The Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College Governing Board has adopted policies
regarding the possession and use of tobacco, alcoholic beverages, narcotics
and other substances. In addition, the Board, through its powers of
governance, actively encourages and supports College and District
administrators in their planning and implementation of the following
activities all of which are designed to discourage and/or prevent substance
abuse among all officers, employees, students, and citizens within the
