You can bring civil action on anyone, anytime - whether it actually results in anything is a separate issue. I imagine a *school* contract like you've described has some extremely loose language.
Stealing is a criminal sanction - so if you want to proceed along those lines, you should contact your local police department. BTW, he didn't steal in the sense you're thinking (i.e., larceny) - if anything it would be embezzlement if he kept it for his own use since he was entrusted to confiscate it.
Good lord, if I think about this anymore I'm going to need to break out my law books...
