VAPE NOT
VAPE NOT
The start of a new school year includes specific training for teachers and staff in a wealth of areas. Security and Texas state law affects schools even more in 2023. San Marcos Police Department Officer Mendoza recently brought a presentation to SMCISD High School teachers about vape pens and THC pens, including information about the current laws and what teachers should do if they find the devices on campus. San Marcos CISD students and families need to be aware that if a student possesses a vape on San Marcos Consolidated ISD property or at a district event, by law, they must be placed in a disciplinary alternative education program (DAEP). Texas legislators passed HB 114 in the last regular session, and starting on Sept. 1, students will be bound to the new standard. The new school year began Tuesday in San Marcos with thousands of students, teachers and staff across the district getting to know many new routines. Over the next several issues, the San Marcos Daily Record will continue to share First Day of School photos sent to us. For today, head to Page 4. 08/17/2023 12:00 AM
Man unnerved by scantily clad step-daughter
Man unnerved by scantily clad step-daughter
DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my second wife for 10 years. Most everything is fine, but we have one area of conflict. It is regarding her daughter, my stepdaughter, who has grown from a cute little 9-year-old into a beautiful 19-year-old. The problem is her attire around the house. She routinely wears a sports bra and panties around the house (around me). I find it distracting, to say the least. I have discussed it with her mother, but she sees nothing wrong with it, probably because she dresses pretty much the same way. I can’t get my wife to understand that what might be OK for her is inappropriate for her daughter. What should I do? By the way, I have never said or done anything inappropriate, but I find myself taking a look at her more often than I should. Help! – STEPDAD WHO SEES IN TEXAS DEAR STEPDAD: If you haven’t told your wife DIRECTLY that a beautiful young woman parading around in her underwear and a sports bra is arousing, and you would prefer her daughter dress more modestly around you, you should. And out of respect for you, your wife should explain those facts to her daughter and remind her that she’s no longer a child, and she should cover up. 08/16/2023 12:00 AM
