In order to promote the general health, welfare, and well-being of staff and students, the Board of Education is committed to establishing the Littleton Public Schools as a tobacco-free school district. Effective January 1, 1991, smoking, chewing, or other use of tobacco products by staff, students, and members of the public shall be banned from all District buildings. All forms of tobacco use shall be prohibited on all District property, effective August 1, 1991.

The Board directs administrators in charge of District facilities to involve staff and, as appropriate, community members and students to develop site-based processes to achieve tobacco-free buildings and properties on or before the effective dates of these restrictions. Prior to implementation of tobacco bans at each site, staff members shall be allowed to smoke only in areas specifically designated for this purpose by the building principal or other person in charge of a building’s physical facilities. Such designated areas shall fully comply with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.
