Tobacco Use Prevention Education (TUPE)
The Lassen County Office of Education is the Technical Assistance Provider for the Tobacco Use Prevention Program (TUPE), which is funded through the California Department of Education. The program's goal is to provide education, resources, and support for all Districts and Schools in Lassen County.
The Lassen County Office of Education also serves as the TUPE Tier 1 Cohort grant for all districts in the county to conduct the California Healthy Kids Survey (CHKS) each fall. After the results are received, the County Coordinator works with districts to establish a strategy to address one or more of the areas of need identified in the CHKS. Part of the Cohort grants compliance with Tobacco Free Schools policies, the California Education Code, and Public Health Codes. Assistance is provided to all Districts to ensure the education of students, staff, families, and the community about these policies.

Vape-Free Schools Initiative: American Lung Association
Youth vaping is a growing epidemic, with one in four teens reporting they've vaped and over 5.4 million middle and high school students using e-cigarettes as of 2019. To address this public health crisis, the American Lung Association's Vape-Free Schools Initiative offers schools critical tools to protect and support their students.
Schools participating in this initiative lead the way in combating vaping by providing guidance, education, and cessation support for students affected by e-cigarette use. As part of the initiative, schools gain access to a robust toolkit of resources to share with students, parents, staff, and the community, fostering a healthier, vape-free environment.
