DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY AND AWARENESS
PROGRAM
It is the responsibility of the Clermont Governing Board of Educational
Service Center to establish a drug-free workplace. Drug or alcohol abuse
in the workplace is dangerous and can lead to harm to not only the person
abusing drugs or alcohol but also to fellow employees and students.
No employee shall unlawfully manufacture, distribute, dispense or possess
or use any narcotic drug, hallucinogenic drug, amphetamine, barbiturate,
marijuana, alcohol or any other controlled substance as defined in Federal
and State law, in the workplace.
"Workplace" is the site for the performance of any work done in connection
with the Clermont Governing Board of Educational Service Center. The
workplace includes any school building, school property, school-owed
vehicles or school-approved vehicle used to transport students to and from
school or school activities (at other sites off school property) or any
school-sponsored or school related activity, event or function, such as a
field trip or athletic event in which students are under the jurisdiction
of the school authorities.
For these reasons, the Clermont Governing Board of Educational Service
Center is committed to maintaining a drug-free workplace, and will enforce
a policy requiring all employees to refrain from use, sale, purchase,
possession or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the
job, on school premises, or on or while using school equipment. Employees
who fail to comply with this policy will be subject to discipline, up to
and including termination from employment.
Any employee convicted of an offense under a criminal drug statute must
report his/her conviction to the administration no later than five working
days after the conviction. Failure to do so will result in discipline up
to and including termination from employment.
The Governing Board of Education does not maintain a drug/alcohol
rehabilitation program, but the following are programs within the
community available to employees who need help with a drug or alcohol
problem:
