1Opinion of the Court

Adams, Judge.

The State appeals from the trial court’s order granting K. L. M.’s motion to suppress evidence found when a law enforcement officer searched him at school at the direction of the school’s principal. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.

A trial judge’s findings of fact on a motion to suppress should not be disturbed if there is any evidence to support them; determinations of fact and credibility must be accepted unless clearly erroneous; and the evidence must be construed in favor of the trial court’s findings and judgment. Tate v. State, 264 Ga. 53, 54 (1) (440 SE2d 646)…
