The Sapulpa Swat Team will address the Board concerning a 24/7 Policy.
Discussion:
The Sapulpa SWAT Team, Student Working Against Tobacco, ask the Board to consider a 24/7 non smoking policy for the district. The 24/7 non smoking policy would make Sapulpa campuses tobacco free 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The district’s current Policy 922 Smoking on School Premises by Staff Members/Patrons states: the use of tobacco products is prohibited in all District facilities, District vehicles and/or on District property. An exception to this prohibition is outside athletic events attended by patrons and/or District employees who are not on duty. If the Board approves the policy the district would receive free 24/7 non smoking signs and free curriculum for elementary students. Mr. Johnson expressed that if the Board approved the policy he would like to see student involvement with informing patrons and students of the new policy.

This would not increase taxes only use an existing one-third cent sales tax. The existing one-third cent sales tax expires in 2016 but the proposal would ask the voters to continue the one-third sales tax to help maintain the facility.
