During the July 14th regular scheduled meeting, the JC Board of Education approved revisions to Policy Code 4304: Code of Student Conduct.

There was special attention to Section F. 36, which provides governance for the "Possession, Display, Use, Sale or Distribution of Vapes".

Revisions define vapes and expresses that there will be a 10-day suspension for any student in violation of the code.

We strongly encourage parents to speak with your child(ren) regarding the details of the policy and the consequences moving forward.

Please know that the Johnston County Board of Education strives to mitigate health and safety concerns related to harmful substances such as tobacco products and/or vapes. The revised verbiage and the associated penalties have been set to achieve this goal.

🎒 📚 Back-to-school season is here, and we're here to help!

As we prepare for the 2026-2027 school year, on Monday, July 27th and Tuesday, July 28th, JCPS Information Services, Transportation and Student Services departments will be hosting a Summer Information Fair at three locations: Cleveland High, Corinth-Holders High, and Smithfield-Selma High.

Families can visit any of these three campuses from 12:00 PM-6:00 PM to complete new enrollment applications, receive status updates on existing enrollment applications, and collect required enrollment documentation. Parents will be able to receive information on how transportation is provided, request transportation if they did not use it the previous year, or discuss any summer address changes that impact transportation. Student Services will also be available to provide student resources.

We look forward to seeing you there!
