Vape detectors to be installed at LPOSD schools
SANDPOINT — Vape detectors are in the future of many Idaho schools — including all three Lake Pend Oreille School District high schools — thanks to a recent Idaho Department of Education grant the district received earlier this month.
The Vape Detector Pilot grant is funded by the Idaho Millennium Fund to prevent vaping before it starts, and to provide staff with an added resource to successfully intervene and assist students in areas equipped with detectors.
“It's no secret that vaping has become an epidemic on school campuses across the nation, with vaping rates increasing among teens each year,” Kristina Gavin, LPOSD school nurse, said. “With the addition of our two armed security officers this school year, along with support from building administration and other key staff, we are more equipped to tackle the vaping issues at hand.”
