Graves County High School may add caffeine pouches to discipline rules

What happened

The school council is scheduled to consider adding caffeine pouches to the discipline matrix, with the same consequences as nicotine pouches or similar tobacco products. The agenda identifies this as a recommendation, not an adopted rule.

Why it matters to families

If approved, students possessing or using caffeine pouches could face the disciplinary consequences already applied to nicotine pouches or similar tobacco products.

The evidence

The October 21, 2026 Graves County High School SBDM agenda lists under New Business: “Recommendation to add caffeine pouches to the discipline matrix with the same disciplinary consequences as a nicotine pouch or similar tobacco product.”
