Drug-Sniffing Dogs Introduced To Palm Springs Middle Schools
Three assemblies will be held today at Nellie N. Coffman Middle School to inform students that drug-sniffing dogs will be brought to Palm Springs Unified School District middle schools and high schools.
The assemblies will explain how and where the dogs will search and what kind of drugs they are trying to detect.
Searches will be conducted several times through the end of the school year at each of the district’s middle school and high schools, the district’s Joan Boiko said.
Another assembly will be held 7:45 a.m. on Friday at James Workman Middle School in Cathedral City.
The assemblies are meant only for students and not open to the public, Boiko said.
