Greendale High School to deploy vape-detection devices after survey shows rising use
Summary
District communications cited survey and health department data showing increased student vaping; administration announced Greendale High School will begin using vape-detection tools to deter use and protect student safety.
An administrator (Speaker 4) told the Greendale School Board the district has observed an increase in student vaping during the school day and plans to deploy vape-detection devices at Greendale High School to deter use and improve safety. The administrator said the finding is based on a youth risk behavior survey and local health department reporting.
"Vaping is a significant public health concern," the administrator said, and added that vaping violates the student handbook and the activities code of conduct. The board was told families and students with concerns can contact their school offices or people services teams for support.
The announcement was part of the communications section of the meeting and included no formal vote. Board members did not take a formal action during the meeting but may request follow-up details on implementation, privacy considerations, cost, and parental notification before devices are installed.
