Because drug use is rampant in all schools. Just this week, a QO student was found unconscious at a McDonalds during lunchtime. They had to give the kid narcan.

People smoked in the bathrooms when I was in high school. Of course, at the time, the teachers smoked in the teacher's lounge, too. They didn't vape, because there was no such thing as vaping. They didn't OD on fentanyl, because you could only get fentanyl in hospitals. And they didn't shoot each other (mostly), even though a lot of families actually had guns for hunting, because the US was not yet awash in guns owned by people for the purpose of protecting themselves from people with guns.

Gen X represent!!

This was going on in MCPS schools for many many years. Kids smoked in specific areas in BCC. Same with drug and alcohol use. This isn't specific to BCC either and it's at every school, public and private in this country and every other country.

It may have not been fentanyl but there were plenty of other drugs.

The difference is social media and things like the BCC newspaper allowing those articles that never would have been allowed 20+ years ago.

So the kids who honestly and accurately telling the truth about the scope and nature of the problem are the issue? You are morally bankrupt.

How is that morally bankrupt? Its good they are reporting it but the reality is the same issues were in the schools many years ago and people pretending this is a new issue have their heads in the sand.

Another student ODed today and had to be revived with Narcan. This happened during QO lunch at the McDonald's across the street.
I'm Gen x, we had crack but I don't remember anyone ODing during school hours. These kids are under a whole different ball.game.

I was under the impression students weren't allowed in this McDonalds anymore but I guess not.

Impossible to enforce. How would that even work?

Does QO have open lunch? I know one of the problems at our school is that despite it not being open lunch, the security guards are not enforcing or stopping students from leaving the building during lunch hour.

The overdose incident at the McDonald's has prompted QO to get stricter about enforcing its open lunch policy: https://www.fox5dc.com/news/quince-orchard-high-school-changes-open-lunch-policy-after-student-overdoses

If that were true, wouldnt you be posting in the thread on the QO incident instead of reviving this one?.

Seems more like someone with an agenda.
