Students are forbidden to possess, consume, or distribute banned substances. They are also forbidden to knowingly be present with others who possess, consume, or distribute banned substances.
Violation of this policy may result in detention or suspension from school and/or suspension from co-curricular participation, or possibly lead to expulsion. Additional consequences may apply for co-curricular participation based on individual program codes of conduct.
Warning for Adults Regarding Underage Drinking
The Wisconsin Social Host Law (Wis. Stat. sec. 125.07(1)(a)3) makes it illegal for adults to provide a location for underage drinking. “No adult may knowingly permit or fail to take action to prevent the illegal consumption of alcoholic beverages by an underage person on property, including any premises, owned and occupied by the adult or occupied by the adult and under the adult's control.” The first offense may carry a fine of up to $500 (Wis. Stat. sec. 125.07(1)(b)). Additional offenses are considered criminal and could result in increased fines and/or imprisonment.
