New Texas Laws About Student Vaping

A new Texas law, effective September 1, requires that public school students caught with e-cigarettes on or near campus will be required to take an alternative education program. They must pass an assessment at the end of the course to be eligible to return to the classroom. If the alternative education program becomes overcrowded, school districts can move students in the Vape Abuse Education Program to in-school or home suspension until they pass the required test.
