The Board of Education, recognizing health hazards associated with smoking, and in accordance with federal and state law, prohibits smoking or other tobacco use in all school buildings, on school property or at any school-sponsored event.
In accordance with state and federal law, faculty and staff will be permitted to smoke only in designated smoking areas during non-school ours when no school-sponsored activity is taking place.
The Superintendent of Schools will have copies of this policy prominently posted in the workplace. In addition, the Superintendent designates the Assistant Superintendent of Schools as agent responsible for informing individuals smoking in a non-smoking area that they are in violation of Article 13 of the Public Health Law and/or federal Pro-Children Act of 1994.
It is sincerely hoped that all faculty and staff will refrain from smoking or other tobacco use for their own benefit.
