What this means

Bloubergrant High School's 2018–2019 Drug-Alcohol Policy mandates a drug- and alcohol-free environment, requiring students and parents to sign an agreement acknowledging the policy. The policy outlines procedures for handling substance use, including interviews, parental notification, urine testing, referral to treatment, and potential disciplinary actions such as expulsion or reporting to police. The school emphasizes confidentiality and support for learners seeking help with addiction, with treatment costs borne by families unless state facilities are accessed. The policy applies to all school-related activities and locations.
