The Board of Education recognizes that the use
of illegal substances, steroids and other performance-enhancing
supplements presents a serious health and safety hazard. As
part of the District's drug prevention and intervention efforts,
staff shall make every effort to ensure that students do not begin
or continue the use of controlled substances.
The superintendent or his designee shall establish
and implement administrative guidelines and operating
procedures relating to a districtwide Substance
Abuse Education Program. This educational program
shall be developed in conjunction with guidelines
approved by the State Board of Education and offered
as a comprehensive program of experiences designed to
meet the needs of individual students.
Students participating in interscholastic
athletics are prohibited from using steroids or any other
performance-enhancing drugs identified by the NCAA.
A student who is found to have violated this
policy shall be restricted from participating in co-curricular
activities and shall be subject to disciplinary procedures,
including, but not limited to, suspension or expulsion in accordance
with the law, Board policy, and administrative regulation.
