He added: “Many kids who we would never see on the sidewalk before are now out on that sidewalk using vapes, instead of smoking.”He and other principals have stepped up supervision of bathrooms. Some even check them hourly.
“We’ve seen this movie play itself out with smoking in the past. And so we are trying to be more pro-active than we have been in the past, because we’re smarter now and we know where this is going,” she said.
