    Now go sweep East Side High School.

      And buchholz, GHS, pk younge..
      Let’s not be so small minded here. There are plenty of other schools in this county with troubled students.

      • Concern Citizen

        That’s totally correct.

    • Just the Facts

      If you think Eastside has a bigger drug problem than Buchholz, I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you.

    It’s 2025 and pills are the drug of choice for most kids. K-9 Joker cannot smell those drugs.

    lmao… sounds like a really effective search

    This is obviously total BS for PR and to try and scare the (guilty) kids. Plenty of those kids have Marijuana scent on their clothes and other belongings, even if they don’t have a bag of weed in their locker. You can’t avoid it if you were in the same room (or car) where someone was smoking – even from the day before.

    I can tell you with 100% certainty that any normal person can smell it – even without a dog. This must come from the same nonsense factory that said last week that most of the weed they find is laced with fentanyl and meth.

    Do we know the background on these type of searches? How often, how successful in finding drugs, where?

    Thank Goodness! Random sweeps are a good idea at all the schools.

  7. You voted for it, you got it.

    They need to wait in the drop off line in the mornings at the elementary schools.
    Guarantee they’ll catch some people. Equally unfortunate, they’ll be some officials claiming they were targeted.
    Those officials who condone such illegal behaviors are part of the problem.

    Buchholz was the biggest drug swinger when I was in HS white kids always get away with it too as long as mommy and daddy have money

    lol this dog isn’t trained to smell for marijuana.
