In the video, Chambers and Aden express that their intent with this campaign is to help students make the right choices and deter them from vaping while educating families about the consequences of vaping on school property as outlined in Okaloosa County School Board Policy. A letter to parents will be sent home with all secondary students, posted on our website www.okaloosaschools.com, and emailed to all parents in the District.
