Isijeziso sokuphuza imfucumfucu esikoleni asiqinile ngokwanele, abaphathi abathathu baseRapides Parish bacele ukuthi kushintshwe umthetho-mgomo we-vaping ngoLwesibili, bekhuluma nekomiti lebhodi lesikole mayelana nokweqisa okwenzeke emakhempasi kanye nobunzima bokuthola ukuthi yimaphi amakhemikhali abafundi abawafaka emakhempasini. amapeni.
USons Pathoumthong, iphini likathishanhloko we-Alexandria Senior High School, uthe, “Eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, sikubonile lokhu. i-vaping ivele ibe ubhubhane kubafundi bethu, ngisho nasezikoleni ezimaphakathi. Lezi zingane namuhla zinamahloni kakhulu nge-vaping yazo, okuyinto esibhekene nayo. "
Ngo-September 20, phakathi nomhlangano wekomiti lezemfundo, ilungu lebhodi uWilton Barrios lacela incazelo yenqubomgomo ye-vaping yesifunda ukuze kutholakale ukuthi unswinyo lokusebenzisa izinto ezingekho emthethweni emshinini wokufuthulisa umoya uyalingana yini nowokubhema ugwayi.
“Abaphathi abaningi cishe bangakutshela ukuthi baphathwa ngendlela efanayo, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi kubi lokho,” esho. "Ingabe lokho kuyiqiniso noma kungamanga?"
Uma izinto bezinqatshelwe, uSuperintendent Jeff Powell wamqinisekisa, ngeke kufane. Uma kukhona “izinsolo ezizwakalayo” zokuthi okudliwa ngumfundi akukho emthethweni, ngokusho kwakhe, izikole zingase zihlolele izidakamizwa. Uma kungekho emthethweni, "imiphumela ihlukile," waxwayisa.
UBarrios ubuze ukuthi ngabe lowo owenza izivivinyo zezidakamizwa angasenqaba yini isicelo sikathishanhloko sokuthi asithathe.
NgokukaClyde Washington, umsizi kansumpa ophethe wezokuphatha, othishanhloko kumele bagcwalise uhlu lokuhlola izinsolo oluphusile bese beludlulisela kumxhumanisi wezidakamizwa wesifunda, “obuyekeza amaqiniso ukuze anqume ukuthi kwanele yini ukuqhubeka nokuhlolwa.”
UBarrios wathi izicelo zabaphathi ezithile zenqatshiwe, futhi uWashington wayemazise ukuthi izivivinyo ngeke zenziwe uma isicelo singamukeleki. Uhlu lokuhlola, ngokusho kukaPowell, lusekelwe ezidingweni zomthetho, ngakho-ke kudingeka "kube nokusola okunengqondo kwangempela."
Lapho uhlu olude luthunyelwa kumalungu ebhodi yiWashington, umongameli webhodi uDkt. Stephen Chapman wabuza ukuthi abazali bayaziswa yini noma cha ukuthi ingane yabo izohlolelwa nini izidakamizwa. UPowell uthe yize abazali baziswa uma kunesizathu sokusola, imvume yabo ayidingeki ekuhlolweni.
USandra Franklin, oyilungu lebhodi, ubuze ukuthi ukutholakala komfundi ipeni lokuphefumula kungaholela yini ekuhlolweni kwezidakamizwa ngokushesha. UPowell waphendula ngokuthi cha.
UMark Roberts, uthishanhloko wase-Oak Hill High School, ubuze iphaneli ngokuthi lungakanani uhlu lokuhlola izinsolo okufanele lugcwaliswe ngaphambi kokuthi kuhlolwe izidakamizwa. Ngokusho kwakhe, othishanhloko babona sengathi kufanele basivikele isidingo sokuhlolwa uma bebona into engabonakali ifanelekile.
U-Powell ubuze uRoberts ngombono wakhe mayelana nokuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa okubangelwa ukusetshenziswa kwepeni le-vape. U-Roberts wathula kancane, ephawula ukuthi uma kuyinsangu, iphunga liyokwanela ukusekela izinsolo ezinengqondo.
Kepha wengeza ngokuthi ezinye izinto ezenziwe namuhla azibangeli ukuthi ama-vaping pen akhe amafu. Uthe ngenxa yokuthi abafundi bazisebenzisa ezindlini zangasese esikoleni, kunezincwadi ezisuke zixwayisa ngokuthi umuntu oyedwa kuphela osebenzisa itafula ngesikhathi.
“Siba nabafundi abagcwele ezindaweni zokuthengisa, abathathu, abane, noma abahlanu ngesikhathi, futhi lapho singakwazi nokubona ukuthi kusetshenziswa i-vape,” kusho uRoberts. “Bangase bangakhombisi izimpawu uma bephafuza i-vaporizer. Ngiyesaba futhi njengoba angazi ukuthi yini ekwivape.”
Ngokuka-Roberts, ukusebenzisa i-vape kufanele kuphathwe ngendlela efanayo nokusebenzisa ugwayi, futhi izephulamthetho ezilandelanayo kufanele zithunyelwe ku-Rapides Alternative Positive Programme for Students (RAPPS), esebenza njengendawo yokuxoshwa.
