This grant enables the district to implement a comprehensive approach to tobacco-use prevention that incorporates evidence-informed strategies. Through the TUPE funding, Capistrano Unified is not only educating students about the dangers of nicotine and vaping but also promoting youth development and providing intervention strategies. The district utilizes the grant to reinforce tobacco-free environments within schools and to offer cessation programs, ensuring a well-rounded effort to foster healthier, tobacco-free lifestyles among its students.
