Arms

• Experimental: Stanford REACH Lab Healthy Futures Curriculum
  At the start of Year 1, schools will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either receive 'Stanford REACH Lab's Healthy Futures: Alternative-to-Suspension Curriculum' or 'delay-in-treatment (standard of care)'. Students in these schools who are found using tobacco/nicotine or who want to quit these products will be administered the Healthy Futures: Alternative-to-Suspension curriculum for 3 years.
• Experimental: Delay In Treatment
  At the start of Year 1, schools will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either receive 'Stanford REACH Lab's Healthy Futures: Alternative-to-Suspension Curriculum' or 'delay-in-treatment (standard of care).' Schools in this arm will receive a standard of care for one year. After year 1, the delay-in-treatment group will crossover to receive 'Stanford REACH Lab's Healthy Futures: Alternative-to-Suspension Curriculum until year 3 (receive intervention for years 2 and 3).
