14.0 Vandalism

The Great Plains Technology Center Board of Education may prosecute to the full extent of the law any individual who willfully destroys, mutilates, or disfigures public school property of any kind. State law makes parents responsible for the willful destruction of property by their children.

15.0 Drug Free Statement 

Using alcohol and other drugs carries risks, Alcohol and drugs impair your judgment, making you more likely to hurt yourself or others, to have trouble with the law, to do poorly at work and school, and to have relationship trouble. Alcohol and drugs also have specific health risks: They can damage major organs, increase your risk of cancers, and even cause death.

Drug and alcohol abuse treatment can be located using the National Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Agency NATIONAL HELPLINE – 1-800-622-HELP (4357) or FindTreatment.gov - Search for Treatment Facilities. GPTC does not sponsor any drug or alcohol counseling, treatment, rehabilitation or re-entry programs. 

All students have a right to attend school in an environment conductive to learning. Since alcohol and other drug use is illegal and interferes with both effective learning and the healthy development of young people, the Great Plains Technology Center has a fundamental, legal, and ethical obligation to prevent drug use and to maintain a drug-free educational environment. 

Because of the extensive abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs and their continuous promotion in our society, the Great Plains Technology Center provides drug education units, which are integrated within the standard curriculum. These units are necessary to prepare students for decision-making against drug and alcohol use.

Drug use, possession (including paraphernalia), and sale on the school grounds and at school functions will not be tolerated. Specific infractions and appropriate disciplinary actions are listed in the Great Plains Technology Center Student Handbook. Some possible actions include parental contact and suspension.
