    RE: WCSD’S ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATION ON A


    DRUG-FREE ENVIRONMENT

    Below is a copy of WCSD’s Administrative Regulation on a drug-free environment. On the reverse side is a document entitled
    Drugs in the Workplace, which reviews discipline, treatment and confidentiality.

    We are providing this information to all employees in an effort to clearly communicate the District’s position in this area.

    Please contact an administrator in Human Resources if you have any questions.

    ********************************************

    WASHOE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT


    ADMINISTRATIVE REGULATIONS 4161
    DRUG FREE ENVIRONMENT

    It is the policy of the Washoe County School District to maintain a drug-free environment in all areas under district control. Drug-
    free environment means that no person may engage in the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a
    controlled substance.

    Any violations noted should be immediately reported to the administrator in charge, who in turn shall report the violation to the
    School Police Department. If the School Police Department’s investigation determines that a violation of this policy and/or law has
    occurred, an appropriate action will be undertaken for filing administrative and/or criminal charges.

    All employees are held equal under this policy and as a condition of employment accept the responsibility of reporting any
    conviction on a drug statute violation which occurred on school district property to the school district personnel administrator
    within five (5) days of conviction. The district in turn will notify all required agencies and parties of the violation conviction within
    ten (10) days of the received report.

    Any violations will be dealt with as provided in Administrative Regulation 4119 for licensed personnel, 4219 for classified
    personnel, and 5144.7 for students. Ultimately, under these regulations students may be suspended or expelled and employees may
    be dismissed after due process procedures have been followed.

    All existing school district employees and all new employees shall be made aware of this drug-free environment policy and dangers
    related to drug abuse in the work place. This is to be accomplished through distribution of a brochure, which details the policy, the
    danger of drugs, possible penalties for violations and a summary of district and non-district assistance programs. The brochure will
    be distributed to all existing employees and be included in material presented to new employees during their orientation to the
    district.

    DRUGS IN THE WORKPLACE
    Drug abuse during work decreases competency, efficiency, quality, effectiveness and causes failure to perform the assigned work of
    the position.

    DISCIPLINE

    The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in all locations of the
    Washoe County School District (WCSD) and is cause for DISMISSAL. All employees must adhere to all administrative
    regulations governing the District.

    By regulation, all employees are to notify the District of any criminal drug statute conviction for a violation occurring in the
    workplace no later than five (5) days after the conviction.

    TREATMENT

    If you are covered by a group health insurance program offered by WCSD, you may be eligible for certain insurance benefits for the
    treatment of alcohol or drug addiction. Please refer to your group health insurance plan document for more information. In
    addition, the District offers an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This is a confidential, free counseling service for
    Drug/Alcohol problems. This service is available to eligible District employees and their families. To contact call 322-6066.
