The unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance while on Sonoma County Junior College District property or being under the unlawful influence of a controlled substance while engaged in activities endorsed, sponsored, or supported by the District is prohibited.

Employees (including student employees) found in violation of the above controlled substance policy will be subject to suspension and/or dismissal by the District.

Suspension and reinstatement may be subject to employee participation in drug counseling, rehabilitation, or other approved employee assistance program.

Federal regulations require that employees convicted of drug violations in the workplace notify their employer of such conviction within 5 days. The District will thereupon notify appropriate federal agencies of such conviction within 10 days. After such notice, the District will have 30 days to take appropriate personnel action, up to and including termination, or requiring satisfactory completion of an approved rehabilitation program. Failure to complete such steps may result in the suspension or termination of federal grants or payments (see 34 CFR Part 85, Sections 85.615 and 85.620, Drug Free Workplace Act, 1988).

The District will encourage those programs, lectures, presentations, and resources on its campuses that warn of the dangers of drug abuse and promote awareness of the importance of a drug-free workplace.

The District will conform to all regulations set forth in the California Education Code related to employee use of controlled substances.
