Thursday montour high school had random Drug searches.. and something doesn't seem quite right..

Thursday 7:55 a.m All montour high school student had an emergancy lock down. At montour high school the lock down is when every one must go to homeroom. no students is alowed to come in or out of any room.after about an hour of waiting in the same room i saw that the k-9 was at the school right away i knew i was a drug search.
now see that i wasn't so mad about. what i was mad about as being lied to. Montour school will not release any information to students aside from it was a drug search. i feel that some students had thier right violated, some sudents had ti stand against that wall and spead thier book and papers on the floor as the dog went and smells everything in cluding our lockers.
*extra Information that is odd*
-this drug search had been schedgled for months according cheif vitmir(the cheif of Robinson Police). This was also planed to be our school picture day. it was also the day all students had to have an eye exam.
-also the picture studio was never there to set up in the morning like they always do.
- the lock down was call after attendace. so if a kid with drugs were to escape they were know he was accounted for.
- it was said that a parent call the school after the kid call the parent and told them what was going on . that school said " the was a water main break"
-this all happend right after John Ashcroft was here promoting the patriot acts ( and it's use on DOMESTIC criminals)

so if any of this Sound weird to anyone else. call montour school and ask then what happebnd thursday.412 490 6500 #3
