Board member seeks data on bathroom vape sensors and their effectiveness
Summary
A board member asked administration for a January update on recently installed vape sensors at the middle and high schools — how many hits have been recorded, whether the count is declining, and whether the sensors distinguish vaping from smoking.
During board member commentary, a board member asked district staff to provide data in January on recently installed vape sensors in middle‑school and high‑school bathrooms, including the number of hits recorded and whether the devices differentiate between smoking and vaping. "Maybe in January, can we get kind of how many hits are you getting? And is it declining as far as catching kids vaping in the bathrooms?" the member asked.
Board staff indicated the data should be available and that the devices typically have push‑button reports and summary counts; members agreed the information would be useful to assess effectiveness. The board asked staff to compile data points and return with findings that could show trends and inform next steps.
