The district publishes through its board portal, which often points to a whole policy folder or meeting agenda rather than this one document. Rather than send you digging, I'll add the exact source the moment I can link it directly. The plain-English summary below is drawn faithfully from that original.

Last Updated: September 11, 2018
Key Rule: Reed Union School District is completely tobacco-free. This policy prohibits all smoking, vaping, and use of tobacco or nicotine products on all district property, in district vehicles, and at all school events—whether on or off campus. This applies to everyone: students, staff, and visitors.
What's Banned: Cigarettes, cigars, chewing tobacco, e-cigarettes, vapes, hookahs, and any device that delivers nicotine or vapor. Components and accessories are also prohibited.
Special Rules: No smoking or tobacco use within 25 feet of any playground (except on public sidewalks). Threatening or retaliating against someone enforcing this policy is prohibited.
What's Allowed: FDA-approved smoking cessation products like nicotine patches or gum prescribed by a doctor.
Community groups using school facilities must also follow these rules.
What this means for your family
For Families: Your children learn and play in a 100% tobacco and vape-free environment. If you attend school events, use playgrounds, or visit campus, you cannot smoke, vape, or use any tobacco/nicotine products anywhere on school property or within 25 feet of playgrounds. This includes e-cigarettes and vaping devices. Violations may result in consequences. This policy protects your child's health from secondhand smoke and normalizes tobacco-free living.
