Schools keep strict stance on marijuana amid scattered incidents
County officials and Frederick Police say no plan for drug raids but vow to prosecute all drug offenders and enforce suspensions or expulsions. During the first weeks of the new school year, about the usual number of marijuana arrests were reported, including a Mid dletown High student caught distributing the drug and a student referred to state police for possession at the County Vo-Teth Center. Administrators stress discipline, counseling, and careful handling due to family issues, while reaffirming marijuana remains illegal and suspensions typically last five days.
