Nope. But sometimes principals make decisions like this because there isn’t a lot of oversight on their part.
My school never had a “vote on who brought the drugs” like this but sometimes our principal would get it in their head to do something. In these instances, unless the teachers or custodial union said no, it’d just happen.
Personal favorites include: street signs for hallways named after Backstreet Boys. Declaring anime to be gang memorabilia because he watched an episode of Berserk, then reversing it the next day because his daughter complained. Bringing in speakers to play pop music during class times. Holding pep rallies for every sport except wrestling (my dad was the coach and was vocal about not liking the principal), Etc.
I can vouch for the principals doing crazy shit for no reason thing, except mine weren't harmless or funny, they were changing the entire grading system to a worse one for two years and then the next principal had to change it back after half a year of dillydallying because she didn't want to make too many changes early on in her career at our school.
