The Board recognizes that substance abuse in our nation and our community exacts staggering costs in both human and economic terms. Substance abuse causes impaired job performance, lost productivity, absenteeism, accidents, wasted materials, lowered morale, higher health care costs, and diminished interpersonal relationship skills. The Board commits to create and maintain a drug-free workplace.

The use of illegal drugs, the abuse of alcohol, and the misuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs are unacceptable. The Board shall clearly communicate this message to its support staff. Refer to appropriate procedure.
