• All participants may be subject to submit to a drug test (the “initial test”) between the first practice date and/or the first date of competition for the activity in which the participant desires to participate. If the participant has already been initially tested as a result of his or her participation in another activity during the activity season no further test shall be required. • From the date of the first practice until the date of the final competition for each activity, at least ten (10%) of the total number of participants on the team/group may be tested each week. • If the student fails the initial test, the student will be required to meet with an administrator and parents. The student will be placed in a probationary pool separate from the general pool. • Students placed in the probationary pool may be tested at least once every thirty days. On the day the numbers are drawn, selected students will be notified and must immediately report to the designated place to produce a urine sample. • They will be given a sample collector with instructions and an explanation of the process. • Student will be ushered to a private bathroom stall where they will produce the urine sample. • All students providing urine samples will do so alone in the bathroom stall with the door slightly ajar sufficient to permit monitoring, but closed sufficient to provide personal privacy. • Adult monitors (2 monitors will be present at all times) will be assigned to listen for unusual sounds other than normal urination, while outside the privacy stall. • Adult monitors and other persons collecting or assisting in the collection of the urine sample shall be of the same gender as the student giving the urine sample. • All excess clothing, coats, extra shirts, and other garments or clothing accessories will be removed before entering the stall. • Students may be asked to empty their pockets and surrender purses, wallets, backpacks or other bags, sacks or pouches, in order to assure counterfeit urine samples are not hidden on their person; however, full body “pat-downs,” body cavity searches or strip searches will be absolutely prohibited. • The urine sample container will then be sealed with the number of the student printed clearly on the outside. • If the panel-integrated cup does not function properly, the student will be required to provide another sample as soon as practical. • Samples will be collected at a mutually convenient time on the same day the student is selected for testing or, if the student is absent on that day, on the day of the student’s return to school. If a student is unable to produce the urine sample, they will remain under supervision until a sample can be provided.
