This week’s front page story covers the school’s monumental shift away from the No Chance policy — the culmination of a decades-long push for reform.

Proponents of the change hailed it as a step in the right direction. “I believe the new policy will only create positive change,” said all-school president Sydney Goldstein ’22. “Instead of being abandoned by the school, students will receive support of the professionals through the Health Center.”

However, celebration of the new Drug and Alcohol Policy — which takes effect next year — was overshadowed by the school’s continued efforts to enforce the old one. On March 29, an incident involving five Seniors who left campus after being caught in possession of alcohol sparked immediate backlash from students.

In a petition to the administration, more than 130 students implored the school to enforce the new rule immediately, which would have allowed the Seniors to remain in the school.

Speaking to The Record, Mr. Steve McKibben, dean of community life, explained the school’s decision not to do so.

“There are families who may have chosen the school because of the No Chance policy, and changing the policy midway through the year would be taking away from the school’s previous commitment,” he said.
