Strip searches shouldn't be allowable at any age, regardless of gender, by any public school official.
If the situation has escalated to the point where a strip search would be necessary, you've gone into the realm of possibly criminal activities and the Police should be called to handle the situation from there.
School's do have the right to search lockers, purses, backpacks, and in circumstances vehicles. I would even stretch that to strip search down to underwear *IF the situation involves immediate threats such as weapons*. Searches to the point of nudity, however, at the very least should involve a parent, and ideally should be handled by the police with a parent present.
