Frisco ISD implements new state-mandated vaping policy
A new state vaping law could place Frisco ISD students who violate it in the district’s alternative school. The updated policy, found in the 2023-24 school year student code of conduct, has the district in compliance with new state laws regarding e-ciga- rette use, also known as vaping, by students. “We are sure that this is going to be a significant change for our families and our students,” said Paige Hoes, FISD’S managing director of secondary
subject to a mandatory 10-day placement in the program. Students attending the program are prohibited from: • Attending school-sponsored events • Participating in athletics or extracurricular activities • Entering district property other than the center If the alternative school is at capacity, then students will be given in-school-suspension before being transferred. The district’s center can hold 120 students, but it may be less depending on staffing. Also of note Hoes said the district added a section on mar- ijuana products to the 2023-24 student code of conduct. Students will be placed in the program if found using, possessing or under the influence of products containing hemp, CBD or THC.
