Remember the alcohol-related trash found along a path between Gaithersburg Middle and Gaithersburg Elementary schools? Well, the City did clean it up that once, but it seems that not much has changed on the production end. These pictures were taken last Monday, April 30th.
State law, by the way, is kind of unequivocal about this sort of activity. § 26-103 says: Unless locally approved by the county board of education, a person may not drink or possess any alcoholic beverage on the premises of any public school. Since this has been going on for some time, perhaps this means that the Montgomery County Board of Education has approved this activity? Or perhaps this is just another one of those laws that Montgomery County has found to be inconvenient, or the State’s Attorney thinks may be unconstitutional?
