This stinks in general. I was a high school student 20+years ago, and I worked at a high school doing non teaching stuff (like spring break trips and after school programming) thru 2019, and the prevalency of drugs didn't change. The only conversation change was vaping. From my view point, having been a rural student, and having worked in rural schools, they're gonna experiment! Kids need safe folks to talk to. This applies to more than drugs but definitely applies to TX.
