S.W.A.T. (Spring & Winter Action Tours) SWAT condones drug/alcohol use for high school sponsored trips! Costa Mesa California
We mistakenly signed up our son to participate in a S.W.A.T. ski trip to Utah. This company has the appearance of providing a well-chaperoned high school related function. Our sons school perpetuated the trip through student activities. Their flyers and web site gives the facade of legitimacy. DO NOT be fooled into a false sense of security!
I happen to teach at another high school in the neighboring community. When I inquired of my students if our school does these SWAT trips they almost in unison started laughing. Every student said those trips are for stoners (kids that like to party). Sadly this information came after the fact.
We arrived at the school at approximately 5:00 AM. The bus was very late and showed up after picking up students from another high school. They had to completely unload the bus; kids, suitcases and s****..

I am not saying that your report did happen or that it did not happen. But there are several questions that make it seem as if there it is at least some "enhancements" to the story. First your son calls you from the bus saying that they are doing drugs. Did you call the office and inform them? Did you even call the parents of your son's friend? How about hopping in a car and getting him out of this situation? One quick call to the Highway Patrol in CA, NV or UT would have put a quick stop to this "party bus". You said that everybody was doing drugs except your son and his friend. It is good that your son resisted temptation, but where was YOUR responsibility in stopping something you knew was going on. Since you are a teacher, isn't it against the law for you to NOT report something like this. Perhaps this is why you haven't taken the logical step of taking them to Small Claims Court. Did you call the hotel about this "drunk room". No Hotel would want the liability in the legal action that would come down on them. Did you call the police in the city?
