E-Cigarette Policy
Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) are sometimes called e-cigs, vapes, vape pens, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). E-cigarettes come in many shapes and sizes.
Dallas ISD trustees amend policy for e-cigarettes
During the June 26 board meeting, the Dallas ISD Board of Trustees approved the Student Code of Conduct (SCoC) to align with the recently passed Texas House Bill 6. Effective Sept. 1, 2025, any student caught with a vape device on campus, within 300-feet of school property, or at a school-sponsored event will use Reset Center on campus or DAEP Reset on the first offense or alternative placement on campus for 10 days. A second offense will be a Mandatory DAEP placement or an applicable Project Safe Space assignment.
The new procedures are as follows:
- A parent conference or hearing will be conducted by the appropriate administrator at the student’s home campus to be accountable for student attendance and for applicable on campus or DAEP action that will be assigned.
- A student’s first offense is a Level III Mandatory Placement to an on campus Reset Center for ten days and for campuses that do not have a Reset Center will select the Disciplinary Alternative Education Program (DAEP) Reset Center or an applicable Project Safe Space assignment.
- A student’s second offense is a Level III Mandatory Placement to DAEP, and student may receive services for substance intervention support.
- DAEP team members will facilitate the orientation process for all student placements for parents to have a smooth transition to promote positive student outcomes.
