Mercer Schools adopt new drug and alcohol policy
Mercer County Board of Education approved a countywide substance abuse policy to take effect January 1. It bans alcohol, marijuana, LSD, PCP and other illegal drugs on school property and at events, outlines offenses with suspensions and potential expulsion, and mandates prevention programs including Project Charlie. The policy requires reporting by staff and plans for counseling, with seminars planned for teachers and extensive student education across eight elementary schools and four secondary schools.
