Tobacco-Free is the key at HFM
BOCES
Revised HFM BOCES policy goes well beyond no smoking rule
HFM
BOCES Comprehensive Tobacco Policy—developed
and adopted for the 2009-10 school year—not
only prohibits smoking in school and on school grounds,
but extends the prohibition to include possession of any
type of tobacco product, related paraphernalia such as
lighters, matches and rolling papers, or any kind of
tobacco-related promotional items.
That means that
clothing, school supplies, personal gear and accessories that
carry a tobacco brand or in any way promote the use of tobacco
products are not allowed on school grounds or at any
school-related function. The policy remains in effect at all
times, 24-hours a day, at all school activities on campus and
off.
