DRUG SUPPRESSION AND DISCOVERY PROGRAM
The Board of Education and local law enforcement authorities have joined in a
program to curtail the use of drugs in the county secondary schools; we will
cooperate in this program. Program guidelines are as follows.
At unannounced and randomly selected times, law enforcement authorities will
bring to the school a dog that has been trained to detect all types of drugs. The
police, members of the school administration and designated staff will inspect
lockers and certain areas of the school building. Students should keep their
lockers locked at all times. In addition, the canine unit will also be inspecting
cars in our parking lot.
If, as a result of these investigations, a student is found to be in possession of
drugs, his or her parent/guardian will be notified immediately. At that time, the
school system's procedures for the handling of drug offenses will be initiated.
In addition, local law enforcement authorities may take further action. This
program is designed to eliminate the use, possession, and distribution of drugs
on school property. We sincerely hope that none of us will need to suffer the
consequences of drug involvement.
