Boston Public Schools
We partnered with our public schools to support healthy tobacco free environments for both students and staff.
The School Board recently passed a comprehensive Tobacco Free Environment Policy which restricts tobacco use both inside and outside school buildings, adds a 50 foot smoke free buffer around school property and standardizes administrative responses to tobacco policy violations.
Boston Public Schools will also be implementing a K-12th grade tobacco education health curriculum so that every child will have skills and knowledge to helping them stay tobacco free throughout school.

Learn More About CDC’s “Healthy Schools” Initiative
Research shows that when students eat healthy and are more physically active, they do better in school. With the help of CDC, communities nationwide are putting this research into practice, year-round.
Learn more about what communities are doing to help schools become places where students not only learn about the importance of eating healthier and being more physically active but, in fact, eat healthier and move more.
