Resident raises vaping and locker-room bullying concerns; board refers to complaint policy
Summary
A resident told the Port Orford-Langlois board she had not received responses to emails about vaping and alleged bullying; the board chair referred her to complaint procedure KL and staff confirmed bathroom vaping sensors send timestamped email alerts.
During public input at the May 18 meeting, resident Kim Nye raised concerns about vaping on school property and alleged bullying in locker rooms, saying she had emailed district staff and "thus far had received no response." Chair Korinn Hockett reminded Nye of the three-minute comment limit and directed her to follow complaint procedure KL for formal concerns.
PHS staff later confirmed technology is in place: Technology Director Rusty Raymond told the board vaping sensors are installed in building bathrooms and that the system sends email reports with timestamps to selected administrators rather than sounding alarms. Superintendent Aaron Miller said there is awareness of bullying allegations and board member Judy Miles emphasized that the district's complaint process should be followed before the board becomes involved.
The public comment and the principals' reports together clarified that the district has sensors in bathrooms and a formal complaint path (Policy KL) for grievances; parents or residents who want follow-up were asked to use the district's complaint procedure.
