Commerce Schools and all of our staff continue to work hard to educate students on the dangers of vaping products. The school district has made a significant investment in vape sensors for our middle and high school to help us in the battle. Parents, if you haven't, please take the time to talk to your children about the danger of vapes. The national numbers are trending up again and we're unfortunately seeing some of the same here locally. State law deems it unlawful for any person under 21 years of age to purchase, receive or have in their possession any nicotine or vapor product.
Here is a copy of the Oklahoma Law for your reference -
§10A-2-8-224. Purchase, receipt or possession of tobacco or vapor products by those under 21 prohibited - Falsifying proof of age - Penalties.
A. It is unlawful for a person who is under twenty-one (21) years of age to purchase, receive, or have in his or her possession a tobacco product, nicotine product or vapor product, or to present or offer to any person any purported proof of age which is false or fraudulent, for the purpose of purchasing or receiving any tobacco product, nicotine product or vapor product. It shall not be unlawful for an employee under twenty-one (21) years of age to handle tobacco products, nicotine products or vapor products when required in the performance of the employee's duties.
B. When a person violates subsection A of this section, the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission shall require the violator to complete an education or tobacco use cessation program approved by the State Department of Health.
C. The ABLE Commission shall establish rules to provide for notification to a parent or guardian of any minor cited for a violation of this section.
D. For the purposes of this section, the term "vapor products" shall have the same meaning as provided in the Prevention of Youth Access to Tobacco Act.

Commerce Community - The first layer of rubber is going on the high school track today. It looks great and we’re so excited to have track meets returning this spring. The track will be closed periodically though the next several weeks. We have hung caution tape at the entrances. Please help us by staying off of the track while the workers are working and our new surface is drying. The track will need to stay closed to all traffic from now until January 23rd for this phase of work. Thank you!
Go Tigers!
