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.

In order to protect students and employees who choose not to use tobacco from an environment noxious to them and potentially damaging to their health, the Board prohibits the use of tobacco on District premises, in District vehicles, and in all school buildings owned and/or operated by the District.

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

The Board prohibits the use of tobacco by support staff members in District buildings, on District buses, and at any District-related event.
