To promote the health and safety of all students and staff, and to promote the cleanliness of all facilities, the Carthage R-IX School District bans the use of all tobacco products and the use of substances appearing to be tobacco products, including, but not limited to, e-cigarettes in all school facilities, buildings, and school buses at all times.
This ban extends to all employees, students, and patrons attending school-sponsored athletic events and meetings. The Board issues this ban in a sincere appeal to all employees, students, and patrons to cooperate in helping to create within our facilities a truly healthy environment for all concerned.
