SIERRA VISTA — Seven police incidents were reported at Buena High School on Tuesday.

The first call came at 7:55 a.m. when a juvenile was referred for assault. Officer Tracy Grady, spokeswoman for the Sierra Vista Police Department, said a boy allegedly assaulted his ex-girlfriend at the school at 5225 E. Buena School Blvd. Grady did not know the exact nature of the assault, but it may have been related to that fact that they were once in a relationship.

The second call, at 8:07 a.m., involved the father of the ex-girlfriend who came to the high school to pick up his daughter and take her out of school for the day. According to Grady, the father become upset. The man, 47, was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.

Three students were referred on drug charges during the day. Grady said teachers and administrators were suspicious of the way the children were acting, so they had security search them.

At 9:37 a.m., a juvenile was referred for possession of narcotics. At 12:30 p.m., a juvenile was referred for possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. At 12:53 p.m., a juvenile was referred for possession of drug paraphernalia. All three were cited and released.

The last two incidents occurred outside the school building. First, at 8:23 a.m., a license plate was stolen from a motorcycle at the high school. Second, a two-vehicle wreck occurred at 2:21 p.m. at Charleston Road and Fighting Colt Drive. No one was injured. A driver following too closely caused the wreck, police said.

" does SV have a big brother/big sister program? It's been helpful in the past and if some of the kids get some support in the middle school wouldn't there be a chance it would help them? A good mentor, shows them they care, and boosts their self esteem? It won't fix everything but can't SV and it's residences at least give it a try? I will help with a child. It worked for me when I was a confused teen in the state's custody. Juvenile detention was a haven for me, I knew I was safe there. "

" I can't believe all of these favorable comments! There are at least eight "inactive" gangs at Buena, and the hallways are controlled by different ethnic groups. There is no discipline, and the fact that there were seven calls to the police in a single day attest to the fact that the situation at Buena is out of control. Just look at the facts, and not these one sided "everything is rosy" comments when the facts prove otherwise. "

buena parent volunteer wrote on Sep 2, 2008 9:05 AM:

" I have been a volunteer for four years now at buena.I do not see any difference in this high school or of any other high school. If you are looking for trouble you will find it, if your reason to go to school is to get a good education you will find it also at buena.It is interesting to read the comments of all these people who have written, and the suggestions they are making, but not one person states they will take the time to volunteer and see what actually goes on in the school.It is a wonderful school!! "

concerned parent wrote on Sep 2, 2008 7:08 AM:

" I believe that Buena School should invest into survalince camera's for the school and when an incident takes place the video can be reviewed to see exactly what happened, these are not bad kids, just alot to temptations in that school.
There are bad apples in every bunch,unfortunately for some kids they do learn from their parents, they see the parents acting like jerks,bulling etc, they will try and do the same.
Drugs, that is an on going fight, whens the last time parent's have checked their medicine cabinet? if you have narcotics, lock them up. "

" If you all take a look at the grammar in some of the sentences of these wonderful Buena High students you can see how much they are learning. They can't even spell correctly. As far as I am concerned Buena has never had a handle on the curriculum or the students. Perhaps they need to encourage some of the teachers, Vice Principals to retire and bring new ones into the school with fresh new ideas and skills! "

" ok. i just graduated,none of this surprises me. this school was outta control. as for whoever is sticking up for the school saying they have rules. yeah.. rules are enforced for those who are NOT favorites. favs as in jocks or cheerleaders or smart ones. i was a cheerleader all 4yrs& know for a fact that this school is way unorganized. oh and what about the gangs?its obvious the teachers are even terrified. the honest big problem is.. too many kids in one school. i remember my freshman yr seeing blood stains on the carpet from fights. "

" To momofbhsstudent: I have to agree. My son hated middle school but really enjoys Buena. He has several friends, enjoys the wide diversity in students and classes, and gets really good grades. His only gripe is when he gets stuck with boring teachers, and luckily only has one of them this year. I was initially worried about drugs at the school because of Sierra Vista's proximity to the Mexican border and the semi-transient population of the fort, but that problem doesn't seem to be any worse at Buena than where we came from (Scottsdale). "

" Most of you who write sound ridiculous! You want them to crack down? The basis of FIVE of your complaints were about cracking down! Assault, disorderly conduct, drug charges. Those of you who are afraid of sending kids to Buena? Good kids easily avoid trouble. Troubled kids find it. Buena was a wonderful experience for my kids! "

momofbhsstudent wrote on Aug 29, 2008 5:41 PM:

" I had the same fears that I have read from other commenters, but I have to say that I am thrilled so far (3 years) with my son's education. He loves going to school everyday, he is involved in many different extracurricular activities, and has excellent grades. I have to say that if there is a problem with a student, it is usually a lack of parenting. We can't rely on "the village" to raise our kids. Parents: GET INVOLVED!!! "

