Nazareth Area High School Drug/Contraband Sweep

It looks like the Nazareth Area High School is being searched today for drugs/weapons/other contraband. Here's a quote from the email I received just a few minutes ago:

This will also serve as the response to any parents or press who would contact any HS staff member during this time.

Nazareth Area High School is currently conducting our annual canine search of the building and all lockers. Any illegal contraband located within the building will be addressed as per the Nazareth Area School District Drug and Alcohol Policy. In order to facilitate this search by the administration and local law enforcement officials, building security procedures for a non-emergency situation have been implemented. At this time, teachers are still continuing with their regular academic instruction.

To our knowledge, at this time, there is no present danger of any illegal drugs or paraphernalia present on school property. This is simply a routine search being conducted to ensure that our students and staff are able to teach and learn in a safe and drug free environment.

Upon completion of the canine search, the building security procedures will be lifted and all students and staff will resume their regular duties and mode of operation.

Thank you for your support and cooperation in ensuring that our students and staff are able to operate and receive their education in a safe and drug free environment.
