- The district will make a reasonable effort to contact parents of student
athletes who have been selected for random testing.
- The students selected for testing will be escorted to the location
designated as the testing site.
- The testing site will be at the school in an area that has a secured
bathroom that will maximize the student's privacy.
Should a student refuse testing the consequences will be the same as if
the student tested positive.
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.
