Alcohol Breathalyzer Procedure: Students who participate in extra-curricular activates will be subject to random breathalyzer tests. Students may also be tested if alcohol use is suspected. Breathalyzers may be used on busses, hotel rooms, or in any other area a student may be in during a school-sponsored event. (Testing of students will be done in private and in the presence of two adults.) Prescription Medication: Students who are taking prescription medication must provide a copy of the prescription or a doctor’s verification to school personnel at the time a urine sample is collected or within forty- eight hours after the urine sample is taken. If test results are still unclear due to the possibility of prescription drugs the test, along with copies of the prescription, will be sent to a lab for further analysis. Students who refuse or fail to provide timely verification of prescriptive drug use and who test positive will be subject to the actions specified below for “positive tests” irrespective of their use of prescriptive medications. Scope of Tests: A Urinalysis test will be performed by the use of a panel-integrated cup with adulteration strip. Urine test will test for marijuana, cocaine, and opiates including amphetamines, methamphetamine with ecstasy PCP, and Tobacco. Access to Results: The testers will be authorized to report results only to the Superintendent or such other adult persons as the Superintendent may designate. Test results shall be destroyed no later than the individual’s graduation. Procedures in the Event of a Positive Result: A student may contest the results of a mandatory test. If a student or parent contests the mandatory test result, a second test can be administered as soon as a second sample is produced. Students will remain under the supervision of the test administrator until the second sample is produced. Consequences of Positive Result: First offense: Suspension from two consecutive games, meets, matches, competitions or performances at the same level of play or two weeks whichever is greater. Practice may be continued following a personal assessment of the student by a licensed substance abuse intervention or treatment program and/or participation in a district approved intervention program. No practice or participation will occur until the personal assessment has been completed. Second Offense: If a second offense should occur, during any activity season, the student will be suspended for the remainder of that activity season or a six-week suspension from games, meets, matches, competitions or performances whichever is greater. Student participation in an assessment by a licensed substance abuse intervention or treatment program with prescribed follow-up is required. Practice may continue only after the assessment has been completed and positive participation in the prescribed follow-up is occurring. Third Offense: An eighteen-week suspension from all games, meets, matches, competitions, performances and practices. Reinstatement of eligibility at the end of the eighteen-week
