NOTICE TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS REGARDING DRUG-FREE SCHOOLS The Blanco Independent School District believes that student use of alcohol and illicit drugs is both wrong and harmful. Consequently, the district has established a code of student conduct that prohibits the use, sale, possession, and distribution of alcohol, illicit drugs, and drug paraphernalia, by students on school premises or as part of any school activity, regardless of its location. Compliance with this code of conduct is mandatory, and students shall be disciplined if they are found to have violated this code of conduct. The District's policies and its Discipline Management Plan provide a range of disciplinary sanctions for alcohol and drugrelated offenses. Students may be suspended for up to three school days or expelled for a period of time not to exceed one calendar year; in addition, they may be referred to appropriate law enforcement officials for criminal prosecution. Procedural requirements for the imposition of suspension and expulsion are set out in the district's policies at FOA, FOA(L), FOD, and FOD(L). The principal of your school will be glad to provide you access to or a copy of these policies. Depending on the nature and severity of a drug or alcohol-related offense, a student may be required to complete an appropriate rehabilitation program either in lieu of or in addition to other school discipline. The principal or counselor of your school can provide you with information about rehabilitation and re-entry programs that are available in our community or within reasonable access of our community. "My child and I have read the district's notice regarding drug-free schools and understand that my child will be subject to school discipline and possibly to criminal prosecution if he/she is found to have violated the district's code of student conduct, which prohibits the use, possession, sale, or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol on school premises or at any school activity."

STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE

I understand that Blanco ISD is not responsible for payment of any medical expenses associated with a student’s injury, and I have been made aware of the optional, low-cost accident insurance that the district makes available for parents. Blanco ISD does provide student accident insurance for students participating in any school sponsored UIL event in grades 7-12.
