Got a problem with this

I have got a problem with this story.
Wednesday evening as seniors  go to PVRS for a sleep over , not only were their bags checked by Igor ( Resource officer ) But a drug sniffing dog was also brought in.
So, why wasn't this protocol done at a dance, minus the dog?
Kids will be kids and these kids learned a hard lesson fast. Except when we were kids it was alcohol and don't deny it , we all did something we weren't suppose to .

Violation of school handbook? I think the kids have learned a valuable lesson here. I think suspension is a bit steep and instead should be banned from school dances, which would be a harsher punishment,or in school suspension.
While were also at it , bullying is also in the student handbook and is not tolerated so, why do we have a Principal and Superintendent that gets away with it? You might wanna question that one as well.











NORTHFIELD — Three freshmen girls were taken to Baystate Franklin Medical Center Friday night as a result of substance abuse during a dance at Pioneer Valley Regional School.
According to Northfield Police Chief Robert Leighton, the call came in at around 9 p.m. and Officer Igor Komerzan, who is also the school’s resource officer, responded. The students, two from Pioneer and one from Franklin County Technical School, were complaining of dizziness, nausea and difficulty breathing.
“One of them was on the floor,” Leighton recounted. “Two were transported by ambulance, one was transported by a parent.”
Leighton said the students’ ailments were caused by their consuming brownies containing marijuana, which he said one student brought and shared with the other two.
“It wasn’t the average type pot brownies,” he said. “A marijuana concentrate was used … We believe that’s why the children had such a severe reaction.”
Leighton explained marijuana can be processed into a paste, creating a higher Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content. Whereas marijuana typically has a THC content of 2.5 percent or less, Leighton said, marijuana concentrate “could be 100 percent pure.”
Leighton said the Police Department obtained remnants of the brownies and will have it analyzed to conclude its THC content. Through an investigation, the department will find how the students got a hold of the marijuana.
Having violated the student handbook, Superintendent Ruth Miller said she suspects the students’ punishment will involve suspension.
“Kids made some very poor choices,” she said. “It’s just a very tough lesson for kids to learn the hard way.”
“The school has done a good job this year of pursuing issues of drug possession in the school,” Leighton said. “We have no tolerance for drugs in our school.”
