The Region 9 Board of Education this week took up the matter of drug use at Joel Barlow High School.  Minutes from the meeting said that changes to the drug policies were reviewed to include alternate and additional language. 

The group unanimously approved the changes Tuesday to add vaporized delivery devices such as e-cigarettes to the list of banned products.  Any tobacco or nicotine-related products were already disallowed at Barlow, but this now spells it out specifically. 

The use or possession of medical marijuana was also voted on and are now on the prohibited list.  Patients under 21 are not legally allowed to possess medical marijuana under state law.
