Marijuana use in Colorado schools still unclear, prevention on the rise
Grants, using pot revenues, aimed at school health professionals
Two years after recreational marijuana was legalized in Colorado, school officials still don't know if more kids are using or bringing the drug to schools.
Educators say not much has changed since legalization, and the data tracking drug use, when available, are unlikely to have a big impact.
But schools are encouraged by grants — funded by a portion of the state's marijuana tax revenue — that provide more health professionals in schools to support drug education and prevention programs.
