PUBLIC NOTICE
Annette Island School District
April 8, 2025
Dear Parents, Guardians, Staff, and Community Members:
This notice is to inform you that a small plastic bag (1”x1”), with smiley faces on it,
was found in the Metlakatla High School Hallway. This baggie had a small amount
of residue in it that tested positive for methamphetamine (Meth). Through video
evidence, we have determined that the baggie was stuck on the bottom of a
student’s shoe and inadvertently was brought into the school. The student was
unaware of the baggie or its contents. It was simply tracked into the building. A
school employee found the baggie on the floor of the hallway and turned it over
to administration, who then contacted the police.
We have no evidence to suggest that Meth is being distributed or consumed in
the schools. However, evidence shows that Meth is on the island and is being
distributed through small baggies with yellow smiley faces on it.
If you or your child come across these baggies or other drug paraphernalia on
campus, including the playground and covered area, please contact the police and
inform administration. By being aware and working together, we can ensure our
schools remain safe places for students, staff, and guests.
Sincerely,
M. Taw Lindsey
Superintendent of Schools
Annette Island School District
