Within HJUHSD, any student who has unlawfully possessed, used, sold, or otherwise furnished or been under the influence of any controlled substance, alcoholic beverage, or intoxicant of any kind or who has sold or furnished in any manner a controlled substance while enrolled may be, after due process, suspended up to five school days. To provide appropriate interventions to students who are actively involved in substance use and abuse but are unwilling to seek assistance on their own, HJUHSD has implemented a Zero-Hour Drug and Alcohol Program (DAP) for first-time violators of Education Code 48900. This alternative to suspension is based on a student's and parents' agreement to attend and complete Zero Hour Drug Intervention Classes for six sessions.
