Dear parents:

In an effort to protect the health and safety of our children, I authorized random drug searches of school buses transporting fifth through twelfth-grade students. This is a part of our continual effort to make our schools “drug free” zones.

A search was conducted at Rose Hill Middle School on October 10, 2007 at approximately 7:05 a.m. by the Metro Narcotics K-9 unit. As a result of this search, the Sheriff’s Department seized approximately 5.1 total grams of marijuana from a bus.

The investigation is continuing.

Please join me as we continue to make our schools safe and drug free for all of our students. With your help, we will continue to do everything possible to ensure the well-being of our students.

Sincerely,
Nancy S. Zambito
