Survey taken by Chisago County High school students grades 9th-12th show both good and bad news. In past years Chisago County was ranked as number 3 county in the nation for meth use/labs. It is now said that almost no students have ever used or tried meth. The new concerns among school officials is the growing problem of alcohol consumption and illegal prescription drug use. The survey states that almost 40% of high school seniors have binge drank within the last month, and another 8% has said they have NEVER drank before! This means 92% of the High school students have drank at least once!
One measure being taken is a plan to put a stop to underage drinking. Social Host Ordinance will hopefully soon be put into the works to prosecute parents or people over 21 for hosting underage drinking parties at their homes.
We hope to see these outrageous numbers go down soon with this new plan in progress.
