In Accordance with Board Policy 7434 - USE OF TOBACCO ON SCHOOL PREMISES

The Board of Education is committed to providing students, staff, and visitors with an all district tobacco-free environment. The negative health effects of tobacco use for both users and nonusers, particularly in connection with second hand smoke, are well established. Further, providing an all district tobacco-free environment at all times is consistent with the role-modeling responsibilities of teachers and staff to our students.  The James A. Garfield students, staff, and community appreciate that EVERYONE respects that the JA Garfield School is a total 100% tobacco free campus.  This is for our students.
