Model Enforcement Policy

Once you implement a new tobacco-free school policy, it is important to enforce it consistently to ensure the policy's success. The model enforcement policy below can help you to create an enforcement policy for your school.

You can print out this policy, or download a copy of the policy in Microsoft Word format so that you'll have a 'clean' copy, which can modify if need be, to create your own policy. To download the policy, either click on the link above, or click on it with your right mouse button and choose the "save as" option to save it to your hard drive.
