This pamphlet is intended to inform educators and provide guidelines for dealing with drug use and abuse in schools. Problems related to and arising from our living in a drug-taking society are discussed and clarified. Other sections are concerned with: (1) the rationale; (2) recommended procedures for school-centered drug problems; (3) a legal appendix, which provides information on students' rights, federal drug laws and Minnesota drug laws; and (4) an appendix on symptoms and identification of potential drug users. Also included is a list of members of the Minnesota Ad Hoc Committee on school-centered problems related to drug use and abuse. Advice is given for adults who must deal with drug-connected youth and the procedures to follow in specific situations are outlined carefully. (TA)
