What is prohibited under the alcohol and drugs standard?

Being on school premises under the influence of illegal substances is prohibited because it poses serious risks to the safety and well-being of students and staff. This standard prioritizes the maintenance of a safe learning environment, where all individuals can engage in educational activities without the adverse effects associated with substance use.

When individuals are under the influence of illegal substances, their ability to perform their professional duties effectively and responsibly is compromised. This not only affects their judgment and decision-making but can also endanger the welfare of students. Therefore, maintaining a drug-free school environment is a key ethical principle, ensuring that educational settings remain conducive to learning and development.

In contrast, the other options relate to acceptable behaviors that support a healthy and responsible approach to alcohol and drug use in educational settings. For instance, responsible consumption of alcohol at school events, appropriate use of legal medication, and providing education on substance abuse contribute to informed and safe practices rather than contradicting ethical standards.
