DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO
All buildings that are part of the Frederick County Public School (FCPS)
system are drug-free school zones and are subject to current FCPS policies and
regulations. Signs reminding the public of that fact are posted on school
property. FCPS is also a smoke-free environment.
Students shall not possess, use, be under the influence of, attempt to distribute,
or distribute drugs, drug paraphernalia, look-alike drugs, or alcohol on school
property, in school buses, or while engaged in any school activity. The school
system shall take the appropriate disciplinary action against a student who
violates the standards of conduct set forth in this policy up to and including
suspension and expulsion and referral for prosecution. Students and parents
will be informed about any drug and alcohol counseling and rehabilitation and
re-entry programs that are available to students.
The use, sale, or distribution of creatine or any other muscle enhancer is
prohibited at WHS. Any student violating this policy will be referred to an
administrator with consequences.
Students shall not use or possess tobacco products on school property, in school
buses and at any school-related or school-sponsored events. Students found in
possession of or using tobacco products will be referred to the Frederick
County Health Department for a Tobacco Education Program for their first
offense. A mandatory parent conference with an administrator is also required.
Subsequent offenses will result in a citation by the Student Resources Officer
and disciplinary action for continued willful disobedience.
Alcohol, drug and tobacco use are extremely serious offenses and have
additional disciplinary consequences for student athletes and student leaders as
outlined in FCPS regulations 400-8 and 400-86.
