[Counselors] How do we deter marijuana at school?

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

We suspend students for marijuana. The cops are called and depending on circumstances they are usually set up with the county juvenile officer, and it goes from there. My county does not have a drug dog, but two of my surrounding counties do. They are always more than happy to bring their dogs out when I call them. I usually have them come out once or twice a year just to do a run through. They don't charge
I am sure I have students that hide it in those places, but the ones we've caught have all been caught smoking it, or we have found in cars, backpacks, and pockets.


At our school, students are not allowed to drive to school, participate in extracurricular activities, etc. for 20 days if they fail a drug test. That can be reduced to 10 days, but they have to complete 4 hours of drug counseling at school with the school counselor.

What have other small schools done when a student is caught with marijuana at school, that they got from the home, to stop the spread of this problem?

What $/funds are used for drug dogs.  The cost is $250. per visit.

How do you find it when students hide in their crotch or bra?
