Drury Lock-Down
On Friday, October 27, Drury High School was "locked down" for a safety sweep of the school. At no time was there any threat made directly or indirectly to the school or any student or staff at Drury. Students were informed that it was another measure to survey the school in an effort to provide a safe, orderly learning environment for teaching and learning. It should serve as a message to the students that the North Adams School District has a zero tolerance policy regarding drugs and alcohol. As a member of the school committee and as a parent, I'm glad to see this happen and I appreciate the well-organized fashion in which the lock-down and sweep of the school was carried out. Students, staff and administration all handled the lock-down procedures very well. I think students can expect to see more of this in the future.

I asked that same question of the superintendent yesterday. This is the first time in the memory of the current administration.
Lot of rumors about drug activity floating around, Chris. The administration had an increasing concern about it, and decided now was the time to see what the reality was. Fortunately, it wasn't as bad as some feared, and actually little was found. Will need to continue to be closely monitored to keep drugs out of the schools.
I know 3 student were found with marijuana a couple of weeks ago, on a day I was subbing. I think that prompted the larger search last week.
