Milford Schools Implement Substance Abuse Prevention Policy

MILFORD, MA — Milford public schools joined every other in the Commonwealth in implementing a policy regarding substance abuse prevention and education for its students after Governor Charlie Baker signed the "Substance Abuse Prevention and Education Law" in March, 2016.

In December, Milford school officials sent a letter to parents informing them of a policy that was approved on Dec. 1, 2016.

"The Milford Public Schools is committed to working closely with students, families, staff and community partners to educate all stakeholders on the warning signs of substance use and abuse, in addition to providing resources for intervention and support," reads the letter.

The district has an existing policy that tolerates no drugs or alcohol on school premises at any time. That complete drug and alcohol policy, including disciplinary action information, can be found here.
