| | Use of Tobacco on School Premises The Board of Education believes the right of persons to use tobacco must be balanced against the right of those who do not use tobacco to breathe air untainted by tobacco.
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 premises (high School, middle school, elementary buildings, bus garage, maintenance building, athletic complexes, Board of Education Center, home tech projects, parking lots) or in district vehicles. Regardless of time of day or time of the school year, 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
For the purpose of the policy, "use of tobacco" means a cigar, cigarette, smokeless tobacco, or pipe, or any other matter or substance that contain tobacco.
