In one sense we're doing it for a very tragic situation, but is it possibly opening up some doors for other possibilities. |
It will provide prevention measures and education for the community as to the problems here and also the fact that we are not unique. |
It's extremely difficult to make any comparison (between the two investigations). School officials can act on a reasonable cause - say a student reports an incident - and conduct a search. But, law enforcement requires probable cause. |
It's still in the development stages, but we are working with a local community agency to provide drug and alcohol counseling, decision making and values for one to two hours per week. |
Most of our initial investigation amounted to searches and interviews conducted by me personally. |
We've done a number of other searches, not specifically related to this, but because of a greater student awareness. |
We've got a heightened sense of awareness and concern among the students and that is a good thing. |
