Can I say no to being searched at school?

Yes, you can say "no" and clearly state you do not consent to a school search, but you should not physically resist; school officials can still search you if they have "reasonable suspicion" (facts, not just rumors) of a rule or law violation, but they can't strip search you, and you have rights to refuse consent to searches by police or for your phone, with evidence found in illegal searches potentially kept out of court.

Suing for $500 can be worth it in small claims court if the costs (filing fees, service fees, lost work time) are low and the case is straightforward, but often it's not worth the effort because your expenses and time spent could exceed the $500 you're trying to recover, especially with potential court delays and difficulty collecting if you win. It depends heavily on your specific situation, local court fees, and if you can represent yourself without a lawyer to keep costs down.
