Vaping among students is a growing concern, and many parents may not realize the serious consequences that come with it. Schools across the region have implemented strict policies prohibiting vaping devices on campus, and violating these rules can have lasting effects on a student’s future.
What Happens if a Student is Caught with a Vape?
Possessing a vape at school isn’t just against the rules—it comes with significant disciplinary actions. If a student is found with a vaping device, they can face:
Immediate confiscation of the device
Required participation in educational intervention programs
Possible placement in an alternative school for repeat offenses
For students caught with THC vapes, the situation becomes even more serious. THC vapes are illegal, and possession can lead to criminal charges, long-term legal issues, and impact future opportunities.
Why Parents Need to Start the Conversation
Many students don’t fully understand the risks associated with vaping. It’s important for parents to talk to their children about the dangers of vaping, the potential disciplinary actions, and the long-term impact these choices can have.
