The manufacturing, sale, purchase, transportation, possession, consumption, use, storage, or distribution of drugs (including marijuana/cannabis), alcohol, and other similar chemical substances on school grounds, at school activities, or on district-provided transportation is prohibited. For purposes of student conduct expectations:

• This section applies to any controlled substance, medication, stimulant, depressant, or mood-altering compound, including simulated compounds intended to produce intoxication or euphoria, whether or not such compounds have been designated a controlled substance by state or federal law;

• This section applies to marijuana or substances containing marijuana;

• This section applies to legally-prescribed drugs which a student is nevertheless not lawfully authorized to possess or distribute on school grounds, at school activities, or on district-provided transportation;

• This section applies to students who enter school grounds, school activities, or district-provided transportation following the unlawful use or consumption of drugs, alcohol, and other similar chemical substances, including students who appear to be under the influence of such substances; and

• This section applies equally to the possession or use of paraphernalia or other items used to possess, consume, store, or distribute drugs, alcohol, and/or other illegal chemical substances, including marijuana or substances containing marijuana.

Any students found in the same area as students using alcoholic beverages and/or drugs may be subject to the same discipline as students in possession.

If any school employee suspects a student to be under the influence of intoxicants they should request administration to conduct an investigation. Law enforcement will be notified whenever there is an incident involving alcohol and/or drugs. Students faced with a disciplinary action for drug related offenses will have a meeting with their building administrator, parent, and, if possible, the Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) before returning to regularly scheduled classes or school-based activities.
