When and how often are drug searches done throughout the school system?

As a preventative measure, the district partners with the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office to conduct canine team walkthroughs of Olentangy’s middle schools and high schools.  Students are not given prior notice of these walkthroughs, which occur approximately one-to-four times per year in each secondary building. Click here to learn more about the canine team walkthroughs.

An investigation would begin immediately if a staff member received a report or had other reason to believe that a student was under the influence of drugs or in possession of drugs.  This investigation and any resulting discipline would follow the code of conduct outlined in the student handbook.
