Unfortunately, it hasn’t been much of a surprise that students have come to school on drugs or with the possession of drugs recently, but there are consequences at school when that happens.
Students getting caught usually starts as a suspicion from school staff, for example, a teacher smelling marijuana in their classroom.

According to Mr. Depa, Dean, some teachers would send an email saying there is a smell in their room and would sometimes say around wherein their classroom the smell is located.

Usually, after the dean is there and finds the suspicious students then they are taken down to the dean’s office to be taken, there is a search taken place, then they are sent to the nurse for an evaluation. Mr. Depa also mentioned that under the student code conduct staff is allowed to conduct a search and do the evaluation.

According to Mr. Depa, the evaluation consists of the nurse checking the student’s pupil, coordination test, and other basic procedures. If something comes back abnormal parents will be called because the students are not allowed to leave without a parent picking them up since they aren’t sober. The consequence then would usually be an out of school suspension.

If a student is caught in possession of drugs, for example, multiple bags of individually wrapped marijuana or a large amount of marijuana, the student will be questioned, and typically police will be involved, especially when there is an intent to sell in or out of school. The drugs will be confiscated, and parents will be called to pick up the student as well.

In the end, the main consequence will be an out of school suspension.
