Welcome to the new world publicJust learned students in our district must consent to drug testing if they wish to attend homecoming dance. WTH?
How is this not a 4th amendment issue for a public school to do this?
I graduated in ‘97. We had to sign a paper stating we could be randomly drug tested, well, our parents had to sign until we were 18. They even tried it to be eligible to get a parking pass for school. That didn’t go over very well.Apparently it's common for athletics also? Why not require it to use the city parks and pools too.
Jeez, if they'd have done that at our school (class of '78), they would have cut the enrollment by over half, and probably wouldn't have had any sports teams whatsoever.I graduated in ‘97.

FIFY...Apparently the parents approve of this. If they didn’t, there’d bepeopledomestic terrorists at the school board meetings raising hell.
Can’t speak for the others although I think I know, but I was a school bus driver for two years and was subject to random drug testing. Still am, matter of fact, although I’m no longer a public contractor.They tried that BS around here a few years ago with students in sports, band and such. Several parents demanded that all teachers, aids, admin, janitorial, school board members and bus drivers test as well. It got dropped and hasn't been brought up again.
Federal DOT regulations come into play with a bus driver, all licensed commercial drivers are subject to random drug testing and mandatory testing in the case of a vehicle accident when one vehicle has to be towed.Can’t speak for the others although I think I know, but I was a school bus driver for two years and was subject to random drug testing.

Just as bad in adults. Test the coaches and teachers.I'll take the other side of this...
Recreational drug use among our entire population is a HUGE problem. Add in fentanyl and it's more than just a problem.
I'm only guessing the school officials would love to stay out of this, however there is no choice these days.

This will end the issue every time.They tried that BS around here a few years ago with students in sports, band and such. Several parents demanded that all teachers, aids, admin, janitorial, school board members and bus drivers test as well. It got dropped and hasn't been brought up again.
So you think making a kid **** in a cup randomly sometime during the year will stop then from experimenting?It's all good 'till the dead kid on the bathroom floor is yours. Just wanted a little buz...
I could make my sons **** in a cup, drug testing public school students, doesn't fall under an educators job description.So you think making a kid **** in a cup randomly sometime during the year will stop then from experimenting?
You'd be shocked how many ODs i see in people with ankle brackets and active drug surveillance
