Cherry Hill wants alcohol sensors for school events
The board of education will consider letting the district purchase 10 passive alcohol sensors in an attempt to curtail teen drinking prior to school-sponsored events such as dances and football games. The devices would be purchased only after board members look at how they have worked in other districts. If the full board approves the purchase, the sensors would be available sometime after the start of the school year for shared use by the high schools and middle schools. Mike Nuzzo, district security director, said the sensors are among a variety of tools the district would like to have to help identify at-risk behaviors. "There has been a slight increase of incidences of alcohol consumption at co-curricular events," he told the board Tuesday night. The hand-held sensors have a heating element that can detect alcohol vapors.
