Policy Proposal Presentation and Discussion with Mrs. Mandy Plog Regarding Random Student Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs for Activities Participation
Rationale:
Here is some information from Mrs. Plog. Please also see the attached policies from other schools.
Last year, Mr. Kluver discussed implementing a drug testing policy for students in extracurricular activities. I am not sure where we are at in that process, or if we are still considering implementing the idea.
Alliance Public Schools had a community forum on Wednesday, August 24, at the PAC center to discuss a new Drug Testing policy they are thinking of implementing. Dr. Unzicker said that their school lawyers are reviewing the draft policy to make sure everything is legal. He is anticipating that the policy will be presented to the board at their September or October board meeting and if approved, will be in place by Christmas break. (I attached the Alliance Draft Policy.)
Alliance's draft policy is for random drug testing of students involved in extracurricular activities and those whose parents voluntarily enroll them in the program. The focus of this is to help students, not to punish them. Yes, there are consequences if a student tests positive, but the main purpose is to get the student the help he or she needs to fight addiction. Alliance has received a donation of $2500 from the Box Butte General Hospital to get this going. I attended the Alliance community forum and have additional information to share if the board is interested in what was discussed.
Thanks! Mandy
