Beyond Vape Detection with Tom McDermott
Episode 2368
Friday, 24 July, 2026
In this episode, Tom McDermott, K–12 Safety and Security Coach for CEIA USA, discusses why student vaping has evolved from a discipline issue into a broader leadership challenge for schools. Rather than focusing solely on detection technologies, the conversation explores how school leaders can shift from reacting to incidents toward building a comprehensive prevention strategy grounded in school culture, behavioral health, and student well-being.Together, they examine the hidden operational costs of vaping, why understanding the root causes matters more than simply catching students, and how schools can balance prevention, intervention, and detection to create safer, healthier learning environments.
