Random Drug Testing

Current law allows school districts to implement a drug testing program if students voluntarily agree to participate in a random drug testing program as a condition for their participation in competitive extracurricular activities or to qualify for parking privileges. Student participation in these activities is a privilege and carries a responsibility to set a positive example for fellow students, BISD, and our community by avoiding the use of illegal drugs and/or alcohol. A consent form will require signatures from both the participant and their parent/guardian.

The purpose of a student drug testing program is to act as a deterrent against student drug use, not to “catch students using drugs.” The policy requires that consent to the drug testing program must be obtained before a student in grades 9-12 will be allowed to participate in any competitive extracurricular activity or obtain a permit to park on campus. Additionally, parents of students not otherwise participating in the drug testing program may request that their students be included in the program. Sanctions imposed by the policy include notification of parents, conferencing, counseling, and the following suspensions of parking privileges and participation in extracurricular activities:

First Offense	15 days
Second Offense	30 days
Third Offense	1 year
