That's not how I read it at all. Sounds like his point is there may be a problem, but this isn't a great solution. Those who think it is are gullible as hell.[/quote]

No one thinks this is THE solution but it is part of the solution, if nothing else than very obviously demonstrating that drugs on HS grounds will not be tolerated and that APS and ACPD are taking this seriously.

Fine. What else are they doing? Serious question. What's the full policy response?[/quote]

NP here who has been following the AEM threads.  One huge response lies with the parents.  If this accomplishes nothing other than making the schools more drug-free, then it pushes a lot of the responsibility back on the parents which is as it should be.  How often do these parents do a stop-and-frisk of their kids' backpacks or bedrooms if they have reason to believe their kid could be dabbling in this stuff? Are their kids accountable for their whereabouts before and after school as well as on weekend nights?

Parents are complaining that a criminal record will ruin a kid's life, and therefore of course APS needs to keep all police away from their kids, rather than maybe parenting and seeing the schools and police as partners.
