In a planned and scheduled event between the Aurora City Schools, the Aurora Police Department and neighboring communities who have trained “drug dogs,” the schools conducted both a training and drug scan of Aurora High School. Each year the district conducts an unannounced drug scan which includes canines specially trained to locate drugs. At 9:45 a.m. the school administrators secured students in the classes while the dogs checked lockers inside the building as well as vehicles in the parking lots. Typically, drug scans take approximately 30 minutes depending on the number of dogs available.

During this activity, no visitors were allowed to enter the building, nor were students allowed to exit the school. 

Once again, this was a planned and scheduled activity that the school and the city jointly worked together on to insure our schools and community are safe and drug free. In the event any drugs or paraphernalia are found, both the school and the police will work together to investigate and take appropriate disciplinary action. No drugs or paraphernalia were found during this search. 

The Aurora City School District would like to thank the following police departments for their support in our efforts to maintain a drug free and safe environment for our students; Aurora, Bainbridge, Euclid, Perry, Seven Hills, South Euclid and the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department.
