In their Dec. 2 meeting, the Foothill-De Anza District Board of Trustees voted to prohibit smoking near buildings.
The Board amended its district policy on non-smoking areas to prohibit smoking 25 feet from doorways, windows and ventilation systems.
Under the new guidelines, smoking is now banned in all indoor areas, a move that officially put district policy in accordance with state law.
Furthermore, smoking is banned outdoors in eating areas and during organized events.
The new district policy calls for designating specific areas for smoking at sporting events, while prohibiting smoking in eating and seating areas.
Receptacles for cigarette butts will be moved to specified smoking areas. “No smoking” signs will be posted on buildings. Smoking areas will be clearly marked.
