Oak Hill Academy 2025-2026 Policy Manual

• If any of these products (including supplies and paraphernalia) are found on school grounds, they will be immediately confiscated and tested by OHA administration for possible illegal drugs. The charge for this test will be applied to the Student Expense Account, regardless of the test results. Substance Abuse Policies • Possession, use, or distribution of narcotics, intoxicating beverages, drugs, drug paraphernalia, inhalants (including all aerosols), marijuana, and improper use or possession of prescription drugs is strictly forbidden. A violation may result in immediate expulsion. Possession of drugs, alcohol, or a prescription medicine in the dormitory room or on the person on campus will be considered prima facie evidence and cause for expulsion. • The Administration may search or authorize the search of any room or area where a student is suspected of having or using drugs or alcohol. The Administration reserves the right to search the individual student. Drug dogs will be used at the discretion of the Administration. • All packages will be opened by the Deans or the Assistant Head of School. • A student may be chemically tested for drugs under the authorization of the Administration. All test results will be confidentially forwarded to the parent or guardian. • Since a positive drug test indicates use of an illegal substance, and since use alters behavior, NO DISTINCTION IS MADE AS TO WHETHER THE SUBSTANCE IS USED ON OR OFF CAMPUS. For disciplinary action, please see page 37. Cashless Campus Policy Oak Hill Academy is a “cashless campus.” Students are expected to manage their personal spending using a debit or credit card or a cash app. • Students are responsible for the security of their own cards and cash apps. • Oak Hill Academy is not responsible for lost or stolen cards, or the loss of any funds. Families are encouraged to discuss responsible financial habits and card management with their students before arrival. Theft and Items of Value • A student caught stealing will be subject to the standards of the Honor Code and subsequently will be severely disciplined. • A student is not to enter or remain in another student’s room when that student is not present. • Doors are to be locked at all times when the student leaves the room. Each student is provided a key to the door of their room. It is the responsibility of the student to lock the door upon exiting the room. • Students are not to leave money in their rooms. Cash over $50.00 should be deposited in the Business Office in a personal account. • Students should not ask staff members to hold money or valuables.
