Concerns over rampant drug use and vaping in Perkiomen Valley High School's bathrooms took center stage during the recent PVSD School Board Business Meeting. A board member revealed alarming reports from students about escalating issues, particularly on the third floor of the school.

The board member shared that students from various backgrounds—athletes, arts participants, and those not involved in extracurricular activities—have reported troubling behavior. The situation has reportedly reached a disturbing level, with students allegedly vaping in the bathrooms in a manner that raises serious health and safety concerns.

"This is not just a minor issue; it’s a significant problem that needs immediate attention," the board member stated, highlighting the gravity of the situation. The vivid imagery of students vaping with their heads in toilet water underscored the urgency of addressing this behavior.

The discussion reflects a growing concern among school officials about the impact of substance use on student health and safety. As the board considers potential solutions, the community is left to ponder the implications of these troubling reports and the necessary steps to ensure a safe environment for all students.
