Smoking on School Grounds

It’s funny how Jeffersonville can be supportive of a smoking ban and yet the Greater Clark School Board evidently has many more reservations. [Clark board cool to smoking ban]

It seems intuitively obvious that smoking is a hazard and it is what we preach over and over to the kids. I understand their concerns, but they need to take some bold steps if they really want to make an impact.

They could certainly limit the ban to Mon-Fri during school hours and no smoking in the buildings if they are concerned about football games. But failing to take any action is probably not the right step.

If I read the article correctly, they already have banned smoking in the buildings at all times, with students not allowed to smoke anywhere on school property.

The proposed change would prohibit adults from smoking outdoors on school property at any time.
