Region 9 Board of Ed votes down use of Breathalyzer at prom, homecoming

Breathalyzer tests will not be done on Joel Barlow High School students attending various events this year.  The Region 9 Board of Education took up the matter at their meeting last night.  The use of a breathalyzer test at the Homecoming Dance, Prom and Senior Banquet was going to be implemented this year.  But the matter drew a split vote, with four of the eight members saying no. 

 

The Redding Pilot reports the issue was brought to the Board by Barlow's administrator because of the severity of alcohol-related events increasing and affecting dances over the last four years. 

 

School officials cited 14 students being punished for drug or alcohol use at these specific events.  Last year, some students had to be transported to the hospital during prom.
