The Board of Education recognizes that the use of tobacco presents a health hazard which can have serious consequences both for the user and the nonuser and is, therefore, of concern to the Board.

For purposes of this policy, "use of tobacco" shall mean all uses of tobacco, including a cigar, cigarette, pipe, snuff, or any other matter or substances that contain tobacco.

The Board prohibits the use of tobacco by professional staff members in District buildings, on District buses, and at any District-related event with the exception that tobacco may be used in designated outdoor areas on school property on Saturdays, Sundays, and after 6 p.m. on days during which there are regularly-scheduled school hours.
