Campbellsville Independent Schools is now a tobacco-free school district.

Effective with the start of the 2016-2017 school year, no tobacco or electronic cigarette products will be allowed on Campbellsville Independent Schools' property.

Campbellsville Board of Education members approved the new policy during their regular meeting on Monday, July 11.

Tobacco-free signs are now placed at Campbellsville middle and high school campuses, and will soon be installed at Campbellsville Elementary School.

In May, several Campbellsville High School students presented information about CIS becoming a smoke-free district.

Results from a survey taken by CHS students and parents revealed that an overwhelming majority are in favor of the District becoming smoke- and tobacco-free.

Campbellsville Independent Schools is the 53rd district in Kentucky to adopt a tobacco-free policies. That amount accounts for 31 percent of the school districts in Kentucky.

There are now 586 schools in Kentucky with tobacco-free policies, which equates to 46 percent of Kentucky's students being protected from tobacco use.

According to the CIS tobacco-free policy, all students, personnel and visitors are prohibited from using any tobacco products, including alternative and vapor products, on property owned or operated by the school district.

Tobacco products are also prohibited inside Board-owned vehicles, on the way to and from school and during school-sponsored trips and activities.

Students who violate the policy will be subject to penalties as listed in their school's code of conduct.
