Lancaster schools crack down on vaping in schools

The district is investing in devices that detect vaping

LANCASTER COUNTY, S.C. — An area school district is considering stronger discipline against teen vaping in schools.

The Lancaster County School District Safety and Transportation page posted on Facebook earlier this week, announcing it ordered vape detectors. 

The tech would pick up on vaping if and when students are using them, and alert administrators. The Facebook post adds often times students are using marijuana cartridges in e-cigarettes. The school district said the hope is to curb vape use.
