With the legalization of marijuana, certain policies will need to be worked out.

Dr. Lindsay Hall, Mahomet-Seymour superintendent, believes the legalization will have a ripple effect in communities across the state. She says school districts will need to figure out how it affects employee policies.

Dr. Hall indicates Mahomet-Seymour schools' current policy will not change. The possession or exchange of cannabis on school property is prohibited, and they have a zero-tolerance policy for employees. 

With the new law, students could have increased chances of exposure to cannabis. Dr. Hall notes this a concern for her and says Mahomet-Seymour schools will work to make sure students are making healthy choices.

Dr. Hall feels now is the time for education on the legalization of cannabis not just in schools but also for the general public, as many have misconceptions.
