Tobacco Free Workplace

ADM 41.0

All schools are committed to providing a tobacco free work environment for students and employees.  Schools prohibit the sale and use of any form of tobacco in school buildings and school vehicles, whether or not students are present.  Furthermore, school employees are prohibited from smoking inside or outside of any school buildings at any time or at any school sponsored event.

Purpose:

• To model healthy behavior.

Commentary/Procedural Points:

• Employees and guests of the school participating in school sponsored events are expected to abide by the rules and regulations of the host facility.  However, in no case may a school employee use a tobacco product in the presence of students.

• Outside groups that request the use of a school building will be informed of this policy through the rules and procedures on Application for 3rd Party Use.
