"Treat them like adults" many of you say? Fine, I am sure almost all of you had to take a drug test for your job, correct? Get rid of the dogs and just give them drug test then. Would that be ok? Of course not. The schools are trying to keep drugs out of the schools and this is the only way they have any chance to do so. God forbid they are trying to keep kids away from drugs at least during the school day because we all know some parents aren't doing so at home. We don't want drug searches and we don't want classes to educate them on the negative effects of drugs. If you did you wouldn't have been all for getting rid of a required Health class at the High school. Yep that is where they are(soon to be were) taught about drugs. Think about something other than your tax bill for once.

They had a drug search in 4th hour today on Jan. 17, 2012. We didn't know what it was just because of a fact that it was a soft lock-down. They had found possesion of marjuiana. It's so dumb that kids want to be posers and say they do that stuff. I hear it all of the time. But now, we got to know who was the posers and who was actualy in it. In 5th hour, Com Arts class a kid (A okay friend of mine)got pulled out of the class by Mr. Bennette (Assistant Princible) We also heard of other kids getting pulled out too. I don't belive it thou about the other kids getting pulled. Then kids were making a joke about it like, ''Yeah, their not finding the stuff in my bag.'' Or '' Man, you got lucky they didn't find your stash.'' What a bunch of idiots. I'm not trying to say their dumb, but your acting like you want to be in prison for this stuff. So if you think adolesence are just like kids... than your kind of worng. Most of us act like were cool, do drugs, and think were part of the ghetto. I personaly think its just... I can't explain. Anyways back to the story I've haden't heard of kid yet. Just remember thou, the teens in this socity want to act like the exact opposite, and I mean EXACT OPPOSITE on what the suseccful adults do. Just keep on searching away the lockers, and their will be something. Trust me.

So they were 0-27 this time, but what about the other six and seven searches? Have they EVER found anything? I bet not.

Ridiculous use of resources and a total lack of respect for the kids. I agree with Velheim; the kids who smoke pot will get busted in due time. The majority of the kids don't smoke pot, but you make them feel like you don't trust them and that you suspect them of wrong doing even though you have no proof or even signs. Why should they want to do the right thing when they will be treated like criminal suspects anyway? Kids are raised at home. Leave the suspecting to the parents.

I thought it was the exception rather than the rule when a drug sniffing dog gave a false alert.
So dogs sniff and bark but no way to train them to identify drugs.

0 for 27. In any other industry or profession, a technique with that sort of failure rate would be immediately shelved and forgotten, but we continue to grant drug dogs mystical powers that they clearly do not possess. 0 for 27.

The idea that the US Supreme Court has ruled that a drug dog alert constitutes reasonable cause for a warrantless search boggles the mind. This is hocus pocus, snake oil non-scientific junk that's about as reliable as dowsing with a divining rod -- and this is neither the first nor the last case to indicate as much. And yet we use it regularly to subvert the constitutional limits on our government. Shameful.

What a waste of tax dollars.
All to make a small group of pompous and often ignorant people feel safe. If our kids are smoking pot in school, they will get popped for doing so all by themsleves. Most kids don't think entirely and are very impulsive. You don't need drug dogs to pick up on that.

Way to treat our kids like criminals. Nice.
