Following adoption of Resolution No. 2717, Councilman DeMirjyn expressed
his concern with the present policy of the school administration and
Board in the handling of accused peddlers of heroin, dangerous drugs and
marijuana - the current policy considers each case individually. Coun-
cilman DeMirjyn feels that positive action with written rules should be
established related to "pushers of drugs, " and that they should be segre-
gated from school students in general, with the recommendation that they
be tutored to keep up their grades until such time as they are taken to
trial and either vindicated or convicted. Mayor Burroughs stated that
the City Council and the police have made every effort to emphasize the
seriousness of the entire problem, and expressed hope that the schools
would indeed take a firm stand. Chief Graefe stated that at the present
time the cost of apprehending the narcotics peddlers is approximately
$15, 000, or 2' (� on the tax dollar.
