Policy 502 - Drug-Free Workplace
Adopted on June 18, 2019
Effective July 1, 2019
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.
In compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988, the Board prohibits the manufacture, possession, use, distribution, or dispensing of any controlled substance, including alcohol, or any drug paraphernalia as the term is defined by law by any member of the County School System's employee at any time while on School System property or while involved in any school or Board-related activity or event. Any employee who violates this policy shall be subject to disciplinary action.
The Superintendent shall establish whatever programs and procedures are necessary to meet the Federal certification requirements.
The Superintendent shall establish guidelines that ensure compliance with this policy and that each staff member is given a copy of the standards regarding unlawful possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by staff and informed that compliance with this requirement is mandatory.
