Health and safety of the individual and others: any student participating in an activity under the influence of an illegal drug or alcohol creates a risk of death or serious bodily injury, not only to the student, but to other participants and spectators. 2. Prevention: Many students will be able to say no to drugs because they will have an additional reason (i.e., participation in student activity programs) to avoid the use of drugs. 3. Intervention: Individuals desiring to participate in activities will seek professional, clerical or parental assistance for their drug or alcohol problems. Definitions: Alcohol: Any alcoholic liquor as defined under Utah Code 34-38-1. Non Punitive: Test results will not be disclosed to law enforcement or juvenile authorities absent a valid and binding subpoena or other legal process issued by a court of competent jurisdiction. Drug: Any controlled substance as defined in Utah Code 34-38-6, except those possessed and/or used pursuant to a valid prescription. UHSAA: The Utah High School Activities Association. Sample: “Sample” means urine, blood, breath, saliva, or hair. Extracurricular: Student council, cheerleading, all activities sponsored by the UHSAA, and other activities (FFA, FCCLA, FBLA etc.) as identified and approved by the Board. Student Participant: Any student participating in extracurricular activities sponsored by the Duchesne County School District.
