DEFINITIONS RELATING TO ALCOHOL, TOBACCO/NICOTINE, E-CIGARETTES AND OTHER DRUG PROHIBITIONS
- Alcohol, tobacco/nicotine, e-cigarettes or other drugs - A controlled substance as defined by state statutes including any form of intoxicant or mood altering substance not prescribed by a physician.
- Drug-related paraphernalia - All products, materials, containers or equipment which are used or intended to be used for the producing, storing, concealing, inhaling, ingesting, injecting or otherwise introducing a prohibited substance into the body. The vagueness of this term and the difficulty of prohibiting the use of an otherwise innocent article because it is sometimes associated with prohibited drug use may make effective implementation of a ban on paraphernalia somewhat difficult. Administrator discretion is necessary in this area.

- Distributing - Providing for a consideration or offering to provide a prohibited substance. This definition applies regardless of whether or not a prohibited substance or consideration is actually exchanged. The giving away or sharing of a prohibited substance with another person is also included under this definition regardless of whether or not there is evidence of the intent to profit or otherwise gain from the act.
- Screen – The testing for the presence of a prohibited substance.
- Assessment - By a professional alcohol and drug counselor. A thorough assessment to assess the influence of chemicals/chemical use in an individual’s life. Recommendations are made based on individual need.
