Consequences
First Positive Result
A student who tests positive for drugs or alcohol for the first time must
attend a conference with the student's parent or legal guardian, principal, head coach, and athletic director. At the conference, the student is given the option of (1) participating in substance abuse services with a certified clinical counselor, including random urinalysis, for twelve weeks, or (2) being suspended from athletics for 90 days. If a student tests positive during the twelve weeks of counseling the consequences will be the same as a second offense.
Second Positive Result
A student who tests positive for drugs or alcohol for the second time must attend a conference with the student's parent or legal guardian, principal, head coach, and athletic director. At the conference, the student is declared ineligible from participating in athletics for 90 days.
To regain eligibility, the student must participate in substance abuse services with a certified clinical counselor, including random urinalysis, for twelve weeks.
Third or More Positive Result
A student who tests positive for drugs or alcohol for the third time or more must attend a conference with the student's parent or legal guardian, principal, head coach, and athletic director. At the conference, the student is declared ineligible from participating in athletics for one calendar year. The student will not be eligible to participate until the beginning of a sports season following the one-year suspension.
To regain eligibility, the student must participate in substance abuse services with a certified clinical counselor, including random urinalysis, for twelve weeks.
Appeal Procedure
A participating student and his or her parent or legal guardian may request a retest of the specimen at their own expense at a laboratory designated by the district. Appeals must be made in writing to the testing coordinator within 48 hours of receiving the test results.
The entire policy can be found in the District Five Board Policy Manual under JCDAE and JCDAE-R.
