BOARD POLICY RELATIVE TO DRUG AND ALCOHOL EDUCATION
AND PREVENTION PROGRAM OF THE DISTRICT
PURSUANT TO P.L. 101-226 AND 34 C.F.R., PART 86
It shall be the policy of Holt County School
District No. 21 to provide age appropriate, developmentally based drug
and alcohol education and prevention programs for all students of the
schools. It shall be the policy of the District to require
instruction at each grade level concerning the adverse effects
resulting from the use of illicit drugs and alcohol. Such
instruction shall be designed by affected classroom teachers or as
otherwise directed by the board to be appropriate to the age of the
student exposed to such instruction. Such instruction should be
described in any curriculum guides of the District and should have as
one of its primary objectives preventing the use of illicit drugs and
alcohol by such students. It shall further be the policy of the
District to encourage the use of outside resource personnel such as law
enforcement officers, medical personnel, and experts on the subject of
drug and alcohol abuse, so that its economic, social, educational, and
physiological consequences may be made known to the students of the
district.
It shall further be the policy of the district
(through the instruction earlier herein referred to as well as by
information and consistent enforcement of the board's policy pertaining
to student conduct as it relates to the use of illicit drugs and the
unlawful possession and use of alcohol) that drug and alcohol abuse is
wrong and is harmful both to the student and the District, and its
educational programs.
