During a recent school board meeting, a high school student, Max, expressed gratitude towards Doctor Swift for improving the school environment, particularly after the removal of cell phones, which he noted had previously been a significant distraction. Max highlighted a pressing issue at the school: a pervasive drug problem, specifically vaping, which he observed occurring in locker rooms and classrooms. He emphasized the need for action to address this issue, stating that students are harming themselves and called for measures to combat the problem.
In response, Doctor Fetcher acknowledged Max's concerns and reminded the public of various channels available for voicing questions and comments regarding school projects. He encouraged community engagement and assured that the board is open to feedback. Doctor Fetcher also requested Doctor Swift to follow up on the vaping concerns raised by Max, reiterating the importance of creating a safe and conducive learning environment.
The meeting concluded without additional agenda items, but the discussions underscored ongoing challenges within the school and the board's commitment to addressing them.
