COMMUNITY RELATIONS USE OF TOBACCO ON SCHOOL PROPERTY

The board of directors recognizes that to protect students from exposure to the addictive substance of nicotine, employees and officers of the school district, and all members of the community, have an obligation as role models to refrain from tobacco use on school property.

Smoking or any other use of tobacco products shall be prohibited on school district property. This shall include all district buildings, grounds and district-owned vehicles.

Notices advising district employees, students and patrons of this policy shall be posted in appropriate locations in all district buildings and at other district facilities as determined by the superintendent. Employee and student handbooks shall include notice that using tobacco on school property is prohibited. Employees and students are subject to discipline for violations of this policy, and school district employees are responsible for the enforcement of the policy
