In an effort to deter students from vaping, Mesa Public Schools, Arizona’s largest school district, put vape sensors in all of its middle and high school bathrooms.“When I hear students tell me they don’t feel safe going into a bathroom, that really bothers me. They should feel safe at school and they should be able to go to the bathroom without worrying what's going on in the bathroom,” said Allen Moore, the district’s safety and security director.
At that point, administration can dispatch security to that bathroom and talk with the student when they walk out.Moore said the sensors do not record audio nor do they record video. The sensors can just detect chemicals from vapes.“The whole purpose is to try to deter it. To be honest with you, I don’t really want to catch anybody. I want the message to get out there that we put vape sensors in our bathrooms because we don’t want you to vape in our bathrooms,” Moore said.
