Texas schools reduce vaping incidents by replacing suspensions with counseling and education.

A new vape diversion program in Texas schools is helping students caught using vaping products by offering counseling and education instead of suspensions, aiming to reduce repeat offenses and support student well-being. The initiative, launched in several districts, focuses on rehabilitation over punishment, with participants receiving resources to address substance use. Early results show a decline in vaping-related incidents and improved student engagement.
