This year, underage drinking at bRAVE escalated, with police citing 14 students.
This leaves the prospect of next year’s event up in the air.
“The future of bRAVE is yet to be determined,” principal Alan Goodwin
said in an email. “We need to step back from this event for a while and
then brainstorm with the SGA about the future.”
After six students were caught drinking at bRAVE last year, there was
an increased effort to prevent drinking this year through more
security, a stricter check-in system, and many appeals by Leadership
students on Facebook. Goodwin even warned students during announcements
at school and sent several emails to parents, imploring bRAVE-goers to
make good decisions. Still, this year marks by far the highest number of
students cited for being under the influence at the dance.
The 14 students, a mix of sophomores, juniors and seniors, were
pulled into the main office and given citations by police. Some students
were stopped as they entered bRAVE and some were pulled out of the
dance throughout the night.
Each student will receive three days of in-school suspension, 10
hours of community service and limits on extracurricular activities,
including being banned from participating in Talent Show and possibly
Prom, as a consequence of the zero tolerance policy, Goodwin said.
Penalties resulting from citations are determined by courts.

ReplyDeleteDoes it apply to the suppliers as well?
