[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Quite honestly why not just pre-emptively shift to a clear backpack policy for the whole district? What would it hurt? It would provide greater clarity and transparency, create less room for contraband objects to be carried in, and be done collectively as a whole vice in reaction to events, etc. like is happening in Newport News. Just be proactive rather than reactive. I understand it might not be popular, but, I think safety should trump popularity. [/quote]

Do you know how small pills are? Who do you expect to search every small compartment? Go through kids pockets? Have you ever worked in a school, even for a couple of days?

No. I have no idea how small pills are. I've never taken a single one. Please enlighten me.

It's about the general notion of creating or reducing risk. Not explicitly for pills, but, also weapons. And even if it serves as a psychological deterrent to some effect or degree--make it harder for people to feel comfortable/confident/at ease attempting an activity, then you can decrease those incidents. But, go ahead, carry on as is vs. considering anything that could possibly be helpful. [/quote]

Please exit the conversation and leave it to people who actually work in schools. [/quote]
