The school district is not naming the school or the third-party organization.

Cowichan Valley School District staff said while it does support harm reduction, the “materials” left behind do not meet the threshold for teachings appropriate for students.

“As a result of this incident, we are undertaking a full investigation as well as a review of applicable policies and APs regarding third-party presentations and materials,” staff said in a tweet.

“We apologize to our community.”
