Staff ALICE Training on Sept. 19th
This program encompasses training through both an online certification course for each staff member and live group instruction for active shooter drills. The live active drill for OHS STAFF will be on the morning of September 19th (late start for students). It will be led by certified ALICE trainers and will allow staff to put their knowledge into action by working through scenarios and drills.
FDA Confirms, VAPING is a Teen Epidemic
The agency said it was sending warning letters to 1,100 retailers — including 7-Eleven stores, Walgreens, Circle K convenience shops and Shell gas stations — and issued another 131 fines, ranging from $279 to $11,182, for selling e-cigarettes to minors.
Federal law prohibits selling e-cigarettes to anyone under 18. In a briefing with reporters, the F.D.A. commissioner, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, said that more than two million middle and high school students were regular users of e-cigarettes last year.
Is Vaping an Concern at OHS?
Yes, in the 2018-19 school year (3 weeks in), 84% of our disciplinary actions have involved vaping. Please be aware that vaping is an illegal action for teenagers and will lead to further consequences.
