Texas School Nixes Marijuana-Laced Treats

SHARYLAND, Texas - Sharyland school officials have taken the buzz out of sharing home-baked snacks with classmates.

 

 

 

Students in the Sharyland Independent School District can't share their sack lunches or any other food from home with others without school permission after a student was arrested for giving marijuana-laced brownies to friends.

 

 

"We do not permit a parent (or anyone else) to bring in food for students other than their own children without getting permission from the building administration," district Superintendent Sandra Reed said in a letter to parents Wednesday.

 

 

The letter did not specifically mention the brownies but talked of safety, fairness and consistency as well as the state's guidelines for Foods of Minimum Nutritional Value.

 

 

Mission police charged the 17-year-old student with felony delivery of marijuana following the incident last week. He allegedly shared the brownies with five students, one of whom got sick and was treated by the school nurse.

 

 

Some students said they were upset about the ban, as they like to bring treats for their friends as the school year ends.
