2020 – 2021 School Year Mr. Jared Prince - ASB Activities Coordinator

Mr. Robert Marshall – Athletics & Activities Asst. Principal

North Kitsap High School Drug/Alcohol Policy

ASB Executive Officers and Senators Philosophy and Purpose: The Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) and the North Kitsap School District (NKSD) recognize the use of mood-altering chemicals as a significant health problem for many adolescents, resulting in negative effects on behavior, learning, and the total development of each individual. The misuse and abuse of mood-altering chemicals for some adolescents affects co-curricular participation and the development of related skills. Executive officers and senators are strongly advised against attending social functions in which there are alcohol and controlled substances present. They have 30 minutes to vacate the area ensuring that their friends and acquaintances are safe. They are officials that represent the school and the students of NKHS, so they are expected to be appropriate positive role models. ASNK Bylaw: Article III,Section II,Clause II and Article III, Section VI, Clause 8 During the school year, regardless of quantity, an Executive Officer or Senator shall not: (1) consume a beverage containing alcohol; (2) use tobacco; (3) use or consume, have in possession, buy, sell or give away any other controlled substances (including steroids); (4) possess drug paraphernalia: A. This rule applies for the entire length of the term of office that begins as soon as the student is elected and ends the last day of school at the end of the term. B. It is not a violation for a student to be in possession of a controlled Substance specifically prescribed for the student’s own use by her/his Doctor. The medication must be on file in the school’s main office (NK School Board Policy 3416). CONSEQUENCES FOR ASB OFFICER’S CODE VIOLATIONS: A. FIRST VIOLATION Executive Officer or Senator may possibly be removed from office and stripped of Title. By signing below, I admit to reading and discussing this policy with my parents/guardians and agree to uphold its contents as an official of NKHS. I understand that policy becomes effective from date of signing. ______________________________________ __________________________________ ASNK Officer’s Signature Date Parent/Guardian Signature Date ______________________________________ ASB Coordinator’s Signature Date
