During the July 14th regular scheduled meeting, the JC Board of Education approved revisions to Policy Code 4304: Code of Student Conduct.

There was special attention to Section F. 36, which provides governance for the "Possession, Display, Use, Sale or Distribution of Vapes".

Revisions define vapes and expresses that there will be a 10-day suspension for any student in violation of the code.

We strongly encourage parents to speak with your child(ren) regarding the details of the policy and the consequences moving forward.

Please know that the Johnston County Board of Education strives to mitigate health and safety concerns related to harmful substances such as tobacco products and/or vapes. The revised verbiage and the associated penalties have been set to achieve this goal.