" The population at Buena is not the problem (my grad class had 800+ -- 30 years ago). Drugs can't be a problem -- we had scales in lockers & narcs on premises. The curriculum was markedly different and school year longer. That HS was and still is in the top 100 nationally. I have had 3 kids at Buena; only one has done well there. I can't figure it out. "

" Solidox - Just who do you consider the "trash kids"...parents with income levels less than $40,000 or live in Fry Town? Trash comes in all income levels, religions, races, etc. It does not discriminate. I am familiar with the faculty who has their favorites. The kids notice it, too. It's preparing them for the outside world though. There are kids there who make excellent grades that can be considered trash, too. Someone may think that about your kids, too, so be careful what you say. "

Average Citizen wrote on Aug 27, 2008 12:12 PM:

" The only issue I have with Buena is the discipline. It's too lax. If a student gets suspended, they get to go home for 9 days and do whatever they want, play video games go on the internet etc, especially if the parents aren't home because they are at work or especially if the parents don't care. They get to do homework from the computer and still get credit for the days they missed. Where's the discipline in that?????? They need a strict in-school suspension. "

" I got in trouble last year for possesion of alcohol on school campus and i came back from it. I learned. Now i am doing better than ever. I have top grades and i am very active in school. I think the problem is that kids are giving into peer pressure and they are not getting involved in something productive. I learned the hard way and i can tell you from expirience that it is definately not fun at all! So get your head on strait classmates and be smart. "

" What is with you people anyway??? School are supposed to provide your children with the opportunity for learning in a safe environment. They are NOT supposed to have to teach your kids right from wrong and how to behave. That's your job. The fact that schools need armed security to protect your kids from each other is YOUR failure, not the school's. You want to blame alcohol and drugs? You want to blame bad influences? You want to blame "society"? Blame yourselves ... you're society, not the schools and not the cops. "

azdave wrote on Aug 26, 2008 6:03 PM:

" To Another High School: There weren't cops at my high school either, but that was a long time ago for both of us. My oldest son went to Horizon HS in Scottsdale twenty years ago and they had four full time cops there all of the time. Drugs and gangs are the biggest reasons police are on campus, neither of which are the school's fault and neither of which are solved by counselors and private security. There may be valid reasons for building a second high school, but that won't change the need for cops either. "

" What if there was a school shooting? Who are the first people you're going to call??? Sure as heck not school security they're not armed. You're going to call the police. What kind of stupid suggestion was that? Obviously you're in denial. I believe cops are in schools for a reason. It's now become the norm. Catch up with society!!! "

azdave wrote on Aug 26, 2008 1:07 PM:

" Brian, I found that same link ... it's the first one that shows up on Google. Like almost all similar "studies" (I looked at a couple of dozen) it was taken by proponents of home schooling. More relevant perhaps is that the great majority of home schooled students come from educated families who stress education, and those students would likely do better than average in a public school environment as well. As I said before, though, I'm not against home schooling if the parent can offer better teaching ... only if they're trying to isolate. "

RWE wrote on Aug 26, 2008 10:25 AM:

" The first thing that has to happen is to make all students responsible for their actions. These kids do not fear authority, or respect it. The kids that are getting in trouble have probably been in trouble long before high school but were never PUNISHED properly. I don't mean disciplined, I mean PUNISHED. "

" These are kids. Kids are allowed to make mistakes. That is how they learn. We are not raising robots. When I was in high school, I made good and bad decisions, but I wasn't being carted to jail every time I skipped a class (I turned out fine-- went to college, etc). Why are we so obsessed with having perfect kids? If you ask me, poor academics at Buena is truly the problem. I teach college and have students who can't even form a complete sentence. Raise the bar. "

blown out of porportion wrote on Aug 25, 2008 8:11 PM:

" ok, you guys are blowing this way out of porportion.. for one if you parents have that little faith that your kids can resist the peer pressure that comes with all highschools, then you might as well homeschool them, and second, average students like me dont even here about this stuff. you guys act like all highschools are so much better than buena, but seriously, its not like bisbee wouldnt be this bad if it had more students. though it is true that more highschools are needed in sierra vista dont act like buena is the spawn school of satan "

Tiny wrote on Aug 25, 2008 7:21 PM:

" For all those who seem ignorant, Buena is not a bad place. I have 4 AP classes, sports and after school clubs. So, in addition to your comments, I belong in a "prison" and am a bad students, just like all the others? The students in my classes are just as active as me. I think you should think about the entire school. There are always articles about the good, but you seem to be focusing on the bad. Not everyone is bad. A few rotten apples does not make the tree or other apples bad also. "

another teacher wrote on Aug 25, 2008 6:49 PM:

" We have intelligent and talented students at Buena. They make every day a pleasure to be a teacher. However, like any other community with 2,800 residents, we have our problems. Be part of the solution and support positive behavior and involvement, and support discipline and understand that we are not picking on your child. We are only protecting the other students. Ms. Grady needs to find another line of work in which she does not gossip about things she knows nothing about. Unless she can be specific, she needs to remain mum. "

Another high school wrote on Aug 25, 2008 3:47 PM:

" Mayor, we need a second high school. Also, why are there cops at the school? We never had cops in the school when I was a kid. Whats so different now...lack of parenting? Cops really don't know how to deal with kids and they carry guns. Since the schools pay for the cops, maybe the school should spend money where it does some good, psychologists, therapists and hire their own security instead. The schools ought to be gun free. "

Brian wrote on Aug 25, 2008 1:03 PM:

" azdave your perception of homeschooling is baseless. Homeschooling does not restrict learning options, in fact there are more opportunites for non-classroom academic activities; social development is not shackled, there are plenty of activites-community youth sports, scouting, church related activies. There are myriad of homeschooling programs to choose from, and a parent doesn't have to be a SME in all topics if the right program is chosen. Studies show that homeschoolers academically out perform govt schooled children. Govt schools proved physically unsafe for our children, and homeschooling, done right, does not isolate children, it gives greater opportunity to succeed. "

" ok everyone on here is mostly parents but then you guys act it is the schools fault the kids have drugs think where did they have it first it was at your homes. just because kids have it at school does not mean your kid will if you are confident enough you raised your kid good enough then why are you to blame the 3rd highest testing school. Do your research please before you decide to send them to a school that wont challenge your kids. "

another buena student wrote on Aug 24, 2008 11:59 AM:

" Buena isn't a bad school. You wouldn't realize it on the outside looking in. Get your kid involved in a sport. that's all they need to do to be a good student at buena, because the sports programs are amazing. Also, the politics of buena are that if another high school is built, then the school goes down in divisions, instead of 5A we become a 3A.no athletes or coaches want that. PARENTS: dont be ignorant. you guys act like if your child goes to buena he'll automatically be hooked on drugs.no. Only if your child has no goals "

azdave wrote on Aug 24, 2008 10:54 AM:

" To New SV Resident: So when your son goes to college as one of twenty or forty thousand students he won't be overwhelmed, right? Home schooling might be a viable option if you think you're intelligent enough, broadly educated enough, and focused enough to provide a better quality education than the school system is able to, but choosing home schooling simply to protect your son from the masses does him no favors. You risk restricting his learning options, as well as shackling social development he may need later when he joins the big bad world. "

New SV Resident wrote on Aug 24, 2008 9:28 AM:

" I have a son in middle school, so I've been asking various people (former students, teachers, other parents, casual acquaintances) about their experiences with Buena H.S. Again and again I've been warned against sending my son there when he's ready for high school. The general concensus seems to be that there are too many students and that Sierra Vista desperately needs another high school. The more I learn about Buena H.S., the more determined I am to find an alternative for my son, even if it means homeschooling him. "

azdave wrote on Aug 23, 2008 4:15 PM:

" Portraying these events as seven separate school-related incidents is stupid anyway. Two incidents that are relevant to students in school is more like it ... the assault on the girl and a group of three dopers who got caught together carrying and/or dealing. I'm not sure why the school should be blamed for a disorderly 47 year old, a theft in a huge outdoor parking lot that could have just as easily occurred in a church parking lot, and a traffic accident just off campus that could have happened to anyone. Crummy reporting. "

azdave wrote on Aug 23, 2008 4:04 PM:

" Get a grip, people ... parents breed and raise outlaws, not schools. Buena is no worse than any large high school, including Tombstone. My son attends Buena, participates in various activities, and easily manages to stay out of trouble. The four relevant incidents described here are the result of violators getting caught and suffering consequences, which at least vouches for the ability of the administration to accomplish something the parents of those violators are apparently unable or unwilling to do. "

SV Resident wrote on Aug 23, 2008 9:05 AM:

" This happens at all schools even the good ones i.e Catalina Foothills, Ironwood Ridge etc. Out of 2900 students at Buena there were 7 incidents. Do the percentage people. The school is in a lose lose situation. Crack down on misbehavior and rules, it gets in the paper and the town goes wild with comments. Ignore the rules, students get away with anything, school gets out of control. "

Not so shocked wrote on Aug 23, 2008 5:36 AM:

" My hat is off to *teacher* for being part of the solution and not just whining about the problems. It is too easy to blame administrators and teachers who are in the trenches day in and day out. I do not have children in Buena, but I do understand that schools are a reflection of the society that they serve. So if you don't like Buena, get involved and make a difference. "

Mother of a BHS student wrote on Aug 22, 2008 10:44 PM:

" Good thing it was caught. Wake up ALL school districts. At one time the schools did allow K-9s to do random checks...this would be wise to have again and at least control some of the drug activity. This will also put some righteous fear into the kids who don't respect any type of authority, and at the same time establish some type of law dominion in the schools. "

Buena student wrote on Aug 22, 2008 8:52 PM:

" Please calm down. barely anybody in the school new about the incidences. some kids are just stupid and its not because its the kids fault it has to do to the fact that they werent raised right. all of you all are too judgemental. you know nothing of the school because you care nothing for it. apparently your arrogance and ignorance shows in your comments. please if you know nothing then it is wiser not to speak. thank you.