Uthishanhloko wasePineville High School, uKarl Carpenter, ubonise ipeni le-vape elalibanjwe esikhungweni sakhe ngalolo suku futhi wakhumbuza abafundi ukuthi abantu abadala abaneminyaka engu-21 nangaphezulu kuphela okufanele bathenge. Uthe uma abafundi bebanjwa besebenzisa ipeni noma i-vaping, abahlolwa ngokushesha.
Carpenter wabelane ngokukhathazeka kukaRoberts mayelana nokungazi ukuthi yiziphi izinto ezihogelwa yintsha esebenzisa amapeni e-vape esikoleni.
Angazi ukuthi zengezani, esho. “Ngonyaka odlule besivame ukubiza ama-ambulensi ukuthi athwale abafundi abasuka esikhungweni sami bababuyisele esibhedlela ukuze bathole usizo lwezempilo. Ngenxa yalezi zinkinga, sesiqalile ukunikeza uNarcan esikhungweni sethu. "
Ukweqisa kwezidakamizwa kungelashwa ngokushesha nge-Narcan.
Uthe abafundi abasiboni isijeziso sezinsuku ezintathu esikoleni njengesibalulekile. Uveze ukuthi abafundi abaphula umthetho kumele bamiswe okungenani izinsuku ezintathu.
Umbazi wavuma ukuthi nakuba engeyena udokotela, kuyamphazamisa lapho etshelwa ukuthi azikho izinsolo ezanele zokuhlola izidakamizwa ezinganeni azibona zinamehlo ayingilazi noma ezinye izimpawu. Uncome ukubheka izindawo lapho abafundi basekolishi bethenga khona amapeni abo e-vape.
"Ngiyazeseka izijeziso ezinzima kakhulu ngokufaka imfucumfucu esikhungweni sami," esho.
Uthe nakuba imibhalo ingase iqedwe, akekho noyedwa ovela ehhovisi elimaphakathi nedolobha lase-Alexandria owayezovakashela izikole ukuze abone “le ngane eslobbering, snot-slinging”, ngokubona kwayo, edinga ukuhlolwa kwezidakamizwa.
“Futhi lokho kuyasicasula esikoleni,” enezela
U-Pathoumthong ucheme nabanye abalawuli, wathi ubengacabangi ukuthi inhlawulo ifanelekile. Ukwengeza, ubalule ukuthi ukutholakala notshwala kwabafundi be-RAPPS kubangela ukumiswa kwezinsuku ezingu-30 nokuthi ama-vaping pen awavunyelwe kubantu abaneminyaka engaphansi kuka-21.
Uthe uke wasebenza ekomitini eminyakeni edlule elanquma ukuphatha umshini wokukhipha umhwamuko njengokuthwala utshwala “njengoba akukho emthethweni.”
Uvumelane noCarpenter ethi akazi ukuthi abafundi bafutha ini. Uthe kusukela kwethulwa ama-vaping pen imakethe isishintshile. Nokuthi awasenawo amanani futhi esikhundleni salokho atholakala kalula kunoma yiliphi ikhona esitolo.
NgokukaPathoumthong, izingane azisebenzisi nje kuphela lezi zisetshenziswa kodwa futhi ziyawadayisa.
“Ngesikhathi nginengxoxo noNkz. Butler (uShewanda Butler, umxhumanisi weSikole Esivikelekile Nezidakamizwa esifundeni) mayelana nenqubomgomo entsha kulo nyaka, ngimangele kuphela ngoba yaqala ukungabaza,” esho. "Futhi imiphumela kufanele ibe mikhulu uma sibheka isimo esiba sibi."
Uthe ukumiswa kwesikole izinsuku ezintathu akwanele.
Ngokusho kwakhe, kudingeka izijeziso ezinzima uma isifunda sikukhathalela ngempela ukuphepha kwabafundi baso namakhempasi.
“Ngenxa yokuthi lezi zingane zizokwenza izinqumo ezimbi kakhulu esikhungweni semfundo ephakeme uma zingaphansi kwethonya, ngisho nemishini yokuphefumula,” esho. “Ngicabanga lokho ngokweqiniso. Bazoqhubeka nokuthatha izinqumo ezimbi uma benesibindi sokungena ekilasini. ”
UMark Dryden, oyilungu lebhodi uxoxisane ngokuthi abafundi bangalinyazwa ngokushesha kangakanani—ngokuvamile ngaso leso sikhathi—izinto abazihogela ngamapeni ashisayo. Uveze ukuthi, nakuba alushiya ngaphandle usuku, umfundi waseBuckeye High School ucishe washona ngaleyo ndlela.
Ukube uNarcan ubengatholakali esikhungweni semfundo ephakeme, uthe, “Besingalahlekelwa yileya ngane.”
Ukuze sibuyele kumthethonqubo oqinile owawusebenza ngo-2019, ikomidi lagunyaza isiphakamiso esithatha indawo 2-1. Lesi sinyathelo sisekelwe yilungu lekomiti uDarrell Rodriguez nosihlalo uLinda Burgess. UFranklin uvotele ukuthi cha.
Ibhodi lonke kufanele lixoxe ngalesi siphakamiso emhlanganweni walo ohlelelwe njalo ngo-Okthoba 4.
