Maybe but again SROs are not in schools to actively police the kids , they are there to respond to true security issues or weapons violence. And owning a vape is not a civil nor criminal infraction, it’s a violation of school policies. SROs are not employees of FCPS. They cannot enforce FCPS disciplinary policies.

It’s a class 4 misdemeanor aka a crime to possess a nicotine or marijuana product intended for smoking including vaping or even rolling papers under 21. Also we have commonwealth attorneys, not district attorneys. Can you please not join a “convo” and tell everyone else how theyre too dumb to understand when you’re the only one talking out of your ass? Maybe it was the bathroom talk that brought you here but I’ll go ahead and flush your opinion from here on out.

If a kid keeps getting caught and the collective environment is to the point where students feel unsafe or unable to use a bathroom, send them to diversion, second strike misdemeanor, third strike second misdemeanor and expulsion. If adults stood strong kids and enforced consistent standards and consequences, kids would learn quickly. Permissive parenting doesn’t work.

To those complainer teachers are too busy - how did the teachers of yore ever get all their work done before the digital age?

And to the teacher saying I lost her by saying shut the faculty bathrooms down if kids can’t go either, it’s not because I think you’re equals (though teacher professionalism is basically nonexistent snd half of them dress just like the kids and talk like them too), it’s because you are all union employees are you not? And yet instead of actually using your collective power to stand up against the admin you have actively allowed the admin to ruin the schools, instead of standing strong against wave after wave of stupidity you’ve been complicit and go along to get along. You share responsibility for this mess.

vape detectors inside the bathroom + camera on the outside. When the detector goes off, the kids scatter. You don't go after that group initially but if it happens multiple times with the same face(s) appearing, you have your likely culprits. Enough to call the parents I would say.

Bad news, the parents don’t care.
