Episode Details

Volusia County schools are cracking down on vaping and fighting with new, stricter rules designed to steer students toward better choices. First-time vapers face mandatory education courses — or 45 days in alternative school if they skip it. Repeat offenders get the same 45-day stint. With vaping referrals up 80% this year, officials say sending kids home isn’t enough — and might even backfire. Fighting is now graded: minor shoves become Level Two (detention or parent meetings), while serious fights causing injury or requiring intervention are Level Three (suspension or expulsion). Battery? That’s Level Four — automatic expulsion recommendation. The school board votes soon on these changes, aiming for clearer consequences and smarter outcomes.
