SEEKING TOUGHER DRUG ENFORCEMENT

I would like to take this time time to applaud Burr and Burton
Academy in Manchester for taking a step against teenagers and drugs.
I think having the drug dogs go into the school is a wonderful thing.
Unlike the Rutland City school system, who apparently thinks it is a
joke. I approached the vice principal of Rutland High School and the
assistant superintendent about having the high school searched
because of the use of the "Happy Trail" on a daily basis by the
students to get high and also use tobacco. And I guess no one in
Rutland cares about this. Because the request I made was never
brought to the attention of the School Board like the assistant
superintendent said it would be at the next meeting. If anyone ever
asked my opinion of the Rutland City school system, I would tell them
to stay as far away as they could, because it is a joke.
