MONROE, CT Local police are investigating the discovery last week of a vial of powdered cocaine at Monroe Elementary School.
The vial was found by a staff member in a third grade classroom, and Monroe police were notified about the discovery immediately, according to School Superintendent Joe Kobza. Preliminary testing of the substance revealed it was cocaine. We immediately turned the situation over to the police department which, in turn, initiated an investigation, including a canine search of the room while the children were outside, Kobza wrote in a letter to parents, a copy of which was obtained by Patch.
