problems if students are passing out prescription drugs. They went too far with the strip search, though; there were a lot of other less intrusive ways to go about this.
