The 4th amendment stuff gets more complicated when it comes to juveniles in a coercive atmosphere like schools when it comes to consent/searches. It's called the "In loco parentis doctrine" where basically the parent is agreeing to trust the school with the power it needs to keep the kids safe.

Google...New Jersey vs TLO. Searches must be reasonable and justified, basically the 4th amendment still applies to students but not in it's full capacity. There needs to be a reasonable suspicion that your child had violated the law. In this case I'd say that wasn't true but there's 3 sides to every story (his, theirs, & the truth). These looser standards are supposed to apply to school officials and NOT law enforcement officers. LEOs should follow their normal procedure, that shouldn't change just because they're on a school campus.

To pursue anything legally would be more trouble than it's worth, but the boundaries are there for good reason. I wonder if the people that cheer for the school to have absolute power would feel when their kid got strip searched because of xyz.
