WINONA, Minn. — Winona school leaders are hopeful that the state’s new and looser marijuana laws won’t become a school problem. Superintendent Annette Freiheit noted in a Winona Daily News interview that drugs haven’t been a major issue. “Knock on wood it stays that way.” Officials plan to treat marijuana offenses as they do alcohol infractions: “We would probably have a parent come and pick them up and confiscate whatever they had brought to school.” Also, she said, police generally would be called.
