A North Vancouver school is taking drastic steps to crack down on students vaping. Seycove Secondary School says there’s been a recent spike in incidents of students vaping on school grounds, sometimes even in class.
In a bulletin sent to parents on Friday, the school said students have been vaping during class time, breaks and at lunch.
A North Vancouver school is taking drastic steps to crack down on students vaping.
Seycove Secondary School says there’s been a recent spike in incidents of students vaping on school grounds, sometimes even in class.
In a bulletin sent to parents on Friday, the school said students have been vaping during class time, breaks and at lunch.
In response, the school said it is now locking all student bathrooms except those on the main floor by the school gym, and a gender-neutral bathroom by the office.
The school is also locking locker rooms except before and after gym class, and is restricting how often kids will be allowed out of class.
“This is a school-wide concern which can only be addressed if we are consistent in our messaging and follow through,” reads the bulletin.
“Conversations at home will greatly increase our chances of educating our students as to why this is a serious issue.”
The decision, however, isn’t sitting well with everyone.
In an email to Global News, one parent called the move “totally unacceptable,” and said it unfairly penalizes all students over the accusations against some.
