The Governing Board believes that the use of alcohol or other drugs adversely affects a student’s ability to achieve academic success, if physically and emotionally harmful, and has serious social and legal consequences. Furthermore, the Governing Board recognizes the health hazards associated with smoking and the use of tobacco products, including the breathing of second-hand smoke. The Governing Board desires to keep Julian Charter School, Inc.
