Police: Teen Hospitalized After Drinking Before School Dance

An ambulance was called for a 15-year-old student at during a dance last Friday night, according to Southampton Police, who reported that the student had been drinking alcohol prior to the event.

Police say the student fell at the dance and that's when school officials called 911 and the student's father. 

The student, who admitted to drinking alcohol before attending the dance at the high school, was taken to Southampton Hospital.

School Superintendent Lars Clemensen said that as a school policy the district does not comment on disciplinary matters involving students unless they are "extreme events."

He said, "Our staff, like all schools, deals with student discipline matters on a daily basis, which are, for reasons, confidential.  Students who violate the code of conduct are subject to discipline, but we do not typically identify or comment upon individual student discipline matters."
