The areas were closed in Tri-Creek, Lake Central and Ross Township School corpora¬ tion districts. The student smoking area is still open at Hanover Central High School, while Superinten¬ dent Richard Davis awaits information from the juvenile division of the sheriffs office and discussion with his school board.
