Student Health Policy on Chemical Use, Abuse & Dependancy (Policy #5175, #5180)
Mount Anthony Union High School recognizes that chemical dependency is a treatable illness. Health problems of youth are primarily the responsibility of the home. Community and school share in that responsibility because chemical problems often interfere with behavior, learning and the fullest possible development of each student.
Mount Anthony Union High School, wishing to intervene early in the disease process, will have personnel contact the student manifesting signs of misuse and abuse and make an effort to both educate and aid the student.
The responsibility for a chemical dependency program for the students in the school setting is a shared one among the administration, the high school staff, the Board of Education, the parent and community, and the student.
