(School) District names steroid specialist to stem abuse

[rainbow4321]

Our district has gone from "Steroid problem? We have no steroid problem in this district"..to appointing a steroid czar...amazing what came out of a Plano high school student wearing one of our school's sweatshirts on the front of Newsweek magazine under the headline of STEROID ABUSE just a few weeks ago.

The Plano school district has assigned an employee to oversee efforts to combat steroid abuse, administrators announced Tuesday.

Bart Rosebure, who oversees police and security services in the district's central cluster, has also been named the district's steroid specialist.

Administrators had been discussing the idea since the summer but formalized the position in November, said Mark Hinshaw, director of security police services for Plano schools. He said the district wanted to "get a solid base" on what the position would entail before publicizing it.

The new position was announced during a school board work session in which results of a student drug survey were discussed. Fewer Plano students actually reported taking steroids in a 2004 survey than the last survey in 2002, and Superintendent Doug Otto commented that far more district students abuse drugs other than steroids
