(Continued from Page 1) hundred and forty-four parents (91 per cent) believed alcohol offenses should be punished within the school system the same as use or possession of drugs.
Students agreed but by a much smaller margin. Of the 341 students polled. 203 (59 per cent) thought alcohol use deserved equal punishment as drug use while 138 students felt alcohol violations merited different treatment.
Both groups thought first offenders deserved less punishment than those caught previously in a drug or alcohol violation but again by differing margins. Among parents, 152 (57 per cent) favored treating first offenders more leniently while 221 students (67 per cent) supported the same position.
Students split sharply with their parents over the issue of reporting drug and alcohol cases to the state police as well as the county sheriffs department. While 71 per cent of the parents thought drug and alcohol offenses should be reported to state police. 71 per cent of the students felt that violations of the school's drug and alcohol policy should be reported only to local police.
Mrs. Massic read what she described as a cross-section of written comments from both parents and RCHS students, addressing the drug and alcohol question as well as other issues facing the schools.
