BOE ERRED IN LIMITING DRUG-SNIFFING DOGS

It's unbelievable that the members of the state Board of Education
fail to understand that public schools must be drug free by not
allowing trained dogs to detect drugs without limitations
(Star-Bulletin, Oct. 23).

Once entering state property all vehicles, purses, bags, lockers,
backpacks should be subject to search. Any illegal substances found
on any administrator, teacher, student or employee should be cause
for immediate termination and expulsion. Maybe then, in a safe,
drug-free environment, children may actually learn something.
