Superintendent cites 71% drop in vape alarms, shares student flyer and service updates
Summary
Superintendent reported a roughly 71% drop in vape-detection alarms during school hours, presented a student-made communications flyer for possible distribution, and outlined alternative placements and monitoring strategies for discipline.
During the superintendent’s report the district presented discipline data and school-communications items for board consideration. The superintendent said the district has seen “about 71% decrease in those alarms going off” inside school bathrooms compared with last year and attributed part of the decline to increased staff monitoring, restricted bathroom access and the use of diversion programs for some students.
The superintendent also shared a trifold flyer created by the communications class (with photos by student Kylie Smith) and asked the board whether the district should mail copies or distribute them at community events. The report described alternative placements, the use of vape detectors in key areas and a combination of disciplinary measures and restitution when damage is identifiable.
Board members praised the communications class work and asked the superintendent to return cost estimates for any mailing; the superintendent said a printing and mailing cost would be presented at the next meeting.
