to follow an “open campus" policy
for lunch time
That is what Ingleside ISO school
trustees decided after two and a half
hours of discussing student drug
abuse problems and closing the cam
pus
After hearing trustee Nancy
Anderson address a standing room
audience, and several other
speakers, trustees voted 2-5 against
closing the campus
Students are allowed a 30 minute
break in their school day to leave the
high school without permission
Hut trustees voted in unison to lm
plement a drug and alcohol abuse
education program at all levels of
students.
In her address, Anderson said, "I
believe drugs are on our campus
She cited an incident at the junior
high, as well as Ingleside Police
Department officials' opinions that
Ingleside had a drug problem
“I'm concerned about the quality
of education," she said
She said the school’s information
program is good, but not effective in
preventing abuse
Elizabeth Andrews presented the
school board with 235 names on a
petition demanding the campus tie
closed.
Student Council President Tommy
Adame addressed the board, in
sisting that the campus remain open
He said the organization was
presenting drug awareness pro-
grams to the students. He also
criticized a closed campus policy,
outlining a list of problems it would
create.
School Superintendent Gilbert Mir
covich said if closing the campus
would solve any problems, he would
be the first to do so
“We’ve got some problems," he
admitted f

Burnett chastised Anderson for
misusing information she obtained
from his office about Ingleside stu
dent's views and practices with
alcohol and other drugs
He also was against closing the
campus
Trustee Harvey Warren said what
goes on in the community is not the
school's responsibility Hut he added
that a drug education program is
worthwhile
"We don't have that big a
problem," he said
Trustee Will McDonald pointed out
that 30 minutes was not worth
hashing out He said the lunch period,
if it remained open campus policy,
should be extended to an hour for the
safety of the students
He said seven people in the back of
a truck was unsafe, speeding down
Mustang Drive
McDonald voted for the closed
campus
