• while holding fanny pack, and before opening pack, administrator “could tell immediately that there was a gun in it”
• administrator who conducted search testified, based on her experience as a teacher, that “if a student carries a gun one day, or a knife or something of that nature, often times they’ll bring it back to school”
• the child had a history of possessing weapons at school, and two reliable student informants told school administrators that there was “a rumor that there was a gun on campus” and “they had seen child on campus with a gun the day before”
