1Opinion of the CourtSteinmetz, J.
Isiah B. appeals contending that the random search of his school locker was unconstitutional under the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, sec. 11 of the Wisconsin Constitution. At the time of the search, there was a significant risk of imminent, serious personal harm to students and staff. We conclude that under the circumstances present at Madison High School, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on November 19, 1990, the random search of the locker was permissible under the United States and Wisconsin Constitutions. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment of the circuit court.
