Vape Prevention

Vape Prevention
Vaping has quickly become one of the biggest health challenges facing youth in the U.S. Vaping can harm the developing brain, increase the risk of addiction, and jeopardize students’ long-term goals. Our district has seen a rise in vaping-related incidents over the past few years, highlighting the need for education and instruction.
Access and Opportunity is leading a district wide initiative to address this growing concern. Please take some time to review the resources below, and check back frequently as new information will be added regularly.
