Escambia Schools To Consider No Smoking Policy For New Hires
May 14, 2011
The Escambia County School Board may adopt a new policy to not hire anyone who smokes.
The board will vote to the proposal at their regular meeting on Tuesday and then consider the policy in June. The new policy would allow only smoke-free news hires, but it would not apply to current employees.
The new play would not only mean healthier employees, but it is also designed to lower costs associated with health insurance costs and lost days at work.
Similar policies have been adopted by other large local employers, including Escambia County, ECUA, Sacred Heart Hospital and Baptist Health Care.
