There are a variety of benefits
that your school district will experience when you make the decision to go
100% tobacco-free. However, it’s important to remember that policy change
takes time and it won’t happen overnight. For starters, you will need to
build support for your policy in the community. You will need to draft a
policy that works for your district, and you will need to present the policy
to the school board for approval.
The Delaware General Health District can assist you in the steps leading up
to your 100% Tobacco-Free School Policy change. For more information,
