Officials Remind Parents About Substance Awareness

The school principal said that this instance would be handled in accordance with the Killeen ISD Student Code of Conduct but also mentioned that this would be a great time for parents to talk to their kids about the dangers of consuming unknown substances.

School administrators are working to find out what exactly was consumed by the students and how it ended up on campus in the first place.

This is not the first time Texas students have been hospitalized after THC-products were consumed at school. But these products are illegal not only on school grounds, but in Texas altogether. There are serious consequences for anyone found to have THC-products in the Lone Star State.
