    I don't think anyone, anywhere honestly believed that the search was reasonable (except maybe Tribesman), thus the decision that it was an "unreasonable" search.

    “clearly established law [did] not show that the search violated the Fourth Amendment ,”
    So it was an unreasonable search but the people doing it didn't do an unreasonable search because of established law.

    No more the search was illegal but not stupid enough for the officals to be sued for everything they're worth.

    The officials were granted Qualified Immunity, shielding them personally from liability. However, the School District is still open to civil damages, which could be substantial.
    Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.