What wrote on Aug 22, 2008 11:00 AM:

" How can anyone say that misbehavior is not tolerated at Buena High School? Having worked at Buena it was very apparent the disregared for rules was an everyday occurence. Cell phones, ipods, walkmans, hats, gang colors and a general disregard for teachers directions was the norm not the exception. I have only been gone from the school for 2 years and none of this surprises me. What Buena needs is a change in the administration, along with having a superindentent backing it school's policies. "

Amanda wrote on Aug 22, 2008 10:11 AM:

" I'm glad to see most of the posters here know the REALITY that is Buena High School. Sure SOME teachers don't tolerate misbehavior, but many just ignore it. Face it, many hate their jobs and go in, do their time and get out! Buena has been and probably will always be a total crapshoot unless this new superintendent really makes some changes. "

teacher wrote on Aug 22, 2008 8:25 AM:

" Those of you who are concerned might view this in a positive way: we don't tolerate misbehavior here. Students who violate the rules are held accountable. Students are safe. Note that action was immediately taken. We reflect society; we are not unique in having students (AND parents)who violate laws, but we do act quickly and decisively. We have kids a relatively small proportion of the day and they come to us with years of family influence and standards that form their characters and values. Most of our kids are splendid. Some are not. "

Buena mom wrote on Aug 22, 2008 8:04 AM:

" Buena is not like it is being portrayed. I was worried sending my children there, but like my oldest told me, if you hang around the druggies and the gangs, then you'll get in trouble. All high schools have problems, its just when I went to school if you were high, or there was fight, you were sent home, the police were not called. "

Its both the school and parents wrote on Aug 22, 2008 7:32 AM:

" So Buena could do a little more for negative punishments. In-school suspension and banning from extra-curriculars sure. Unfortunately schools are at the mercy of sueing parents crying lawsuit and sometimes discrimination. Parents have a hand here, too. They *should* know what's going on at the school. There's no way a parent doesn't have ANY clue his child might be doing drugs unless they don't involve themselves. Just because your child hasn't been in trouble yet doesn't mean you shouldn't involve yourself to make sure he doesn't. "

Buena has always had problems wrote on Aug 22, 2008 6:39 AM:

" Part of the problem is Buena was too small the day it opened. The highly achieving, motivated students do well. The special needs students have programs to help them, and the middle-of-the-road students with strong parental involvement do well. It's the ok students with little parental involvement who get involved with drugs, alcohol, and sex that create the "issues." Even though I was an involved parent, I was also a single parent so I did not send my child to Buena. Turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made! "

Iv been watching wrote on Aug 22, 2008 5:16 AM:

" The students are in charge at Buena High School. This is not new news. The school has been out of control for at least 3 years now. The cost to tax payers is out of control. Every time there is an incident,the school has to pay it's employees for time not teaching. Parents, Mr. Bloss, Mr. New Superintendent, Police Chief, New Chief Probation Officer (Delcy Scull),and Superior Court Juvenile Judge(Ann Latrel), what are you going to do about this mess. Shouldn't the Wrap Around concept be considered here? Bring this problem to an end now! "

Or, how about in school suspension, instead of suspension at home, where they can do whatever, atleast while their parents are at work. In school suspension, where they sit in an area at the office or councelors office, and do homework or classwork,have lunch by themselves, not with friends. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!! "

" This is crazy!!! When I was in highschool (only 13 yrs ago) I was scared of getting in trouble. I wasn't a perfect student. The teachers were so strict, noone got away with anything. But, I think now Teachers are afraid to say or do anything, because of law suits, or whatever. Kids today, do whatever they want. I don't totally blame the parents, because I don't think they know what's going on. When need to be stronger. I am so scared for my kids to go the Buena,and that's not right. "

close observer wrote on Aug 21, 2008 3:58 PM:

" What many of you people fail to realize, is that you are reading about less than 1% of Buena's student population. Just like everything in the media, it's typically the negative that is published and gets all of the attention. Take a look at the 99% of Buena students who are doing good things. If you can't trust you kid to do the right thing, the problems is your's, not the schools. "

Thankfully we have a few years until our kids reach high school age but if we cannot reestablish control at that school, we will have to say farewell. I know there are some great people over there struggling to do the best the can with inadequate resources, but sadly, they are loosing the battle. "
