Testing will occur only on student contact days during the academic year.
Selection of eligible students for testing will be conducted on a random basis, to be carried out as follows:
1. The testing coordinator will compile a roster of ID numbers of
students eligible for testing.
2. During each athletic season, the testing coordinator will randomly
select ID numbers for the student-athletes participating in a sport from a pool containing the ID numbers of all the student-athletes participating in a sport.
3. The district will make a reasonable effort to contact parents of student athletes who have been selected for random testing.
4. The students selected for testing will be escorted to the location designated as the testing site.
5. 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.
