Social Probation • Social probation means that a student may not attend or participate in any volunteer school sponsored or related function or activity. This includes, but is not limited to, clubs, athletics, competitions, dances, trips, banquets, and graduation. • Offenses for which Social Probation may be assigned: 1. Violation of the alcohol and activities regulation. 2. Violation of the drug regulations. 3. Any violation of the Discipline Code. 4. Repeated offenses resulting in three or more Saturday Schools and/or Out-of-School Suspensions. 5. Disruption or disturbance of any school sponsored activity or public assembly. 6. Any action that threatens safety and security or disrupts the school environment not listed herein, which the administrator deems appropriate for social probation. 7. A student who is under Out-of-School suspension is automatically under social probation from the moment it is assigned by the administration until the morning of the return date or date assigned by the administrator. 8. Seniors are reminded that Social Probation may include senior activities such as senior trips, Senior Awards Night, and Graduation. • Social Probation may carry over to the following school year. Smoking/Tobacco Products The faculty and staff of B.H.S. are committed to providing the students with a smoke-free environment. This policy hopefully will serve as a deterrent to those students who presently smoke. Additionally, an educational component is available to all students who are interested in learning about the dangers of smoking or needing assistance in stopping the use of tobacco products. The educational component is not an option for those students that accumulate two tobacco infractions. • In conjunction with the Board of Health, the Braintree Public Schools has developed the following policy as it relates to the use or possession of tobacco products. • The Braintree Public Schools prohibit the use and/or possession of tobacco products in school buildings, facilities, school buses, on school grounds, and at school sponsored functions. Administrators will notify the parent or legal guardian and sports and activity directors of each infraction; mandate the confiscation of tobacco products; and require tobacco cessation programs • It is important to understand that being in possession of tobacco products, i.e., cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco or any other form of tobacco are subject to confiscation and considered an infraction under the policy. Administrators will return the confiscated tobacco product to the violator’s parent or legal guardian upon request. • In addition, all students must realize that an obvious display of tobacco products indicates to the administration the intent to violate the state law prohibiting smoking in public buildings. • Students found in the presence of the use of tobacco products may be subjected to search and seizure. If in possession of tobacco products, students will be disciplined by the conditions stated in the tobacco policy. • Students congregating in the presence of cigarette smoke will be viewed as “guilty of smoking” under this policy. Therefore, it is strongly suggested that students who do not smoke should not be present where students are smoking. • As a result of being in violation of the State Education Reform Law, State Fire Department Regulations, Braintree Board of Health Regulations, as well as town by-laws pertaining to Fire Prevention Regulations, students will be issued a citation by school administrators and must pay the imposed fine at the office of the Board of Health within 14 days or they may contest the fine by requesting in writing a hearing in front of the Board of Health within 7 days after the citation has been served; if necessary, the board will bring action to the court of jurisdiction. • Braintree school officials have been designated by the Braintree Board of Health to be their agents for this purpose and shall be responsible for the enforcement of this regulation. 68
