Two high schools, two cases of poisoning.

A student at the Secondary Forestry and Forest School in Maribor reportedly ingested a banned substance and required medical assistance, according to local police. The incident occurred on Tuesday after the student's parents informed authorities about their child’s possible drug use. Police responded to the call and conducted interviews with students at the school. The police confirmed they were investigating the case, including potential violations related to the possession or facilitation of prohibited substances. According to Anita Kovačič, a representative of the Maribor Police Department, officers are collecting information and verifying the circumstances surrounding the incident. She added that additional preventive measures would be taken in the area. School officials emphasized zero tolerance for such incidents. Ravnateljica Mateja Kišek Vovk stated that the school was made aware of the situation through the student’s parents and that police had been notified along with the parents of potentially involved students. She reiterated that the school would act within its authority and in accordance with existing rules and regulations to ensure a safe learning environment. Another incident involving a student at the Secondary Electrical and Computer Science School in Maribor occurred earlier this week. On Monday, a student collapsed at a bus stop and required emergency medical attention. According to the school principal, Irena Srša Žnidarič, the student was found in a poor condition and asked classmates to call for help. On Tuesday, police searched a device resembling a vape at the forestry school, suspecting it contained prohibited drugs. An analysis of the substance inside the device is ongoing. Authorities warned users of such devices not to assume the contents are safe, emphasizing the unknown risks associated with these products. Police are examining both cases under suspicion of drug consumption and possibly the facilitation of prohibited substance use. In the earlier case, the police are looking into whether someone else might have provided the substance to the student. The investigation continues, with further actions planned based on the results of the analysis.
