Superintendent Dr. J. Richard Boyes was recognized for his commitment to the Tobacco-Free Healthy Schools Project at the November 3 Board of Education meeting. Dr. Boyes was one of 12 Suffolk County superintendents who were honored by the Tobacco Action Coalition of Long Island for their leadership in the development and adoption of a strong and enforceable tobacco policy.
“Effective and permanent change takes time, commitment, and most of all leadership,” said Karyn Kirschbaum, School Tobacco Specialist from Western Suffolk BOCES. “Dr. Boyes’s unwavering commitment to the Tobacco-Free Healthy Schools Project (TFHSP) increases the likelihood that youth can grow and succeed in a tobacco-free learning environment.”
