The Governing Board believes that quality education is not possible in an environment affected by drugs. It will seek, therefore, to establish and maintain an educational setting which meets the requirements in the Drug-Free Workplace Act.

In compliance with the Act, the Board prohibits the manufacture, possession, use, distribution, or dispensing of any controlled substance, including alcohol, by any member of the Center's classified staff at any time while on Center property or while involved in any Center-related activity or event. Any staff member who violates this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with Center guidelines and the terms of collective bargaining agreements.

The Superintendent shall establish whatever programs and procedures are necessary to meet the Federal certification requirements but which also comply or do not interfere with collectively-bargained agreements.
