Board Bans Use of Tobacco on School Property

The Bendle Board of Education (recognizing the fact that medical research has documented that secondary smoke is detrimental to the health of nonsmokers) has revised the policy on the use of tobacco on school property.  The Bendle Board of Education recognizes its responsibility to provide a safe and healthy environment for students, employees and all community members accessing Bendle school facilities.  Consequently, the Bendle Board of Education has banned the use of all tobacco products on Bendle Public School Property effective March 1, 2005.  Violation of this policy is a misdemeanor and may result in the issuance of a ticket by the Burton Police.  This policy applies to any person accessing Bendle Public School property.
