Drugs in School

Journal question: The Smithtown School District has been in the news lately regarding drug usage in the schools. What are your feelings on our schools being involved, covered and the new requirement to have parents attend a seminar prior to prom and banquet. Click the link to this weekend's coverage.

Based on the article, heroin use seems to be a big problem that Smithtown is not doing enough about. At one part in the article, it said they assigned a publick safety officer only to patrol the parks and beaches for heroin use. Assignning one officer to patrol every beach and park does not seem like it would be a very effective way to catch heroin users. I think that Smithtown schools as well as the town of Smithtown need to find a better way to catch the people who are usuing heroin.
