Know the Facts & Consequences: Say NO to Vaping!

The Effingham County School District is committed to the well-being and development of all our students. As part of our mission to educate the whole child, we are focusing this year on the dangers of vaping. According to the American Lung Association, "Research shows that vaping is dangerous, highly addictive, and harmful to a child's health and brain development. And like other addictions, it's easier for kids to never start than to try to stop."

In alignment with these concerns, the ECSD Board has implemented stricter penalties for students caught vaping at school or any school-related events. We want to partner with you in helping our students Say No To Vaping!

• 1st offense: 5 days Out of School Suspension (OSS) and probation
• 2nd offense: 10 days OSS and referral to the Discipline Designee

We urge parents to talk to their children about the risks of vaping and support our efforts to create a healthy and safe environment for all students. Together, we can help our students make informed choices and prevent the harmful effects of vaping.
