1422.01 - DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE

The Board of Education 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 is not tainted by the use or evidence of use of any controlled substance.

The Board shall not permit the manufacture, possession, use, distribution, or dispensing of any controlled substance, alcohol, and any drug paraphernalia, by any member of the District's administration at any time while on District property or while involved in any District‑related activity or event. Any administrator who violates this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with District guidelines.

The Superintendent shall establish guidelines that ensure compliance with this policy and that each administrator is given a copy of the standards regarding unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol and informed that compliance with this requirement is mandatory. Such guidelines shall provide for appropriate disciplinary actions, if and when needed.
