Vaping Problem at OOBHS

I know that you all received a letter from me last week regarding the vaping problem in our school. We are catching students vaping and confiscating devices almost every other day. I want to be clear on one issue. If we confiscate vaping devices and accessories they will not be returned. They will be destroyed and thrown away. Thanks for your cooperation in advance.
