Instruction
Drugs, Tobacco, Alcohol
Because use of these harmful agents has a deleterious effect on the health and welfare of the users, and far-reaching detrimental consequences to users, families, and society, efforts shall be made by staff members to reduce student use of such harmful drugs, tobacco and alcohol.
The professional staff shall be provided information and skills to acquaint them with problems of drug, tobacco, and alcohol use and in recognition of the symptoms of such use. At least annually, and as other opportunities arise, teachers in each grade shall emphasize the effect of alcohol, nicotine, tobacco and drugs on health, character, citizenship, and personality development in health education programs and other contexts.
The Superintendent shall make use of in-service training sessions for both certified and non-certified staff to achieve the goals of this policy. Full cooperation with community agencies shall be given wherever such cooperation is advantageous to students.
