[quote]Title:   Alcohol- and Drug-Free Workplace
[...]
Last Revised March 17, 2019
[...]
The school system, in any job‑related context, does not tolerate the possession of alcohol or illegal drugs or the unlawful use of prescription drugs by its employees.
[...]
Every employee is expected to be aware of this regulation, its requirements and to abide by it.

I'd say being at work, in a classroom with students would be a "job-related context"

Nowadays, many school districts, especially around the DMV have started implementing similar type regulations for their staff.  Please check your local school district policies before you send a bottle of wine onto school property.  Even if well intentioned, your child, the teacher or the school administration could get into trouble for it.  Is it worth it?  Part of a gift is making sure that is it appropriate and allowed in the context and setting.  In this case, it most likely is not.

A gift card would be a better choice.[/quote]
